Katie Holmes celebrates daughter Suri turning 15 – and we feel incredibly old

It only seems like yesterday that Katie Holmes gave birth in 2006 to her first child with Tom Cruise just months after the couple got engaged.

But fast forward to 2021 and, while a lot has changed between actress Katie, 42, and her Mission Impossible star ex Tom, 58, she is still a doting mother to Suri, who was definitely one of the most famous celebrity babies of the decade.

Katie paid tribute to her not-so-little-anymore girl on Monday as she turned 15 – and we can’t believe she’s that old already!

Hollywood star Katie shared a number of pictures of herself and Suri on Instagram to mark the occasion.

In one snap Suri can be seen enjoying a party with friends when much younger as she peered at a pal.

In another her mother can be seen giving her a hug as she rests her head on her shoulder.

And in one more Suri can be seen squeezing her famous parent with a broad grin across her face.

Katie captioned the images: ‘Happy 15th Birthday Sweetheart! I love you!!!!!!!! I can’t believe you are already 15!’

The celebratory post comes after Katie was the subject of her own special birthday message last December when her boyfriend Emilio Vitolo Jr shared a picture making them Instagram official.

The couple were first linked last September and chef Emilio declared his love for Dawson’s Creek star Katie on her birthday.

Taking to Instagram at the time, he shared a black and white photograph of himself and the actress.

Katie was sat on his lap and looked back at the 33-year-old with a huge smile on her face.

Emilio captioned the image: ‘The most amazing, kindest, beautiful person ❤️. Every time I see your face it makes me smile. Happy Birthday!!! I love you!!’

Katie had not previously spoken about their relationship but it seems the coronavirus pandemic has enabled the couple to grow even closer.

A source recently told People: ‘Since Katie is not working, they have had time to really get to know each other.

‘Emilio thinks their relationship will continue to be strong in the new year.

‘When things return to a more normal and Katie is working again, they will figure it out. For now, they enjoy all their time together in New York City.’
