Growing Up: A Balanced Childhood

Suri Cruise was born into the lap of luxury. Thus, it came as no surprise when the media reported that she had joined ‘Avenues: The World School,’ a New York City private school that costs around $56,400 a year. The school taught through ‘MacBooks’ and ‘iPads,’ offered yoga and dance classes, and also let students study foreign languages such as Mandarin and Spanish.

Her posh life, however, gave way to a more balanced one after her parents’ divorce. Suri was often spotted attending playdates with her classmates. Suri was later enrolled at the ‘Convent of the Sacred Heart’ in the Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York.

While Tom always spoiled Suri with designer clothes, Katie now makes sure she leads a simple life. Describing Suri as “very generous and very sensitive,” Katie once said that she refrains from gifting her a lot and also encourages her to donate her old toys.

However, Katie also once stated that “She’s got a great eye,” adding that Suri often offers her fashion advice to her mom. In fact, Suri made her media debut as a model on the cover of ‘Vanity Fair’ magazine with Katie, as a child. Suri also attended the 2015 ‘Global Citizen Festival’ with Katie. Suri likes putting on lip gloss and mascara whenever she goes out. The mom-and-daughter duo spends most of their time in New York City, as opposed to Hollywood.

Growing up, Suri also began spending her holidays like a normal child, mostly visiting her grandparents in Ohio during Christmas.

While Suri was close to her stepsiblings, Connor and Isabella, earlier, she has not been clicked with them ever since her parents’ divorce.

Suri Cruise loves gymnastics and enjoys ‘Broadway’ plays. She likes creating crafts with Katie. Both Suri and Katie are big fans of the ‘NBA’ team, the ‘New York Knicks.’ Though Katie loves Suri, she does not spoil her with lavish foreign vacations. Thus, Suri has mostly grown up enjoying the little things in life, such as dates with her mom at local coffee shops and theaters.

Katie also gifted Suri a puppy named Honey. Suri enjoys life away from the media spotlight. Reportedly, Suri is quite like Katie, as she is not bothered about designer dresses or flashy red-carpet appearances. Suri prefers to dress up casually and be comfortable, although she likes decking up fashionably at times.

In February 2020, the mother-daughter duo was seen walking down the streets of New York, dressed in matching puffer jackets.
