Does Suri Cruise exist?

Let’s settle this once and for all!  Even though we saw tons of photos of Katie Holmes pregnant, there are many people who doubt that she was pregnant.  And now because we have yet to see a photo of the precious Suri Cruise, people are still doubting it.  Let’s let Celebrity Baby Blog Readers decide…

(Please note: I meant to write Suri Cruise below but it’s too late to change the survey without erasing everyone’s answers.)

I love these new polls! Really fun & interesting!

I’m surprised so many people think that Suri doesn’t exist. What would be the point of faking a pregnancy and child?

Tom’s a little kooky sometimes, agreed, but I don’t think he would go so far as to fake a baby!

Besides, didn’t we all get a stalkarazzi glimpse of Katie’s postpartum stretch marks a few weeks ago? I don’t think people as tiny as her just develop stretch marks!

Tom & Katie and Scientology baffle me sometimes, I will admit. But honestly, I think they are just protecting their baby from the public. I seem to recall he did the same thing with Connor and Isabella when they were tiny.

That being said, I would love to see her.

It is a cute idea – I was wondering why you did not put Suri *Cruise* as the name posted with this poll. The press release indicated she had his name, so I do not think a political statement needs to be made just because her parents are not married.

- Nicole on

Up until a week ago I really loved CBB. Now I really do not. You say in the ground rules that this site is for admiring celebrities and thier babies, but you seem to be encouraging lots of ill-will.

Not that my opinion matters, as most people perusing gossip sites (as this one sadly has become) are not of the same mind as myself.

But at least I spoke my piece.

- rachel on

ahahaha at the people who think Suri is a fake. I’ve got to admit though that it seems things are a little fishy but that’s my opinion.

- Shelly on

Does she exist??? That’s a tough call. It is strange though, that the man who went balstic about his love for Katie on Oprah, can’t share a picture of his baby. I applaud the celebrities who are releasing photo’s of their newborns…..it makes the children/families not so “hunted”.

This whole TomKat relationship was strange from the beginning. Should we expect anything less from the lack of pictures???

- SuzyBee on

You forgot two options:

1. Yes, but Suri wasn’t born on the day they said she was and they faked part of the pregnancy.

2. Yes, but they adopted and faked the whole pregnancy.

- dave on

I say we start a new club first it was free Katie now it should be free poor Suri. Do you think they are using Michael Jacksons oxygen tank for her? The PaP’s have been stalking their home and not even a covered baby pic has been released when does this baby get fresh air?
too bad this is the life the baby is starting with.
Give the baby some fresh air and sun. Why are people not calling children aid on them?

- Lis on

I want to know what her middle name is.

- NicoleMarie on

oh, come ON.

Up until a week ago I actually liked this blog.

Lately it’s been making me sick.

- rachel on

oh, come ON.

Up until a week ago I actually liked this blog.

Lately it’s been making me sick.

- rachel on

I dont know…I can see why people say she dosent exsist. I sometimes have my doubts. He hasnt been very private wih his relationship with Kate or the pregnancy so now he is suddenly private, weirds me some.

- Karmellah on

I thought people were better then this, I guessed wrong.

And why werent people calling child services when we didnt see a pic or anything that showed violet affleck existed for like two months? And calling cps for what, cause they havent released a picture/?Gimme a break.

Why on earth would they fake a pregnancy? You think they dont know what people are saying about them? All they need to do is to stage some shot holding some baby and they arent doing that, good for them. I hope they protect this child for as long as they can, they dont need to release any pictures cause I know people are going to have something to say then too. With all these nasty comments, even from people who should know better and should be above this, its no wonder they have no intention of releasing a picture.

And her name is Suri Cruise, that’s what the statement said.

- mystique on

Oh good lord! of course she exists! However, I was tempted to vote that the Scientologists have custody of her.. as I’m sure this is all tongue-in-cheek good fun. Since we are all speculating I”ll throw down my 1 cent opinion: The feeding frenzy during the pregnancy was outrageous (and I ate up every bit of it) so TOM laid down the law fearing NO security is guaranteed. Unfortunatly, releasing NO photo of Suri is going to up the ante, so to speak. I’m also curious what others think about the idea that Tom’s “religious leaders” are keeping a tight net around mom and daughter… for example: “they” want to have control on ALL knowledge this little one absorbs for the get-go?? Just throwing out ideas to pontificate on. ALSO, is it just me or do Tom’s older 2 kids RARELY hang with mom? anyone?

- Campbell on

Love taking these new polls and soooo happy I can post now! LOL

- Doreen on

First I’m on board with David’s theory, I really don’t think Suri exist, and Yeah I think they faked the whole thing and if or when they’ll show “Suri’s picture” it’s be a child that’s adopted. Also Campbell, I’m with you on that one, I rarely see pictures with her kids with Tom until her wedding where I saw one snapshot of her daughter at the wedding..LMAO I swear Tom, Katie and Britney..They just keep us guessing with everything they do..lol Danielle..I love polls and the ABILITY TO ACTUALLY POST THINGS..WHOHOHOOOO!! Feels good to be back!

- Natalie on

I think that its stupid people don’t think she exist. If she didn’t and people found out about this, it would ruin Tom’s career.Plus its their baby, and not the public, no matter how much people like think so.Katie and Tom are not hurting their baby in anyway, by not showing pictures to the whole world of their baby like angie and brad.So what he was acting crazy on oprah, that doesn’t justify him having to show suri picture to the world. I applaud celebs like him,jennifer and ben for not releasing photos of their babies.Their more concern about their babies, than trying to make money off their babies.

- karlee on

“And why werent people calling child services when we didnt see a pic or anything that showed violet affleck existed for like two months? And calling cps for what, cause they havent released a picture/?Gimme a break.”

After 8 weeks, Ben was spotted pushing Violet in a stroller. Do the Cruises’ ever take Suri outside for just a walk or something?

- dave on

I was just commenting on this the other day with my husband… Of course she exists (I don’t think they would go through all that trouble, and to see stretch marks/nursing bra and to know she gave birth alongside of Brooke Shields, etc), but Suri really does need to get out and get some fresh air IMO. Even Shiloh is going out all wrapped up. Wrap up Suri and go OUT! But everytime they leave, she’s left behind, poor thing….

I don’t think Danielle stooped low, this was just a “fun-to-see” poll…

And I’m so glad I can post now too :-)

- Keila on

As far as the Scientology issue goes, Tom and Kate/Katie’s fellow Scientologist’s, Kirstie Alley,had photo’s of she and her then husband Parker Stevenson taken with both her children when they were younger than Suri. William was almost 2 and Lillie was a newborn.

Also, another famous scientologist, who lives in my County here in Florida, John Travolta, had photos of BOTH Ella and Jet printed when they were babies, I know one was of Kelly and Olivia Newton-John, with Ella Bleu, who at the time was the same age that Suri Cruise is now.

So as far as the “Scientology” issue with taking photo’s, the first week might be legit but the first 4+ months is not true. I mean what will that child have happen if she is shielded and then all at once the cameras start popping in her face.

I think that it did come down to the money, Tom was looking to get 3-4 million for the photos and I remember that they had a photo shoot and no made a high enough bid.

I don’t know what is going on but Katie’s family is also very tight lipped as of late. Who knows? Her father was upset about her weight loss and exercising after the baby.

IMPO I think he needs to get over himself and I hope for Katie and Suri’s sakes that, Katie doesn’t get pregnant again this fast.

- Josie Kay on

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh my god. When I read the options I cracked up so much. LOL. I don’t know why, but they are just absolutely hilarious to me. Thanks for making my day! :)

- Mommyx1 on

HAHAHAHA! This is so funny. I think she’s on mars with the other aliens. Just kidding… I think she’s real but I think it’s strange that we don’t even see a picture of her covered up in a car seat or stroller or anything.

- Hilary on

Oh, come on. Tom Cruise is one of the most insane famwhores ever. He relentlessly pimped out his fake relationship (I will never believe that relationship is real – look how many other starlets admitted he’d audioned them for the role of girlfriend) and was insane about pimping the pregnancy. This is a guy who invited the paparazzo to his son’s ball games (fact). Watch the Katie Holmes shoe shopping video on Splash – the store worker OFFERED to have the paparazzo outside removed and not only do Katie and her handlers clearly say no, Katie insists on spending the entire shopping trip within a 15ft range of the windows!
There is plenty of reason to believe the pregnancy is faked, and no reason to believe she gave birth. There’s never even been any proof they were at a hospital and that ‘stretchmarks’ photo just looked like the marks anyone gets from sitting crouched wearing tights jeans, like Katie had been. I get the exact same marks on my stomach when I wear tight jeans. Did not look anything like stretch marks.

You know, it is not unheard at all to fake a pregnancy. Marvin Gaye’s wife did it (she pretended to be pregnant when he knocked up her young niece, then pretended the baby was hers), and there have been lots of cases in the news. And fake relationships are incredibly common. People need to stop being so naive and admit there is something deeply suspicious about all this.

- Jane on

I think that since Tom has been living on his own crazy planet for a while now, anything is possible at this point. I have been one of those who thinks she hasn’t existed from the beginning. As for all those who say “But there are stretch marks?”, do you believe the blood in movies is real too? ;) I think Tom is impotent (and I think he even admitted that in the 90′s some time) and they either a) adopted a baby and she doesn’t look like either of them so they’re trying to figure out what to do, b) they are just crazy enough to need the publicity for both of their horrible movies last year and this was a way to boost promotion last year and she doesn’t exist at all, or c)the “real” Suri is still in some crazy Scientologist lab being cooked up. Any takers for my theories?

- staceymay on

Brooke Shields confirmed Katie did not give birth next to her (she said to the press that first she heard about them supposedly being there was when she read it in the press later on). If someone there saw no sign of them , pretty clear they weren’t there.
And the nursing bra was so obviously faked. The cup wasn’t loose, it was actually gone. Who would deliberately cut/remove the cup of their bra out and then do a photocall like that? Don’t tell me she didn’t know her exposed breast was flapping out because I’ve had two kids. I’d really love to know what kind of Scienotology magic allows a woman who claims to be breast feeding to walk around for two hours wearing a satin top with her breasts uncovered without leaking.
And why was she been flying all over the US for days on end without her baby? I wouldn’t do that right after I gave birth.

- Scientology is a lethal cult on

I’m not so disturbed by the fact that Suri’s pictures haven’t been published yet, rather I’m more surprised that there’s been absolutely no sighting of her ANYWHERE! Not even concealed in a stroller or sheltered under a blanket while out and about with her mom or a nanny. I wonder has she even left the house since she came from the hospital? I think that’s why the speculation of Suri’s existence arises. I know I’m guilty of it… *ashamed* LOL

- TK on

Well, the skeptic in me thinks that she doesn’t exist, and I wouldn’t put it past Crazy Cruise to fake a pregnancy. And, Katie’s clearly brainwashed, so she wouldn’t object. And, it is odd after he’s pimped out everything close to him except this “natural” born child.

So, I think really one of 2 things are the case:
1. The baby was actually born earlier than they said, and if they were seen with her or released photos, it would be obvious

2. The child has some sort of disability, and they’re embarassed, which would be really sad. But, isn’t it true that Scientology believes that disabled individuals should be “sacrificed” or can be cured? Not positive, but I’m just checking.

Bottom line – there’s a reason we haven’t seen her yet, and I do not believe it’s Crazy Cruise protecting her. It’s something deeper, whether it be that she’s fake, a different age, or disabled.

- Nicole on

I’d love to see this baby. Of course she’s real but keeping her hidden for months is so stupid. When she’ll finally make her appearance, she’ll probably be wearing a veil like Michael Jackson’s kids.

- pink.lioness on

It’s funny you bring this up Danielle. In the beginning, when I first heard that Tom and Katie were expecting I was doubtful but I came to believe it. I still do. I think they are the biological parents of this little girl, however I have high doubts when it comes to Tom and Kate’s speedy relationship. I mean, out of nowhere they meet, fall instantly in love, get engaged and announce they are expecting. To me it seems a little shady. I truly believe they were never in love with each other begin with but Suri does exist. She’s just hidden and never seen with her parents which is just sad. I hope we get to see her with at least one of her famous parents before she turns 25!

- Samia on

where is it printed or stated that celebrities ~HAVE~ to release photos of their children?

- Tams on

They don’t have to, but why haven’t they taken her out for a walk or something? Gwen and Gavin took Kingston out before they released photos.

- dave on

>>2. The child has some sort of disability, and they’re embarassed, which would be really sad. But, isn’t it true that Scientology believes that disabled individuals should be “sacrificed” or can be cured? Not positive, but I’m just checking.

I’m leaning toward that option too. I think it makes a lot of sense, because Tom Cruise has such an inflated ego, he couldn’t bear if his purportedly biological child was anything less than perfect.

I believe Suri does exist, but I’m not convinced that Katie was actually pregnant. Maybe it was an adoption or surrogacy. It just doesn’t make any sense to show off pregnant (“pregnant”?) Katie and then nothing after the birth. Plus with Tom flying all over the place to promote MI:3, everything is just very very weird.

- Laura on

I should also add that since the “birth” Katie seems to have gained more weight then she did while “pregnant” and she looks terrible. Poor Katie.

- Shelly on

i believe Suri DOES EXIST, and that Katie was pregnant…i have to admit TOm Cruise act like crazy but i think faking a pregnancy and a baby is insane

- Anna on

I don’t really care if I don’t see a pic of Suri. They have every right not to release one. The only thing that I find odd is that there hasn’t even been one picture of the baby leaving the house with either of the parents. Even a blanket over a carseat so you can’t see her pic. I feel bad that Katie can’t go out out (for whatever reason) for a walk with Suri in this nice weather.

- Lorus on

No matter what the truth is Suri will always be looked upon with some skepticism. Some people will always wonder if she is the biological child of Tom Cruise; some will wonder if she was conceived just to promote Tom’s movies. I feel bad for her.

- funkyfeet on

first and foremost LMAO at this poll!!

okay here is my thing I know I joke often about there is no Suri but don’t you think that connor or Isabella would know differently? That’s not something you want your children to lie about!

I think she exist but I think Tom is really being weird and this child to me seems like she’s going to be raised far different then Connor and Bella. I think he’ll keep her sheltered and protected and we won’t see her that often. But it does amaze me that not one photo has been taken of this famous child!

- joy on

Brooke said she heard and and they were both busy at the time, which is true. Many celebs try to make this time as private as possible and there is HIPPA. It is very likely that they were on the same floor and didnt know it. How many women here who gave birth in a hospital know all the other mothers on that floor? And we’re talking about celebs here with private suites, Brooke’s comment means nothing.

And I stand by my theory if Katie had not given birth in a hospital, the media would have been all over that story by now. As it is not hard in this day and age of ‘sources’ to find out if a celeb gaved birth in a hospital and no one has refuted that fact yet.

I find them faking a pregnancy ridiculous, Tom treasures his career and no way will he take the chance of being caught. My gawd do you know what this would do to them? And how about their families, so they must be involved in this too, huh.

And Tom has never said he was impotent, ever. Its folks jumping to conclusion cause he never had a biological child before Suri. And there are many reasons why people never have a biological child, many people choose to adopt. Also Nicole has confirmed that she miscarried and the child was Tom’s, unless people are choosing to ignore that fact too. And last time I checked, she still hasnt had a biological kid either.

As for katie not going anywhere with her kid, how mnay times has she gone places? You havent seen pictures of mothers here without their newborn? Katie hasnt been seen that much so we can guess that most of the times she is with suri. I dont know why people are making such a big deal out of this. And dont even gimme this stuff about everywhere I go my child is with me, that’s hogwash. And even when that’s the case, being seen without your child like six times in three months is not that much. Its not like KH is out everyday without suri.

And people need to get their facts straight and stop spreading rumours and lies, no one ever said that Tom auditioned them, such lies. Kate Bosworth, Scarlett and Jessica Alba have all denied thsoe reports either thru their reps or in interviews. Scarlett personally did so on Entertainment Tonight and didnt know where people got that from. Jessica Alba did so in an interview that was on MSN and she’s even gone on to say that she would like to have a career like his. Yeah sounds like someone that was hit on and made an indecent proposal. Its funny how most rumours about celebs are shot down but every single one about this couple has to be true.

C’mon, at least do your homework. Google is a beautiful thing.

- mystique on

I agree with some posters that she was born before they said she was- I do believe Katie was pregnant, but I don’t believe the baby is Tom’s. The reasons we haven’t seen her is that a)she’s a lot bigger than she ‘should’ be and b)she looks nothing like Tom!

- Kaycoo on

Perhaps Suri will make her public debut at Tom & Katie’s wedding (if and when that ever happens…)

- KF on

“As it is not hard in this day and age of ‘sources’ to find out if a celeb gaved birth in a hospital and no one has refuted that fact yet.”

They could have gone to the hospital for the setup. Doesn’t mean she gave birth or any doctor saw it take place.

“And how about their families, so they must be involved in this too, huh.”

Nope, they could have lied to their families too. That could easily fit in an adoption theory.

“As for katie not going anywhere with her kid, how mnay times has she gone places? You havent seen pictures of mothers here without their newborn? Katie hasnt been seen that much so we can guess that most of the times she is with suri. I dont know why people are making such a big deal out of this. And dont even gimme this stuff about everywhere I go my child is with me, that’s hogwash. And even when that’s the case, being seen without your child like six times in three months is not that much. Its not like KH is out everyday without suri.”

Unless there’s an illness, you think it’s reasonable to never take a baby out?

- dave on

It’s hard to say if she really exists or not. Since they got together I thought it was all pretty weird. It’s normal for celebs to want to protect their children and keep them out of the spotlight etc. but we haven’t even seen “Kate” or Tom out with her even once. Not even covered or anything. I find it highly suspicious.

- crazylibra on

This article and the associated comments are amusing! lol 8)

Someone above said, “People need to stop being so naive and admit there is something deeply suspicious about all this.”

Suspicious how? Tom can be a freak, but wanting to shield your kid from publicity is hardly cause for grandiose conspiracy therories! Maybe it’s something less honorable & it’s all about publicty or something, who knows? But to to actually think they faked the pregnancy! I think it’s a stretch, a real big STRETCH!

LMAO – seriously, I’m hurting form laughing so hard!!! 8)

Oh & I saw those photos of Katie’s tummy, I’m pretty sure those marks are post pregnancy STRETCH MARKS. I know cuz I got me some! lol 8p

Hey I wonder if Suri is really an alien and she’s purple with green spots?

- gargoylegurl on

Yes, it is suspicious to never take a child out of the house. Nevermind posing for profession pics. Doesn’t mean Suri doesn’t exist. It’s just suspicious.

- dave on

I agree with mystiqe.Everyone knows how crazy the pazzs are for finding out dirt. If tom and katie faked it no birth no baby no nothing.This would be the biggest story in hollywood, and whoever uncovered this would be making alot of cash. Doesn’t anyone think they would have found out by now.why would Tom cruise who has everything almost imaginable do this. Maybe to destory his career, thats the only reason he would fake a pregnancy.

secondly why would Tom ask his kids to lie, and don’t you think nicole would have asked them about their new baby sister.Do you think nicole would let her kids be involved in something like that.Plus how do we know that she hasn’t been out, just because the pazzs havn’t taken a picture of her.How long did we have to wait to see violet again. I’ve only seen like a couple pictures of katie since she has given birth. Maybe now she doesn’t exist either.I belive that people will never be happy about suri. if we see a picture of her next week, I bet people would still be saying thats a fake baby. she doesn’t look like Tom, she is to big for her age. It really doesn’t matter if she exist or not, because people are still going to have their little comments about her.

- karlee on

Part of me thinks that Suri might have been one of the babies on that poster board on the Ellen show. Wouldn’t that be funny is he really did show her picture like they said—we just never really knew.

- KP on

KP, I thought that too. lol :)

- crazylibra on

I have a question. I really don’t know the answer to this one. When have Connor or Bella said a WORD about Suri? TOM has spoken for the kids in every interview I have seen. I mean at one of Connor’s games SOMEONE must have asked that 11 year-old about his new baby sister.

I know kids, I’ve worked with them all my life and older siblings are very PROUD to be a Big Sister/Brother.

He took Bella on a PR trip they said they went ‘shopping’ for Suri but I can’t remember Bella saying a thing about her sister.

Something is just OFF. I mean kids are going to talk. Are these kids in seclusion? Do they go to Private Schools? Did Tom put a GAG order on his kids? (At this point Crazy Cruise would not surprise me)

Sorry I just needed to rant a little. HOPEFULLY someone will be able to answer.

- Josie Kay on

tom’s children are homeschooled.

however, both are actively involved in sports, and the day Suri was born, Connor was not at his game.

and when asked about their little sister, both kids had this to say:

http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=london7af.jpg

- MuffThumb on

KP, I would LMAO if that was true, he showed her picture but really didnt lol. And some of you have a point, wouldn’t it be a hoot that the first pic seen of her is at her parents wedding?

As for them not wanting to show her picture because she doesnt look like them, ru kidding me? Most babies when born you cannot tell that they look like their parents. I would love for anyone to be able to tell from a newborn automatically that she isnt tom and katie’s kid because she doesnt look like them, lets be serious here. Heck even some children grown up look nothing like their parents, some take after their grand parents and aunts and uncles etc.

And speaking of insulting my intelligence, Dave, please, I’m a nurse. There is no way that Tomkat can fake a delivery in a hospital, that is pure nonsense, no offense. You’re grasping at straws here. Even if they had their own doctors, there would be some representative from the hospital there at some point. Then we have nurses and the list goes on and on. And they had the perfect setup, a home birth where no one would have been the wiser.

And I’m not buying it about their parents either, they’ve seen her several times, they talk. Her mom has several children, you cant fake a pregnancy around someone who knows. And thanks Muff for the scan, I havent seen that before but I did know that his children have commented on Suri. And considering they live with him, that will have to be another person(s) that is in this conspiracy.

I’m sorry but there are too, too many things that will have to go right and too many people that will have to be in this so called conspiracy for me to buy this ridiculous faking pregnancy buisness. And if we all know one thing about TC, is that he values his career, if it ever came out that he did this, his career will be over, no questions asked. And call him kooky all you want, I dont think he or Katie are capable of faking a pregnancy. That didnt stop him from adopting before and there is always IVF.

- mystique on

Very well said mystique! 8)

- gargoylegurl on

mystique, you’ve said it all! i cant add anymore, it’s perfect!

and with that, good night!

- MuffThumb on

I dont know one way or another. I do remember thinking that in some of the pics I saw of Katie, when she was heavily pregnant, she seemed to be carrying extremely high for any stage of pregnancy let alond the final stages.

Anyone with OBGY training got any comments about this?

- Edward on

He’s a multi-millionare, of course he’s capable of it. Doesn’t mean it’s the case, but nothing about the situation smells right. It would not surprise me if there was no baby.

- dave on

“The child has some sort of disability, and they’re embarassed, which would be really sad. But, isn’t it true that Scientology believes that disabled individuals should be “sacrificed” or can be cured? Not positive, but I’m just checking.”

I’m liking this theory. Some people are embassered by children with disabilites. When my aunt was pregnant with their third child, the doctors thought that the kid might have had down Sysdrome. When my aunt told us this, she then mentioned I’ll have an abortion if this is the case. My whole family were shocked that she would do that (Thankfully the baby was fine) but it goes to show.

- Jane on

Dave,

Okay. Let’s say there is no Suri. I don’t believe this to be the case, but let’s say it is. I want to know why. Why would they do it? Why would they go to such exorbitant lengths to stage a pregnancy and delivery? What’s the motive?

Why would they go to so much trouble to fake this, then appear in public with no baby? Couldn’t they have adopted a newborn & claimed her as their own? As you said, he has the money to do that. Heck, they could even get a doll, put it in a car seat and place a blanket over it. We’d be non the wiser.

If someone was actually going to carry out such an extreme sham, would they not make sure that photos of Katie with a “baby” (an adopted child, borrowed baby, or doll w/blanket) would appear soon after the supposed “birth”? By not doing so they have generated speculation that the baby doesn’t exist, wouldn’t that be the total opposite of what they are trying to achieve?

You suggested that maybe they lied to their family about the pregnancy. What about Isabella and Connor? Do you actually think they are in on the lie too? If they are, why the heck would Nicole Kidman allow her children to be a part of it? It’s no secret that Tom & Nic have – at best – a frosty relationship. So are we to believe that Nicole is a part of the scam too?

Suri’s absence can be attributed to so many things. Her parent’s desire to keep her out of the spotlight, Scientology, or even her health or appearance. Those theories are a lot more believable, in my opinion.

- gargoylegurl on

haha, no way Tom wants to use her for his next big movie premiere. We all know he doesn’t allow Katie to go out for her movie premieres, so it has to be his. After all, wasn’t it just last week that the tabloids announced Tom had in fact put Suri up for auction (her photos that is) but they didn’t get the same amount as Jolie-Pitt baby and yanked the deal. Come on now, he is just too competitive. I no longer believe he is trying to keep her out of public view because he cares, I think he wants more money for her photos.

- Eliza on

Eliza, you may be right. I forgot to list publicity as one of the reasons for Suri’s absence. At least you believe she exists! YAY! lol

Maybe Suri pics will finally surface right before Tom’s next movie comes out! 8)

- gargoylegurl on

Yes, I believe she exists, I don’t know any other ways to get stretch marks around the tummy area. I’ve had three kids myself and I’ll admit that I DIDN”T allow my kids to have their names in the paper when they were born or even pics online. However, this didn’t stop me from going outside with them. I loved them and wanted to show them off.

It does make you suspicious as to why we haven’t seen her. Many people ask if there is something actually wrong with the baby or even if she is Tom’s. They will be questioning it more as time goes by and no Suri sightings. Tom knows this, he also knows it drives more publicity towards him. Great way to keep his movie in the spotlight don’t you think?

Next you’ll hear someone stealing his photos too. Course that may be the only way any of us see pics of her. It seems to be a trend right now, first Brangelina and then Britney and Kevin. WHo’s next?

Will there be a sighting? I’m sure there will but it won’t be for a while. A movie premiere or a possible wedding, if they ever get married. Or, and people will be mad. But her 1st birthday. Tom seems to like free stuff and this would really pull in birthday presents.

I use to be a big fan, as you can tell over the past year I drifted away. lol.

- Eliza on

The only reason why they may have faked anything would’ve been to “prove” Tom wasn’t sterile or gay, or to cover up for the fact of when the baby was really born.

Anyway here’s another option, maybe Suri was born with an obvious physical disability or deformity which Tom is either embarassed of or they’re waiting for her to grow older to fix (as in a cleft lip, etc.)? (It would be saddening if Tom was embarassed by his child’s disability, esp. if it was Downs Syndrome or something, but who knows what the Church of Scientology tell him to think of a less than “perfect” child?)

- Autumn on

Autumn, that’s what I think. Especially with what Toms relatives said after they saw Suri for the first time. “She’s GOING to be a beautiful baby”

That to me seems like a strange thing to say.

- Stacey on

LOL, the “they’re scared to show a picture because she doesn’t look like them” is just dumb. That’s like the idiots on Maury who deny being the father because the baby doesn’t look exactly like them.

I’m going with the disability/deformity theory. Those stretch marks looked real, and unless they were painted on, I believe she was really pregnant. It makes sense now that she never really showed her bare pregnant belly — she was embarrassed to show the stretch marks. Now, whether or not it’s Tom’s.. that is up for debate.

- Ali on

What’s even funnier are those who “seem” upset by the fact that other people think she doesn’t exist. There’s just some celeb’s out there that come off very crazy and unfortunately due to their actions many people question things, i.e. Tom Cruise or Michael Jackson (just threw him in for the hell of it). Someone brought up the pictures of Katie where it seemed as if she had stretch marks, which I saw myself. I doubted the pregnancy when I first heard about it until the time of the “suppose” birth. In due time, we’ll all see a picture of “their” child. Their whole relationship in my opinion is just questionable, things to me just don’t add up. I don’t need someone trying to explain to me. Knowing that Hollywood actors, actresses or anyone in the spotlight actually hook up to gain more fame just makes me question their relationship. I’m not saying I’m right and everyone’s wrong, I’m just saying the whole thing is weird.

- Natalie on

There is something so strange about all this. When they first announced the ‘pregnancy’ way back in October of last year Katie looked at least five months along (with a protruding navel and everything). Then her belly magically shrinks then gets huge again a few months later and she doesn’t ‘give birth’ for another six/seven months?!?! So fishy…

Second, the fact that nobody has ever even caught a fleeting glimpse of this kid is just bizarre. Even the most protective of celeb parents are almost always seen out and about with their babies, covered or otherwise, at some point! Come on, ‘Suri’ has never left the house in the almost three months since she was supposedly born with either of her parents? Give me a break!

*If* this child does exist I think she’s actually older than she supposedly is or has a defect or illness of some sort. So she’s in seclusion until her age is less obvious (like one year or so) or her problems are corrected or treated.

And lastly, Tomkat were such publicity junkies. All the couch jumping, neverending declarations of love and PDA’s were just nauseating. I find it extremely implausible that a couple so madly in love who ‘joyously’ welcomed a ‘gorgeous’ baby in a ’spiritual’ experience would not be willing to step out in public with her or show at least one picture of her.

The whole thing just doesn’t seem right. There’s something going on and whatever it is it can’t remain hidden forever

- Lauryn on

My question is.. why were there no photos of them even leaving the hospital with the baby??? or even of them leaving the hospital????

- Miranda on

I read this great conspiracy theory at some point about how Katie was already pregnant when she and Tom got together, and that she had the baby already, but they couldn’t show the baby off because it was older than it should be, so they would have to wait until you couldn’t tell how old the baby really should look. I thought it was brilliant.

Really, though, for a pair that showed up everywhere before the baby, then showed up often at first without the baby, it’s hard to not come up with wild theories.

- Whitney on

I believe that the Cruises had a real child, but I don’t think it was Tom’s. I think in their effort to “prove” he wasn’t sterile that something went wrong–maybe the child came out with the wrong racial background to pass for theirs?

- Lydia on

Or maybe the baby looks exactly like Chris Klein? ;)

Just funnin’!

- Ali on

i was born with a birth defect, and had MY parents known, I would have wanted them to abort ME. if i was pregnant with a child i knew was ill, I would also abort.

although i dont think thats the case here. i think they’re just being overprotective of Suri.

- MuffThumb on

I’m beginning to question whether Katie Holmes herself exists anymore, quite frankly…

- ginettissima on

I won’t believe it until I see it – as pf now, I don’t think suri exists.

- Lienne on

Not sure I’m buying the deformity theory either. But say she is deformed in some way, why do they have to be embarrassed of her? Maybe they are protecting her from the mean comments that people are going to say. Imagine all the bashing they’re currently getting, their baby being insulted and called names like alien. Why would any parent want to put their child thru that? Why would they want to put her on some magazine cover for people to mock and laugh at.

And dont tell me they wont, there are some cruel people on the internet and the minute a photo of their child is released, the comments and photoshopping will start. So say there is something wrong with her, I dont see them being embarrassed, I see them protecting her. But that is if I bought the deformity theory and I dont.

Cause if some of you are still buying the article about money, that would mean that they were willing to show pictures of her soon after her birth. So that’s another theory that makes no sense, given conflicting reports. Tom seems to be a loving and wonderful father, and I dont see him being embarrassed of his child.

PS: Miranda, there are many celebs where we dont have photos of them going to or leaving the hospital. We didnt have photos of Madonna, Jennifer Gardner, we didnt even have photos of Brooke going to the hospital only coming back. And there are many, many celebs where that came from. Though there’s a photo circulating around that shows someone coming out a black SUV with numerous umbrellas blocking the view, many think that was Katie going to St. John’s.

And this couch jumping, PDA at premiere’s happened over a year ago, give it a rest. Are people going to be bringing that up ten yrs from now? This yr, all they mostly did was attend soccer and baseball games, I didnt see any exuberant PDA’S, unless they’re not allowed to kiss and hug each other and hold hands like every other couples does.

- mystique on

I think Katie was pregnant before she met Tom & the baby is being hidden because it looks nothing like him.

- raven on

First of all I have to agree with some of the other readers and say that I loved this poll! I thought it was pretty funny….I would not put anything past Tom Cruise. The man is clearly insane and I don’t doubt that he would tell Katie to fake a pregnancy. I’m suprised that the paparazzi weren’t surrounding the house when Katie and Suri returned from the hospital. That poor kid needs to go outside and get some fresh air! If they don’t want a picture of the baby out there than fine, but at least take her for a walk from time to time and cover the stroler with a blanket.
I agree with the other comments that say that Suri was probably born before her crazy dad sent out a report to the media. There are pics of Katie SHOE shopping only a few days before she gave birth…I bet that she was probably wearing a fake belly, because seriously no matter who you are, why are you out shopping days before you give birth? If I was nine months pregnant I think that shopping would be the absolute last thing on my mind and that is a strong comment comming from me because I love to shop! I really think Katie needs to leave this whack job of a fiance before its too late and she winds up “pregnant” again. lol

- Kelsey on

It’s not strange or weird to be out shopping at 9 months pregnant.

I gave birth to my son on Christmas morning. Hours before, on Christmas Eve day, I was out doing last minute shopping!

I was huge but I felt great. I was over due. Many woman that are full term or over due try to be as active as possible in the hopes of helping to start labor.

Katie out shopping at 9 months pregnant is completely plausible.

- gargoylegurl on

hmmm….this is a very interesting thread!

As someone has written already TomKat were publicity junkies prior to the “birth”. Why so secretive now ?

If memory serves Isabella and Conner were rarely seen in the early days. I think I saw 2 photos of them before Tom and Nicole split.

What I find strange is how much time TomKat spend away from Suri. ie: Tom travelling overseas when she was a new-born.

- Heavenly_hibiscus on

The fact that “No – the pregnancy was faked” had the most votes made me laugh.

I like the theory that Katie was already pregnant when she met Tom, but rather than try and pass it off as his child, wouldn’t he get more brownie points by making it public that he was going to help Katie and raise the child even though the baby wasn’t biologically his (a la Seal and Heidi Klum’s daughter)? I know I’d certainly have a higher opinion of Tom if that were the case.

I can’t understand why they don’t just realease ONE little photo to put an end to some of the rumours and gossip that are flying around. One photo wouldn’t end all media interest in the baby (or Tom), but it would go a long way to ending some of the ‘fake preganancy’ gossip

- Luna on

I was thinking maybe something was wrong with the baby. Maybe she has a facial deformity or something? Maybe she is down syndrome? WHO KNOWS?

Regardless, it is THEIR baby and if they don’t want to share her it is THEIR perogitive. ANd who says they dont take her outside? Maybe they do and the press just don’t know about it. I am so sick of all the Tom/Katie bashing…really people, it is getting old.

- Trace on

I don’t buy the theory that Suri has a deformity or an ailment. Tom said that she was a “beautiful baby “with blue eyes or whatever… If she had down sydrome,that would eventually come out publically. Tom would look like a liar. I admit that there is something fishy with this whole Suri thing, but I dont know what it is.I mean to flaunt a relationship and a pregnancy (remember all of those belly rub photos), then to birth the baby and not share that with the public then seems strange.If this was a privacy thing, they would have wanted their privacy from the time they started dating.That certainly was not the case. And absolutely no evidence that this kid exists to top that. Why isnt child service on them to take that kid out of that house.Britney Spears gets all the critisicm for her child. Baby Suri hasnt even been outside in 3 months!

- Gabrielle on

why would child service be on them about anything if the baby doesn’t exist? secondly their is a difference with a baby falling off a high chair getting a head injury.Than people like us who are throughing out conspiracy theories, because we haven’t seen a picture of suri.If that is a reason to call child services on someone, I think its stupid. Not all celebs show picture of their babies after birth, like jen, and shania.So what they were public about the relationship and pregnancy, so what that doesn’t mean they have to share anything with us. we don’t even know tom . Its not like we live with them and are watching what their doing, how do we know they haven’t been outside, have any of us been living with them for three months.So what they are no pictures. Its not like the pazzs stand out in front of their house everyday, because we could have seen something like tom coming and going out of his house, because they have other celebs to follow like angie and shilo.

- karlee on

The question ” does suri cruise exist ?” is really strange to me… I mean..we don’t know anything about their real life, maybe Katie Holmes is a CBB reader I can hardly imagine what she feels when she reads all those comments.. The baby has physicals problems, tom’s not the father, she faked the whole pregnancy,the baby is ugly… This is shocking… Nobody said that about Violet Affleck and we know that Ben and jennifer never shared pictures od their little girl !
For me the little Suri exists, we’ll probably see her one day when her parents will decide it. I’m sure she’s cute and healthy !!

- esther Panda on

What’s her middle name?

- Stéph on

Why does Tom don’t sell the pictures now that he know that everyone want to see them, that his baby isn’t wanted as Angelina and Brad’s one and that he couldn’t have as money as Angie and Brad.

Cool I can post now.

- Stéph on

“I don’t buy the theory that Suri has a deformity or an ailment. Tom said that she was a “beautiful baby “with blue eyes or whatever… If she had down sydrome,that would eventually come out publically. Tom would look like a liar.”

Well maybe he thinks his Down Syndrome daughter is beautiful. A girl at my church has Down Syndrome and she has a lovely spirit that makes her beautiful.

I’m inclined to think either the Scientologists ordered him to keep Suri hidden for whatever bizarre insane reason. I hadn’t seen Katie’s nursing bra pics, I heard that Scientologists don’t believe in breastfeeding.

- Megan on

I am one of those people who thinks Tom is nuts. However I do believe that Katie was pregnant, but that the baby was born earlier than they admitted. Here are my reasons:
I think she was out “shoe shopping” in a fake belly so that we could remember that she was “still pregnant” and could now “give birth” publicly at whatever time they wanted.
Also why else would they buy there own ultra sound machine? So that no-one would know that Katie was really 6 months pregnant when she was supposed to only be three months.
That would be why they were not seen in the hospital at the time Brooke Shields was there because they were there 2-3 months before.
These are my theories.

- Logan on

My theory is that while auditioning Katie for the Girlfriend/breeder role, it was discovered she was pregnant. This was seized upon as an additional bonus, since Cruise could not only use her to refute the Gay Thing, he could also refute the Shooting Blanks thing. Thus the weird pregnancy. I noticed that during the last several weeks she was moving around quickly and easily, her face was not puffy anymore, and her breasts were noticeably smaller. That baby is a lot older than anyone thinks, but after another month or so, it won’t be so glaringly obvious.

- MizLiz on

Heavens!! Poor Katie looked absolutely miserable in those last couple weeks to me. And the gal put on a TON of weight. She was “ultra-thin” in the very beginning of their relationship. I think that Suri was born when it was announced, and we have let our imaginations ( and there are some great ones out there!!) run amok. It’s been fun reading, but people PLEASE… I think Tom is one odd bird, and something about Kate is bewilldering, ALSO, I DO think that very sinister things CAN be orchestrated by people with money and power…. BUT SHEESH!!! We’ll get to see little Suri when we get to. jmo

- Campbell on

Maybe everyones curiosity is what is driving them to hide the baby….eventually it has to boost up the amount of money someone is willing to pay.

How much did someone pay to find out who was so vain….how much would someone pay to find out what they wouldn’t do for love…eventually Suri’s identity will be worth more than other newborns.

- Tamara on

Apparently pictures have been taken of Suri and were bidded upon but wouldn’t catch as high of a price as Brad and Angie’s Shiloh, so the deal was called off all together. There’s another rumor that Katie’s having a lot of post-partum stress and that’s why they aren’t ready to go public about the baby yet. If I were her I’d be scared to be at the middle of this circus the media’s making out her marriage to be.
