Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes divorced in 2012 after five years of marriage - with the actress retaining custody of their daughter Suri.
Now comes word that the 53-year-old Top Gun star has not 'seen or spoken to Suri in 1,000 days,' according to an article in the current issue of In Touch Weekly.
Sources point to Tom's adherence to Scientology as the reason for the severance of ties with his only biological child, who is now 10 years old.
The publication claims that Tom last saw Suri more than two and a half years ago, and that he hasn't spoken to his daughter on the phone since then either.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Cruise's representative for comment.
'They used to Skype and text, but that trailed off drastically,' a source told In Touch Weekly of Tom and Suri.
According to the magazine, Cruise 'uses his film commitments as an excuse.'
Indeed, Tom has maintained a rigorous shooting schedule and put out at least one film every year since his divorce from Katie including Rock Of Ages and Jack Reacher in 2012, Oblivion in 2013, Edge Of Tomorrow in 2014 and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation in 2015
The A-list actor is currently filming The Mummy in London, England, and he has two films in post-production, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back and the crime-thriller Mena, and three more films announced including Top Gun 2, M:I 6 - Mission Impossible and Luna Park.
He is busy, to be sure, but the source says 'that doesn’t hold much weight with Suri anymore.'
In Touch Weekly's insider claims Scientology’s 'disconnection' policy is at work here.
Members are told to shun any friend, family member or colleague who is thought to be critical of Scientology, as the magazine reported.
'Tom eats, breathes and sleeps Scientology,' the source told In Touch Weekly. 'He’s disconnected from Katie, and then de facto from Suri, because of her connection to Katie. He hasn’t seen her since she was seven.'
Tom is also parent to daughter Isabella, 23, and son Conner, 21, both adopted with his former wife Nicole Kidman but raised primarily by Cruise after their divorce in 2001.
In May, Tom sold the sprawling Beverly Hills mansion he once shared with Katie Holmes and their daughter Suri.
The star bid adieu to the seven-bedroom, 10,000 square foot home for $40 million,TMZ reported.
Katie, on the hand, has been described as an 'amazing' mom by In Touch Weekly's sources.
Katie has often shared touching photos of her and daughter on Instagram.
On April 18, Suri's 10th birthday, mother and daughter enjoyed a relaxed hand-in-hand stroll in New York City with the birthday girl dressed up in a pink dress, pink bow and pink ballet slippers.
The actress is currently in Toronto, Canada shooting The Kennedys: After Camelot, in which she plays Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
