Katie Holmes, 38, and daughter Suri Cruise, ten, have made a rare appearance out and about on a mummy-daughter date at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game on Sunday, January 15.

The duo were all smiles as they sat close to the action, glued to the pace of the game.

With their wide smiles and deep chestnut hair fans have been quick to point out just how similar little Suri looks to her beautiful mum.

Keeping the affair laid back, the Dawson’s Creek alum chose to wear a pair of cropped blue jeans, a sheer black top with lace applique and a simple pair of runners.

On the other hand, Suri’s penchant for fashion was out in full force as she matched the rose-pink of her hair bow to her cardigan and floral tea dress. She also chose to carry a beige, patent-leather bag.

The duo share a laugh courtside.

Suri was dressed in a pretty pink ensemble for the game, while Katie rocked jeans and sneakers.

The actress added some fashion flair to her outfit with a sheer long-sleeved top.

Although Katie has shared a few of Suri’s major milestones with the public, including a glimpse into one of her birthday parties, the smiling duo are rarely seen in public and instead choose to lead a very private life out of the spotlight.

Katie shares daughter Suri with ex-husband Tom Cruise however, Suri is rarely – if ever – seen with her father.

Suri made headlines last year after she was reportedly caught making secret phone calls to her dad.

The youngster isn’t often spotted out with her dad Tom.

At the time a source revealed to Star magazine that, “Suri has been talking to Tom behind Katie’s back. He looks forward to her texts.”

Suri is reportedly not allowed to speak to her father publicly because of his position in the Scientology community.

The source added that “Katie is very concerned about Suri being brainwashed; that’s why she wanted to monitor every conversation.”

“She’s well aware of how powerful Scientology is, and she doesn’t want Tom luring Suri away from her. It’s a constant fear.”

The source added: “It’s not surprising that Suri is confused by the lack of communication between her parents.”

“She’s growing up, asking more questions and it’s becoming harder to shield her from the whispers. She wants to speak to her dad.”

While her relationship with her father remains the subject of much intrigue, in 2008 Tom proudly told Oprah that Suri was the centre of his universe.

It’s unknown when Tom and Suri last saw each other.
