Tom Cruise's 'strict rules' for GF Ana de Armas include no mention of estranged daughter Suri: Source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tom Cruise has reportedly laid down firm ground rules in his new relationship with actress Ana de Armas.
One such issue is completely off-limits; any mention of his estranged daughter, Suri Cruise, is reportedly "forbidden".
Tom Cruise has 'completely forbidden' Ana de Armas from talking about his daughter Suri
Tom Cruise, 62, reportedly considers any mention of Suri to Ana de Armas strictly off-limits.
"Don't bring up Suri is his big thing," a source close to the actor told Radar Online, adding, "That topic is completely forbidden."
The 'Mission: Impossible' star has not had a public relationship with Suri, now 19, since splitting from ex-wife Katie Holmes in 2012.
Insiders claim Cruise wants a fresh start and is even hoping to have a child with de Armas, 37, to "make up for his failure with Suri."
Tom Cruise 'does not exist' in daughter Suri's life
The deep rift reportedly began after Katie Holmes and Suri stepped away from Tom Cruise's Church of Scientology following the 2012 divorce.
Cruise, who shares adopted children Isabella, 32, and Connor, 30, with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, remains close with him.
Reportedly, they have already given their approval to his relationship with de Armas. However, Suri appears to want no involvement.
According to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail in April 2024, "Tom does not exist to her."
The insider continued, "Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer."
Suri, who dropped her father's surname in 2024 in favor of her mother’s middle name 'Noelle', has built a private life in New York with Holmes, 45. She has reportedly had little to no contact with Cruise since the divorce.
"He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything," a source told the Daily Mail. "She feels that she has one parent and that is her mother."
Ana de Armas warned of 'ultimate red line' about Suri
Tom Cruise has reportedly kept his relationship with Ana de Armas tightly managed, following a string of private dates and a high-profile outing at David Beckham’s 50th birthday party.
"Tom is charming, generous and intense, but he's also deeply structured," one source told the publication. "He has strict rules about what can and can’t be talked about, and Suri is the ultimate red line."
Another insider revealed that de Armas was warned early in the relationship that Suri is a closed subject.
"Ana was made aware early on that Tom won't discuss Suri. It's considered a painful subject. His inner circle knows it’s not to be mentioned, ever," the source concluded.
