Suri Cruise was spotted enjoying a Brooklyn coffee run as she returned to her mother Katie Holmes in New York City for Thanksgiving break on Sunday.
The 18-year-old, whose father is global movie star Tom Cruise, is currently studying at the prestigious arts university Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh.
Tom is reportedly sending money for her tuition, but he has not been seen with his daughter in more than a decade amid claims of an estrangement.
However Suri enjoys a warm bond with Katie, whom she was seen visiting in the Big Apple just last month during her fall break from college.
Now the showbiz legacy is back in the city that never sleeps to ring in the start of the holiday season with her mother on Thursday.
She found time for a solo outing in the outer boroughs on Wednesday, surfacing in Brooklyn in a cozy outfit including a thick olive green anorak.

Katie was spotted that same day heading to Broadway’s Ethel Barrymore Theatre, where she is continuing her run in a revival of Our Town.
The classic play by Thornton Wilder originally opened in 1938, and has now been mounted with a cast including Jim Parsons and Zoey Deutch.
When she was spotted strolling to work on Thursday, Katie demonstrated her reliably winning street style, wrapping a sleek black coat over a sweater with an extravagant collar.
Her revival of Our Town opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre last month and has been met with a lukewarm reaction from the critical fraternity.
Suri began college this fall after graduating from New York’s famous LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts earlier this year.
The high school, which was said to have inspired the movie Fame, has churned out a formidable array of celebrities over the years.
Notable alumni range from Al Pacino and Liza Minnelli to Jennifer Aniston and Adrien Brody to newer faces like Ansel Elgort and Timothee Chalamet.
Having graduated high school, Suri is now living in Pittsburgh and attending Carnegie Mellon, where she is said to be ‘leaning towards’ studying fashion.

Tom and Katie’s wedding was held at the Castello Orsini-Odescalchi in Bracciano in November 2006, seven months after Suri was born; the trio are pictured at the rehearsal dinner
‘She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature young woman,’ an insider recently revealed to DailyMail.com. ‘She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from.’
Suri’s mother on the other hand was said to be ‘overwhelmed’ at the prospect of her moving away. ‘Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective,’ a source shared.
Katie, who shot to fame on the teen drama Dawson’s Creek, started dating Tom in 2005 and got engaged to him seven weeks into the relationship.
Their Scientologist wedding was held at the Castello Orsini-Odescalchi in Bracciano in November 2006, seven months after Suri was born.
Katie filed in 2012 for a divorce that was finalized just 10 days later, with Katie retaining primary custody of Suri while Tom was granted visitation, via People.
Ron Miscavige, father of Scientology leader David Miscavige, told the MailOnline in 2016 that Katie’s misgivings about Scientology – including the effect it could have on Suri – contributed to her decision to leave Tom.
The Top Gun Maverick star reportedly paid Katie $400,000 a year until Suri’s 18th birthday, and will now send money for her college fees.
Tom has not been pictured with his daughter in 11 years, and in 2018 it was alleged that he had created distance between himself and Suri.
‘Every person is allowed to see their child if they wanted to,’ an insider told Us Weekly. ‘He chooses not to because she is not a Scientologist.’
