In November 2013, during a deposition in his 50-million court battle against a pair of tabloid magazines,Tom admittedthat Katie had filed for divorce “to protect Suri from Scientology.”
That year,he also claimedthat he had “in no way” cutSuriout of his life, “whether physically, emotionally, financially, or otherwise.”

ThoughTown & Countrymentioned rumors that Suri would pursue a career in fashion or acting, Katie chose not to reveal what her daughter would study.
Instead, she focused on how she would occupy her time once her daughter moved to Pittsburgh.
“The members of my book club are going to get annoyed hearing from me,” the 45-year-old said. “I’ll be like, ‘Let’s meet once a week.'”

She added that dancing and painting, her other artistic interests, would also keep her busy.
“I love a dance studio because every time you enter, you’re starting from the beginning, and that’s a good, meditative way to approach the day.”Rugilė Žemaitytė
