Despite Katie Holmes’ admiration for Angelina Jolie, both sides rejected the idea of a play date between Shiloh and Suri.
Given the status of their celebrity parents, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Suri Cruise-Holmes were thrust into the spotlight at a very young age.
As early as four, Suri was getting snapped by the paparazzi for carrying around a Starbucks coffee. The same held true for Shiloh, who remains in the spotlight these days, especially for her relationship to both parents, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
Given how similar their lives are, most would assume Shiloh and Suri hit it off. This would potentially be true, especially given the fact that Katie Holmes has lots of admiration for Angelina Jolie.
However, as we’ll reveal, that is not the case. We’re going to take a look at why Suri and Shiloh aren’t friends, and the reason a play date between the two was nixed by both parents.
Katie Holmes Is A Fan Of Angelina Jolie’s Work
There is a connection between Angelina Jolie and Katie Holmes. When thinking of the two, fans will always associate their high profile divorces, however, the connection is deeper than that, as Holmes is a big advocate for Jolie’s work on and off the screen.
The admiration for Jolie was especially apparent at the Teen Choice Awards, following Jolie’s impactful speech.
Jolie said when accepting her award, “I felt out of place — too loud, too full of fire, never good at sitting still, never good at fitting in. And then one day I realized something — something that I hope you all realize. Different is good. When someone tells you that you are different, smile and hold your head up and be proud”
She continued, “And as your villain, I would say: cause a little trouble; it’s good for you.”
Katie Holmes was on-hand for the speech, and was nothing but complimentary towards her counterpart.
”I’m such a fan of Angelina. I think she’s incredible in all aspects of her life,” Holmes said.
”I think she’s just an inspiration. And her speech just, you know, topped it off.”
Despite Katie Holmes’ strong feelings towards Jolie, their children haven’t interacted.
Despite Shiloh And Suri Being Close In Age, Their Parents Angelina Jolie And Katie Holmes Rejected The Idea Of A Play Day
Given how similar their situations are, most would assume Suri and Shiloh would be the closest of friends. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Suri has a close connection to her mom Katie, with some viewing the two as best friends living out in New York these days.
However, according to reports from inside sources, both parents nixed the idea of the two having a play date. It is said the idea was nixed due to the two having very little in common.
“A bunch of Angie and Katie’s mutual friends suggested they have play dates when their daughters were younger,” says a source. “But both politely declined. I think they knew then that Shi and Suri had nothing in common.”
Perhaps another reason for the nixed idea might’ve been due to the fact that it would cast yet another spotlight on both children.
Angelina is very private when it comes to matters dealing with her children, and she also has a long list of parenting rules, which have been well-documented by multiple tabloids in the past.
Angelina Jolie’s Parenting Methods Have Been Questioned Over The Years
Angelina Jolie’s parenting methods have been put into question throughout the years. It is said that lots of nannies quit, due to the amount of hours demanded. In addition, a nanny would reveal what life was like in the household. According to one of the nannies, the language wasn’t always the cleanest among the children.
“The Jolie-Pitt home is more chaotic than anyone could imagine — a place rife with fighting, four-letter words, and sibling squabbles and injuries,” the In Touch report writes.
“[Maddox] has dropped a few F-bombs,” while Zahara has been known to use “merde” in french, while always watching R-rated films, consuming nothing but junk food, and, in Maddox‘s case, drinking wine and driving the car around their property on certain occasions.”
Other tabloids would mention that Jolie had loose rules and the household was like a ‘hippie community’.
