Tom Cruise lands copter, Katie Holmes drops Suri off at college

Tom Cruise spent some time cruising the wide-open skies of London while his ex-wife Katie Holmes returned home from dropping their daughter, Suri Cruise, off at college.
After pulling off an epic stunt to help close out the 2024 Paris Olympics, Tom spent a week vacationing around the Mediterranean.
Page Six obtained photos of the actor, 62, landing a helicopter at London Battersea Heliport on Sunday following his getaway.
For the solo arrival, Tom sported a white golf shirt, black jeans and white sneakers, completing his outfit with a black baseball cap and matching sunglasses hung from his collar.

The “Mission: Impossible” star flashed a smile from the cockpit while wearing a headset to land the chopper.
Once on the ground, he was seen walking off the tarmac with a black backpack in tow.
Meanwhile, across the pond, Holmes spent the weekend moving Suri into her dorm at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
The 18-year-old will begin classes next Monday, according to the school’s website.

We obtained pictures of Holmes, 45, arriving back to her New York City residence on Monday with a large travel tote and a smaller shopping bag in hand.
The new empty nester wore gray sweatpants, a cream-colored sweatshirt, a black baseball cap and matching flats.
While Suri is estranged from her Scientologist father, she is extremely close to her mother.
Though Holmes admittedly will miss her baby girl, she said in an interview last week that she is beaming with pride.

“Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her, and I’m happy,” she told Town & Country.
The actress went on to reflect on her own experience of attending Columbia University and how transformative it was for her, noting that she wishes the same for Suri.
“I remember being this age, this time of beginnings,” she explained. “It’s exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that.”
The “Dawson’s Creek” alum admitted that she has thrown herself into creative pursuits to keep busy now that her daughter is starting college.

“The members of my book club are going to get annoyed hearing from me,” she said with a laugh. “I’ll be like, ‘Let’s meet once a week.’”
As for Tom, he has missed the majority of his youngest child’s milestones.
In fact, in June, the Golden Globe winner was seen deplaning a helicopter alongside his son, Connor Cruise, 29, in London after skipping Suri’s graduation from LaGuardia High School in NYC.
Tom shares Connor and daughter Isabella “Bella” Cruise, 31, with his second wife, Nicole Kidman. He was previously married to Mimi Rogers.
