Suri Cruise turns 13 this Thursday April 18, and, in her honor, RadarOnline.com is looking back at her life in the spotlight.

The young teen is a mini-me of her famous mother, actress Katie Holmes, though now that she’s older, her resemblance to dad Tom Cruise has also become crystal-clear.

As RadarOnline.com readers know, Katie, 40, and Tom’s messy relationship will go down in history as one of Hollywood’s most scandalous romances. The two met in 2005, after Katie announced on live TV that she’d had a crush on him as a child and dreamt about marrying him. Less than eight weeks after meeting, the actors went on a romantic European trip together, and Tom, 56, proposed during a dinner at the lavish restaurant in Paris’s Eiffel Tower.

Katie converted from Catholicism to the Church of Scientology for the Top Gun actor and in 2006 they welcomed daughter Suri. For almost six years, the stars seemed like a faultless, love-struck pair, and their family-of-three like the picture-perfect Hollywood unit, but in 2012, Katie filed for divorce from Tom, in part due to his extreme Scientology views.

Katie was allegedly made to sign a non-disclosure agreement following the split, so she’s remained radio-silent about Tom’s ties to the controversial church and to his relationship with Suri.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Katie has primary custody of the former couple’s daughter. While Tom is allowed to see Suri up to 10 days a month, he “chooses not to because she’s not a Scientologist.”

In a statement announcing their divorce in 2012, Cruise’s team said the actor was “deeply saddened” and only concerned with the wellness of his three children: Suri and Connor and Bella from his marriage to Nicole Kidman. However, he hasn’t been photographed with Suri since September 2013.

In 2016, the young girl was “miserable” when she realized her dad would not be showing up to her birthday party.
