Katie Holmes is being supported amid her Broadway comeback by her daughter Suri Cruise.
The 45-year-old actress had the 18-year-old with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, 62, before they divorced in 2012 after six years of marriage, and the teen has now been spotted back in New York after starting her first semester at the private Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the summer.
DailyMail.com has reported the teen has been spotted in the city days after the actress started her run in a star-studded revival of ‘Our Town’.
The acclaimed 1938 play by Thornton Wilder is being revived on Broadway with a cast also featuring actors Jim Parsons and Zoey Deutch.
An insider recently told the Mail about Suri’s early days at college: “She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature young woman.
“She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from.”
Another source said Suri’s mother was “overwhelmed” at the prospect of Suri being away from home.
They added: “Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely over-protective.”
Tom Cruise is said to be paying Suri’s annual university tuition on $65,000.
A source previously told DailyMail.com: “Tom is indeed paying for Suri’s tuition – he has always paid for her schooling and would never stop as he is a stand-up guy.
“He has never hesitated paying his daughter’s child support and expenses. He does not go back on his word. He is fulfilling his obligation.”
The Mail highlighted how Tom and Katie’s divorce deal included a clause he should cover all of Suri’s schooling, with divorce documents revealing the 62-year-old star pays expenses for the teen including “medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs”.
