Tom Cruise cuts ties with his daughter.

Many relatives claim that Tom Cruise has not called or seen his children, citing work commitments as the reason.

On August 17th, Us Weekly quoted a family source of the 54-year-old actor as saying, "Tom Cruise hasn't called Suri in three years." Another source alleged, "Tom has no relationship with Suri."

This isn't the first time Tom Cruise has been criticized for not contacting his children. A source told In Touch Weekly in June: "They used to talk via Skype, text... but the frequency decreased. Tom Cruise used filming and promoting movies as an excuse not to see his children."

The reason Tom Cruise cut ties with his daughter is believed to be due to the Scientology religion. According to former Scientology members who recently spoke to Us Weekly, members of the sect's leadership are forced to distance themselves from anyone outside the faith.

However, Tom Cruise's religious representative explained: "We never interfere in the lives of our parishioners. Scientology respects each person's faith and relationships. Scientology does not force parishioners to cut ties with non-believers, friends, or family."

Tom Cruise's representatives have not yet commented on the matter.

The meeting between Tom Cruise and Suri in August 2012 at Disney Park, Florida – before the divorce proceedings were finalized – is considered one of the most recent times the father and daughter were together.

Katie Holmes wanted her daughter to stay away from Scientology, so she broke up with Tom Cruise.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise began dating in the spring of 2005 and became engaged that summer. They welcomed Suri in April 2006 and held a wedding ceremony in Italy with 150 guests at the end of 2006. In 2012, Katie Holmes filed for divorce. Sources told Us Weekly at the time that Katie Holmes did not want her daughter Suri to grow up and attend a Scientology school. Since the divorce, Katie Holmes and her daughter have lived separately and away from the hustle and bustle of showbiz.
