Mostly because lockdown allowed her to spend quality time with her daughter.
Below, we’ll get into all the ways Suri is growing up to be just like her mom.
I do love being a December baby."
The actress could have just as easily fooled followers into thinking the photo was a picture of Suri.
Inphotos, Suri frequently smiles gamely for the cameras and looks nearly identical to Holmes.

And she even seems to gravitate toward high-end brands like Marc Jacobs and Christian Louboutin.
Suri has dipped her toe into acting
Katie Holmes has an undeniably prolific acting career.
At the time, Suri was just 7 years old, and played a pretty small role.
In interviews, Holmes describes herself as a creative, spontaneous person who is also driven by her work.
“I’m getting the projects I want made and just relaxing a little,” she toldInStylein 2020.
As far as we can tell, Suri looks like it’s the same way.
Not Suri, though.
“My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality,” Katie said toInStyle.
“To verify she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident, and able.
And to know it.
She came out very strong she’s always been a strong personality.”
Living in New York City allows Holmes to further encourage her daughter’s individuality and independence.
“The city has a lot to offer, and I use it.
Yes, it’s a little too exposed at times, and we work hard to maneuver and navigate.
But what I love about New York is that for me and my child, this is our vibe.
And the best part of living in the city?
“There’s a place not far from my house that does foot massages until midnight.
That’s what New York offers!”
“I’ll take a class at Broadway Dance Center.
I’ll go to the Joyce Theater.
I do hot yoga and boxing classes.
I have a book club.
The city has a lot to offer, and I use it,” she said.
Holmes aims to nurture this creativity in her daughter, too.
She added that she’d much rather focus on creative projects than other typical kid activities.
“To be honest?
I’m not going to play tag, probably.
That’s not at the top of my list.
But I’ll paint all day, I’ll do the creative stuff.”
Unsurprisingly, Holmes was focused on raising Suri.
“It’s very important that I’m present and she has a stable, innocent childhood.”
As the story goes, Holmes needed someone with talent, and she knew her daughter wouldn’t disappoint.
“I always want the highest level of talent,” Holmes said (viaYahoo!).
“So I asked her!
She’s very, very talented.
She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing.
Does this mean that Suri will be America’s next singing sensation?
Probably not any time soon.
She added that social media just isn’t an accurate portrayal of who someone really is.
As far as Suri’s social media presence goes…she doesn’t seem to have one.
It’s important to get out and live and not always be on your phone.”
“Also, I’ve been feeling inspired to put my point of view out there.
It’s scary, but the process of it is something I really love.”
It appears Holmes passed her strong work ethic onto her daughter.
Katie toldInStyleof Suri: “She came out very strong she’s always been a strong personality.
She’ll pick an activity and work her butt off until she’s really good at it.
Then she’s like, “OK, I’m going to try the next thing.”
She’s very focused and a hard worker.”
Like mother, like daughter!
She just radiates such a kind, unassuming vibe.
And as far as we can tell, Holmes has succeeded in her mission.
But that does not mean that Suri has inherited her father’s shorter stature.
On the contrary, the high school student seems to take after her mother, Katie Holmes.
Photos published inHollywood Lifeshow that the pair looked a lot alike.
Dressed casually in sweatpants and zip-up sweaters, Suri could have easily been Holmes' mini-me.
And, as a longtime lover of the city, Holmes is said to approve.
However, she is “leaning towards” staying in NYC to study fashion.
The inside source added that Holmes is enthusiastic about this plan.
Of course, this does not mean that the single mother does not want her daughter to gain independence.
However, it has been said that she worries about Suri going out alone in the world.
The same insider added, “Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective.”
The actor and director has long expressed her love of that classic NYC environment.
That’s what New York is about.”
Reflecting on that difficult moment, the actor toldIn Style, “That time was intense.
It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it.”
In light of all this bad blood, Cruise and Holmes did not reconcile.
And, interestingly, Suri Cruise seems to have followed in her mother’s footsteps.
As reported by theDaily Mail, the teenager has not seen her father since 2013.
