Suri finally gets some playmates... as she enjoys a visit to the museum with new friends and mum Katie Holmes

Life continues as normal for Tom Cruise's daughter Suri in the wake of her parents' split and she certainly seems oblivious to the drama as mum Katie Holmes keeps her busy in New York.
A playdate to the museum proved a welcome distraction for the six-year-old who is rarely seen with other children.
But that all seems set to change, as after celebrating the Fourth of July in their new home in New York with Katie's parents Martin and Kathleen, Suri and some new friends went to the Children's Museum of the Arts and later enjoyed a visit to cafe Alice's Tea Cup.

Thrillingly for the little girl she was joined by some children and their mothers, believed to be friends of the family on the outing.

It was in stark contrast to Suri's 5th birthday celebration when she was seen celebrating at a table surrounded by her much older siblings and adults.

 

While she clearly had plenty of presents to unwrap, she didn't seem to have any playmates close to her age to marvel at her birthday treats.
