Purple roses are often associated with enchantment, love at first sight, and deep admiration—making them a meaningful choice for the occasion and a touching expression of Suri’s affection for her mom. Their unique hue conveys a sense of elegance and sophistication, making them a popular choice for expressing admiration or celebrating something extraordinary.
Purple roses are also linked to royalty and opulence, adding a regal touch to any occasion.

Holmes and her daughter have shared an exceptionally close bond over the years. The actress raised Suri after her divorce from Tom Cruise in 2012, following six years of marriage. In a 2019 interview, Holmes reflected on their unique relationship, saying that she and Suri “kind of grew up together.”
The two are often seen enjoying quality time in New York City, whether taking casual strolls or attending events together. Suri, now a freshman at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University, continues to make her mother proud. Holmes was present for several major milestones in her daughter’s life this year, including her graduation from LaGuardia High School in June and moving to her college dorm in August.

The days when Suri Cruise was a little girl are long behind her. The daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes is now in college, and her relationships and heartbreaks are making headlines. When her parents separated in 2012, Suri moved with her mother to New York, leading a relatively quiet life despite being the child of Hollywood stars. Following the divorce, Katie Holmes has balanced her professional commitments while primarily raising her daughter. Although neither parent has made any public statements regarding their situation, it is widely speculated that there has been no contact between father and daughter for many years.

After the separation, Tom focused on his career, and little has been known about his romantic life since the breakup. Rumors suggest that Scientology may have played a role in both the divorce and the estrangement between Tom and Suri.

In December 2024, the star made a rare statement regarding her daughter. The actress and filmmaker shared an Instagram post addressing media outlets, asking them to stop spreading misinformation about her daughter and finances. Holmes shared a screenshot of an article from The Daily Mail, claiming that Suri was a "millionaire" because she has access to her father Tom Cruise's trust fund. “Suri Cruise the millionaire! Tom Cruise’s trust fund has ‘kicked in,’ and mom Katie Holmes has one for her too," read the headline.
"Completely false," wrote Holmes over the post. "Daily Mail you can stuff making stuff up now."

"We have your back! Love you!" wrote actor John McGinty.
