Katie Holmes' Cutest Photos with Daughter Suri Cruise

They Snuggle Like the Best of 'Em

On Suri's 15th birthday, April 18, 2021, mom Katie Holmes shared two sweet black-and-white throwbacks featuring big hugs with her growing girl.

They Fit Together Perfectly

"Happy 15th Birthday Sweetheart! I love you!!!!!!!! ❤️💕😘," Holmes wrote in the caption. "I can't believe you are already 15!"

They Spend Quality Time with Each Other During the Holidays

The mother-daughter duo appeared to hit the road for a cozy winter getaway one Christmas, as Holmes shared a rare selfie of her and then-13-year-old Suri to her Instagram Story as well as a video of them driving alongside snowy scenery.

They've Grown Up Together

Holmes opened up about welcoming her daughter with ex Tom Cruise in 2006 when she was 27 years old.

"I was happy to become a mom in my twenties," the actress said, speaking with Elle UK for the December 2019 cover story, per Just Jared.

"It's been nice that our ages fit," Holmes continued. "How do I put this? Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together."

They Occasionally Hit the Gym Together

"Sometimes I work out with my daughter," Holmes told SHAPE in the December 2019 issue. "It just depends on the day. We have our routines, and occasionally they overlap."

But the mom admitted that she would never make it a mandatory bonding activity with her teenage daughter, saying, "I don't force her to work out with me because I know that's lame."

They Love the Ballet

The two twinned in floral dresses at the American Ballet Theatre Spring Gala in May 2018.

They Love Their Snacks

The mother-daughter pair indulged in candy while taking in a basketball game in N.Y.C.

They're Seriously VIP

The pair's outing in December 2017 brought them to the N.Y.C. Z100 Jingle Ball stage to introduce none other than Taylor Swift.

They're Ladies Who Lunch

And ladies who laugh, too.

They Love Spending Time with Family

Katie and Suri joined their extended family to celebrate the star's sister's birthday — culminating in a sweet group snapshot.

They Visit Their Famous Friends Like It's NBD

Oh, you know, just casually visiting Tony winner Ben Platt backstage at Dear Evan Hansen. As one does.

Their Downtime Is Just as 'Gram-Worthy

Have girls' nights in ever looked this cute? Yes — if you're Katie and Suri.

They Love the Beach

The mother-daughter duo know the right way to ring in spring — with a beach day that included a sweet photo shoot.

They Have the Best Hair Days

Katie and Suri make hair care a priority by the looks of their Insta-worthy mother-daughter salon appointments.

They Love Making New Furry Friends

Photographic evidence Katie and Suri are super relatable: the two are never above a sweet cuddle sesh with a pup.

They Go to Basketball Games

The actress and her daughter showed off their sporty sides while attending a game between the Detroit Pistons and the Los Angeles Lakers.

They Hang with Other Cool Mothers and Daughters

Of course these two do mommy-and-me playdates better than everyone else! Katie and Suri met up with Hillary and Chelsea Clinton backstage at the presidential candidate's exclusive fundraiser in December 2015, where new mom Chelsea bonded with Suri (and, we assume, picked up some pint-sized style tips for daughter Charlotte).

They Take the Stage at Concerts

Katie and Suri joined the star-studded crew that included First Lady Michelle Obama, Beyoncé and Kerry Washington at the 2015 Global Citizen Festival in N.Y.C., where they waved to the Central Park crowd from on stage before Suri watched Mom speak.

Their Hugs are Contagious

Here's an embrace that would prompt us to buy a one-way ticket home to see Mom – even though we don't fit into her arms quite as perfectly as Suri does anymore.

They Hang with Mickey Mouse

If your childhood involved a trip (or two, or more – lucky you!) to the happiest place on earth, well, just consider it one of the many, many things you have in common with Suri Cruise. "Nothing like a day @disneyland #weareblessed," Holmes captioned the sweet snap from their summer outing.

They Dress Up Like No One's Watching

Multi-colored boas, oversized glasses, some major bling: Your typical Wednesday attire, no?

They Show the One Thing Every Girl's Party Needs

And that thing is lots and lots of mani-pedi color options. (Okay, so make that 5,839 things.)

Really, They're #GirlTime Experts

And that means Suri and Holmes don't even need a glam squad.

They Let Their Favorite Squad Members in on the Fun, Too

Oh, you know, just trying on fancy tutus and talking fashion with designer Zac Posen, who happens to be good friends with Holmes.

They Document Their Adorableness in an Adorable Way

Mother-daughter dates, no matter how high-profile or casual, are well documented on Holmes's Instagram. And this is the kind of picture we know they'll cherish forever.
