The Holmes-Cruises: Reunited and It Feels So Good!

Big Australia/Flynet

Reunited after a month apart, Tom Cruise carries daughter Suri, 3, and holds hands with wife Katie Holmes after arriving in Melbourne, Australia last Friday.

With the sun setting, the family arrived at a nearby park, where they played hide and seek — Suri and Tom hid behind a tree!

The trio is Down Under while Katie films her new project, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark.

Suri looks so grown up! She is adorable.

So adorable! They look like such a happy doting family!

- Melinda on August 13th, 2009

Awww Suri is looking sooo much like her Mama!! Suri’s growing up!

- Doreen on August 13th, 2009

Suri looks just like Tom to me. She’s so cute! Is Katie wearing extensions or has her hair grown out that fast?

- Erin on August 13th, 2009

A month apart? It would take something very, very, very special for me to even entertain the idea of spending a month apart from my son.

- Amanda on August 13th, 2009

This is an extremely staged photo shoot. Also, I can not fathom why or how they could be apart for so long.

- Kori on August 13th, 2009

I really like katie and I really like pics of Suri(love her dress) but Toms image has been really irreversibly damaged to me. I can’t stand him.

- Elzbieta on August 13th, 2009

Suri is incredibly beautiful!

- stephanie on August 13th, 2009

The 2nd picture looks fake…as some people can say about Mr Pitt…I can say about Tom Cruise..he just creeps me out..idk why! Suri is growing into a beautiful little girl though, I love the 1st shot!

- L on August 13th, 2009

The last photo cracks me up. The wind in her hair, her hand brushing it back, and what seems to be a little strut? Looks like Suri is trying out for America’s Next Top Child Model…lol.

- FC on August 13th, 2009

Nice pics regardless its obvious nothing they do can please anyone so why does it matter to you one way or another? We don’t know their arrangement.

- CF98 on August 13th, 2009

Kori, these weren’t staged at all. I have seen other versions of pics, and they were taking a walk through a park in Melbourne when they were spotted by the paps. The second pic they bent down because Suri wanted to “apply” some lip gloss from her little makeup kit. There is another pic where Tom is actually helping her do this.

- Brodie on August 13th, 2009

These pictures look like they’re from a magazine photo shoot. Very staged. They’re a beautiful family, nevertheless. Suri is breathtaking.

- shalay on August 13th, 2009

I’m happy to finally see them not look so ‘picture perfect’ with hair everywhere.

- mom to boys on August 13th, 2009

Suri is amazingly beautiful, and she looks like she has such a fun personality!

- Julia A on August 13th, 2009

Nice to see them all looking so happy! Katie looks beautiful and Suri is adorable as always.

- Brianna on August 13th, 2009

Wow…Katie’s hair is much longer!

While I thought their relationship was strange @ first, these two seem VERY happy together and Suri is a beautiful little girl. Love her strut in the second photo! Tom and Katie must be so proud to have such an expressive little girl, so animated! She must be such fun to be around. My daughters are like that and sometimes you just have to laugh!

I wonder if they will add another child, or if one child is enough for the Cruise-Holmes family? With the age gap between Bella & Connor and Suri, perhaps he’s decided that the family works for them?

- Mary-Helen on August 13th, 2009

Suri looks exactly like Katie! WOW! I love these photos, staged or not. They are such a beautiful family.

- Stephany on August 13th, 2009

Suri is absolutely beautiful! All mom! As for the month apart, eh. I don’t see it as much of a big deal, especially if there were things that had to be done. Of course, I come from a military family where 7 months apart is the norm. Either way, she’s adorable!

- Harley on August 13th, 2009

Wow a family can’t even go to a park without people saying rude comments about them, some of you need to get of yourselves!

Both pics don’t look staged at all so why not just look at it for what it is, a couple spending time together watching their daughter play in the park.

- Jase on August 13th, 2009

Suri looks very angelic in the first photo! She’s def. gonna be a Ms. Diva if she already isn’t!

- JMO on August 13th, 2009

Katie looks awful! Suri looks really cute!

- Crystal on August 13th, 2009

Mary-Helen,

There have been some persistent rumors circling around whether or not Katie will have another child. Some imply that she will have another child when she hits another high in her career. Maybe she is waiting a little bit longer. Who knows. But I don’t see them turning into another Angie and Brad Pitt having 6 rugrats.

It would be interesting to see Suri have a biological brother though.

- Lys on August 13th, 2009

Thanks for that info. I would love to see these two have another child, especially with Suri being so gorgeous, but whatever works for them.

I think Suri has got to be the most beautiful celeb child out there, with Honor Warren as the cutest baby. There’s something about Suri that’s just so darn cute.

- Mary-Helen on August 13th, 2009

I love Tom Cruise as an actor and I think this is a really sweet family. I can’t help but notice that Katie often looks tired or stressed or something — I can’t quite put my finger on it. It appears as though she loves being a mom and has a real connection with Tom Cruise. . . . Why does she not have that fresh-faced, bright, healthy glow she once had? Is it the smoking? The Scientology stuff? Hmmmmm.

Anyway, they’re a super cool family. Suri’s gorgeous.

- AND on August 13th, 2009

Nice to see pictures of them again.

I can understand the month apart situation all too well. I came to the US to give birth after living in UK. My husband has been travelling back and forth ever since then and we are finally going to relocate officially to the US. Sometimes circumstances just require sacrifices. In our case I was uncomfortable with the medical system and really wanted to be near family and in medical care that I could be trustworthy of.

Not judging anyone’s medical care, it just wasn’t for me.

Anyhoo… glad the Holmes-Cruises are together again and hope they can be reunited for good soon! My family will be a week from Saturday. Thank God!!!

- Melissa on August 13th, 2009

I never quite know what to make of this family, but you can’t deny that they look very happy to be back together. Suri is a beautiful little girl and it’s great to see such “simple” pictures of her. While I don’t comment about physical apperence as a general rule, I will say that I much prefer Katie’s hair long.

- Tee on August 13th, 2009

excuse me? katie looks awful? she is absolutely radiant!!! MUCH better than before – and I love her with long hair. Suri looks like a super star in the making – scratch that – she looks like a superstar. Tom looks like he knows how lucky he is – and though the photos look like they’re staged because they’re so beautiful, doesn’t mean they are…geez, they’re damned if they do, and damned if they don’t

- cara on August 14th, 2009

i know this has nothing to do with tom and katie, but seeing these photos (which do look slightly staged to me) made me think of something on the latest episode of jon and kate plus 8. kate was on a boat tour with her kids and there were paps on the boat also. kate, being annoyed by the paps, struck up a deal that if she and the kids gave them “their shot” then they would leave them alone…that could be what katie and tom are doing here with the paps – we’ll give you a couple of cute pics of us then you leave us alone. just a thought…

- SH on August 14th, 2009

I think this family is very cute, its taken an extremely long time but I they are starting to grow on me. Im still not a fan of the arrogant Mr. Cruz but they do seem to make a good family.
But I do find it funny that
Mary-Helen was so against Tori Spelling for her “posed” photographs, but these seem just as posed to me.

- Micheley on August 14th, 2009

It seems some people can’t stand that they are a happy family. It’s not a staged photo shoot. There were talking a walk in the park . Have you haters never taken a walk n the park on a sunny day? You should try it, sometime , you get some amazing shots. If it was staged don’t you think Katie would’ve fixed up a bit. She’s tired & pale in the pics.

- Q on August 14th, 2009

Lys- Actually, Katie herself has said that she DOES want to have more children, just not right away (that was at least a year ago, though…so maybe we’ll be seeing a pregnancy announcement soon!). Oh, and Katie actually looks the best I’ve seen her in a long time!

- CelebBabyLover on August 14th, 2009

I think Katie looks so pretty in these pictures. Last year when she was in New York she always looked so tired and a little bit older than she really is. Suri as always, is adorable.

My husband recently spent a month away from my daughter (the same age as Suri) and me and it was hard on all of us. But we had video chats everyday (hooray for Skype!) which helped a lot.

- Paula on August 14th, 2009

shes too precious for words!

- ERICKA on August 14th, 2009

Awww Suri is such a pretty little girl …. she looks so happy in this photographs

- Bancie1031 on August 14th, 2009

Something is really weird about this story. Is CBB sure about Tom and Katie not having seen each other for a whole month? It seemed they were together likethis all the while, and Tom always made sure to spend time with Katie and Suri, even if it was just a day or two. Most curious!

- eternalcanadian on August 14th, 2009

I saw on the other site photos earlier….and i say this is the first photo of Katie smiling…..all those pics she was not smiling at all as if she was not having fun…..anyway…..suri is beautifull

- QueenB on August 14th, 2009

Suri has been with Katie while she’s filming in Melbourne; it’s Tom who’s been away from them for a month but remember, he has two other children in Bella and Connor so if Katie’s work means she has to spend a couple months of the year in another country, it may be that the family has to be apart for some of the time, especially as Bella and Connor have their own lives to lead now and may have wanted or needed to stay put in New York. But they seem like a very nice family, actually, so good luck to them.

- Marie on August 14th, 2009

It is so refreshing to see two parents who are enjoying their time spent with their child-you can see it on their faces! What a beautiful and seemingly happy family!

- michelle on August 14th, 2009

They are so perfect that their poses look staged.

- Kelli on August 14th, 2009

Micheley, these are not staged photos, that’s the difference. They are photos of a family walking in the park. There was no arrangment with the paps to take these, otherwise they would be dressed to the nines. It’s just a nice happy family.

- Mary-Helen on August 14th, 2009

I love this family. and all 3 of them as individuals as well. 1 Month apart is really not that bad at all. Think of military families and the one parent who is overseas for a yr or more..

- Ashley on August 14th, 2009

These pictures were taken the same afternoon Tom got back (they went straight to the park after meeting) so I think they were just enjoying a warm winter afternoon in the sunshine together again. You can tell they’re happy. This park is in the city, near where Katie is filming, so it’s not like they drove miles away for a staged photo op where the paps had agreed to meet them, or anything like that. I suppose they could be ‘playing it up’ a bit once they were aware the photographers were trailing them, but I don’t mind that – the photos are very cute, and I’m sure they’re not faking the affection they have for each other deep down.

- actualsize on August 14th, 2009

Suri is wearing a silk dress to go to the park. You know, like all 3 year olds. Maybe she just wanted to look extra fancy since she hadn’t seen Daddy in awhile.

- henrietta on August 14th, 2009

Wow, they look so happy. Such a beautiful family. The second pic is too cute.

- Jen1 on August 14th, 2009

Suri is too cute! I love her dress! Both Tom and Katie also look great!

- Emme on August 14th, 2009

It seems like Suri dresses differently when Tom’s there. Maybe she wants look like nice for daddy, but i recall her being dressed more casually in NY.

- Elzbieta on August 14th, 2009

OMG, I had not seen Suri in awhile, but she is gorgeous!

- Rachel on August 14th, 2009

Elzbieta
It’s funny you mention Suri’s clothes. I also had the feeling that she looks a lot more ‘normal’ when she’s just with Katie and always wears a dress when Tom’s around…

- Plauder on August 14th, 2009

The Princess is BACK!!!

Suri looks so BEAUTIFUL!!!!

OMG. I love her and I want the adult version of those shoes. That is so my style

- stedine on August 14th, 2009

Both Katie and Suri look so cute. I love their matching longer hair.

- Bb on August 14th, 2009

This is such an adorable family. They look so overwhelmed with the warmth of love.

- LiL on August 14th, 2009

who knows what you read is true, but on a couple other sites, they actually caught an argument between these two- imagine that! Just like everyone else!

- brook on August 14th, 2009

You hear it over and over, but hey, it’s true… Suri is absolutely beautiful! She has such a unique and stunning look to her. What a little princess!!!

- Marissa on August 14th, 2009

Gosh Suri is growing up to be quite a little lady. She’s so big compared to when we last saw her. She’s lost her “cute” factor but is so beautiful. She’s gonna be stunning when she grows up.

- Denise on August 14th, 2009

Aww. I love the second picture. So sweet!

- Brianne on August 14th, 2009

These pictures do look so staged/fake. Yuck.
I grew up w/Katie in Toledo, OH (our parents are still neighbors in Sylvania), and I have to say I’m surprised at how old she looks…the rest of us look better at 30, believe it or not!

- christina on August 14th, 2009

AND- I have never seen any pictures of Katie smoking. Anyway, I’m not surprised about Suri’s dress. Tom has said that Suri loves her dresses!

- CelebBabyLover on August 15th, 2009

I love how katie dresses suri!

Even though shes wearing a dress here, shes not too dressed up because she is wearing sneakers!

I love those grey sneakers, they look so cute with the navy blue dress!

- cbbfan on August 15th, 2009

Christina, I’m sure Katie is very jealous of you and all the girls back in Toledo…
Katie may not look glam here, but she looks very laidback and relaxed and most importantly, happy. Sheesh, I can’t believe some people are so nasty!

- Sadie on August 15th, 2009

Beautiful family!Thanks for the photos and more please!Tom and family are the only ones that keep me coming to this site.

- psa on August 15th, 2009

Plauder,

I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed. I dunno Tom seems to be a very imposing influence on the 3 some and whenever he’s in the picture it just seems a lot less normal. Maybe its because of the things we know about him! The same we he told reporters to call katie ‘kate’. That didn’t last long.

- Elzbieta on August 15th, 2009

Sounds like someone (christina) is jealous of Katie….. no need to trash her. I think she looks great, and she looks very happy, which is all that matters.

- Marissa on August 15th, 2009

Elzbieta- Actually, I think it turned out that the interview was either fabricated or taken out of context (I forget which). In anycase, Tom seems like a very loving husband and father to me!

- CelebBabyLover on August 16th, 2009

So cute! But I do have to admit the pic of them kneeling watching Suri does look staged…lol. I know it’s not but it did strike me that way at first. Simply a happy family enjoying being together after being apart for so long! The only good thing about papparazzi is they get great photos sometimes and without them, we would not be here commenting;)

- LB on August 16th, 2009

She’s adorable, but I see Tom’s eyes, and Katie’s nose and grin, a perfect blend of their features in one precious child.

- Patti on August 18th, 2009

Suri is looking like such a little lady. Too cute.

- Terri on August 18th, 2009

I like how they are color coordinated And Katie looks like she’s 18

- didi on August 19th, 2009

They are so cute! Suri looks like Tom (I think). Precious family.

- Laura on August 19th, 2009

Melissa…how completely ridiculous – thousands of women have babies in the UK everyday.

- Edwina46 on August 21st, 2009

Edwina – that is true….but would you choose to have a baby in their hospitals versus the US ones if you could pick? The US hospitals are like the British private ones (I know…I am a Brit living in the USA, who had all her kids in US hospitals) British ones offer excellent care, but lack the extras and more often than not, you are sharing your room with at least one other new Mom – not ideal when you have just had a baby and they are all on different sleep schedules!
Back to the post….love the pics of Suri and her dress is adorable.

- ncmum on August 22nd, 2009

Suri is a stunning child, gets prettier and prettier everytime I see pics of her.

- gianna on August 23rd, 2009

I’ve seened alot of beautiful babes in my lifetime and Suri is the most beautiful little girl ever!
