Tom Cruise is rumored to have not seen Suri for two years because of his belief in Scientology.

The "Mission Impossible" actor is said to have not seen his daughter for a long time due to pressure from church leaders.

The National Enquirer reported on November 26th that Tom Cruise is trying to keep his distance from his ex-wife, Katie Holmes, and daughter, Suri, after their divorce. The reason for this decision is believed to be influenced by the Scientology faith. To date, it has been over two years (26 months or 800 days) since Tom Cruise last saw his 9-year-old daughter.

A source said: "He doesn't seem interested in being a part of Suri's daily life. Katie tries her best to give her daughter the best, but nothing can replace a father. For over two years, Tom hasn't seen his daughter."

For a long time, even before divorcing Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise rarely took photos with his daughter. It was reported that Katie disagreed with Tom Cruise's chosen religion because the leaders of Scientology wanted the actor to keep his distance from his wife.

This summer, Tom Cruise was promoting the film Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation in New York. He was very close to his daughter at the time, but there was no reunion with Suri.

Marc Headley, a former Scientology follower, said: "It's possible Tom didn't want to meet Suri because he thought Katie and her family would speak ill of him and Scientology."

Tom Cruise's representatives denied the allegations, stating that Tom does spend time with his daughter but avoids media scrutiny, and that these meetings are usually kept private.

Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise on June 29, 2012 – five days before the actor's birthday. Katie also requested full custody of their daughter, Suri, with Tom only allowed visitation rights. Many at the time believed Katie Holmes made this decision to free herself and her daughter from the Scientology cult. After the divorce, Katie was often seen with Suri, taking her to school and out with her friends.
