However, the 18-year-old has reportedly been estranged from her father since she was a little girl.
Instead, she has been raised by her mom in New York and they've developed an incredibly close mother-daughter bond.
Speaking to InStyle in 2022, Katie talked about Suri and her strong personality when she said: "I love her so much. My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality. To make sure she is 100 per cent herself and strong, confident, and able. And to know it."
Suri appears to have inherited her parents' talents for performing and made her film debut when she sang the opening credits of Katie's film, when she was 15.
When asked why she chose Suri for the job, the actress and director sweetly told Yahoo! Entertainment: "I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her."
Katie then added: "She's very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it.
"I let her do her thing. That's the way I direct, in general."
Suri is not believed to have any sort of relationship with Tom's two other children, Bella and Connor, who he adopted with his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, either.
However, the Top Gun actor featured in a rare moment with them at a hockey game recently. The joyful image resurfaced online after being posted by NFL star Derrick Brooks.
It showed Tom enjoying a night with Bella and Connor who he has maintained a strong bond with over the years.
They were raised in the Church of Scientology, a path also followed by their famous dad.
