Katie Holmes had nothing but praise for her daughter Suri’s singing in the new film “Alone Together,” which was directed by and stars Holmes.
“I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her,” the “Dawson’s Creek” actress said of Suri’s involvement in the project during a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment.
According to Yahoo, the 16-year-old sings a cover of “Blue Moon” that plays at the beginning of the romantic comedy during the opening credits. “Alone Together” follows two people (played by Holmes and costar Jim Sturgess) in failing relationships who end up at the same Airbnb during the coronavirus lockdown.
“She’s very, very talented,” Holmes gushed of the daughter she shares with ex Tom Cruise. “She said she would do it and she recorded it.”
“I let her do her thing. That’s the way I direct, in general,” the “First Daughter” star added in the interview.

Suri is the only daughter of Holmes and Cruise. The couple first met in 2005 and welcomed their baby girl in spring 2006. Later that same year, they tied the knot in Italy.
However, after five-and-a-half years of marriage, Holmes filed for divorce from Cruise in late June 2012. The “Top Gun: Maverick” star was reportedly caught off guard by the split, but after only 11 days, the couple reached a settlement which gave Holmes primary custody of Suri.
Suri and Holmes now live together in New York City.
