Katie Holmes Treats Daughter Suri to Paris for Birthday, But Insider Says the Girl Is Far from a Spoiled Brat

When you are a parent, you would do your very best to celebrate your child’s birthday as awesome as you can be it renting a whole video arcade for the event or throwing a big bash at your house. For Katie Holmes, that means taking her daughter Suri Cruise to Paris for her 13^th birthday – we bet she’s receiving the Mother of the Year Award!

Simple Celebration

Welcoming your 13th nowadays, you probably wish you’re going to get an iPhone X or XR or XS Max or a MacBook, after all, you only turn 13 once. But for “Dawson’s Creek” alum Katie, the experience could be the best gift she could ever give her daughter and two lucky friends who were treated on an escapade. But before they jetted off to Europe on April 18, the little girl’s actual birthday, they had dinner at the Big Apple’s Sant Ambroeus restaurant.

Jetting Off to France

Then they flew to France and the following evening, the mother-and-daughter duo along with two friends of Suri had a birthday dinner at Les Ombres, a rooftop restaurant that provides not just food, but a stunning view as well of the Eiffel Tower.

According to Closer, a French tabloid, the group arrived at the place at 8 p.m. A 90-minute dinner consisted of caviar tasting and non-alcoholic mojitos. Of course, selfies wouldn’t be forgotten in this ever scenic place.

It may also be the time for Katie to relax as she was spotted wearing a white blouse and black slacks as she sipped white wine, while the girls who wore adorably floral dresses enjoyed the place and went to the rooftop a couple of times in between courses. For dessert, caramel fondant with a birthday candle was served. Because it is better to give than to receive, the group gave a $100-tip to their waitress before they left.

After spending the weekend in Paris, the group was photographed touching down in New York with all smiles. Katie arrived in a red and blue flannel top tucked in loose jeans while the girls opt to ride in comfort by wearing seemingly matching pink pajamas because why not? It also goes to show that the mother is raising her child to be as true to herself as she can be.

Not a Spoiled Brat

You might think that Suri is a spoiled brat because of the Paris getaway, but according to a source, who has worked with Katie, the child is far from that and is exactly the opposite of it. The insider described the beautiful young lady as well-mannered and down-to-earth, thanks to what the mom taught her. Furthermore, the 13-year-old reportedly always shows gratitude and kindness, not like other celebrity kids nowadays.

Well, how did Katie train Suri to be so respectful and grounded? The insider said this was partly credited to the times the “Ray Donovan” actress brought along her child to travel via commercial planes and not private rides. The insider continued that the girl is far from a diva and enjoys what other children are doing like ballet, listening to pop music, and hanging out with pals.
