We're crossing our fingers to the high heavens this is true! It's no secret that Tom Cruise has been estranged from his daughter Suri Cruise he shares with Katie Holmes. But all of that could be old news as outlets are reporting Tom Cruise wants to see Suri, and is doing whatever he can to make it happen.

It's inching up on six years (yes, six) since Tom and Suri have reportedly seen each other.-placeholder

It's inching up on six years (yes, six) since Tom and Suri have reportedly seen each other.

Us Weekly notes Tom and Suri haven't been photographed together in public together since 2012, the same year Katie and Tom divorced.

There's been whispers the celeb dad has been MIA due to Scientology.-placeholder

There's been whispers the celeb dad has been MIA due to Scientology.

"Tom is the fiercest Scientologist on the planet, but it's beyond heartbreaking to be forced to cut ties with your child," an unnamed source once told Star magazine about Tom not leaving Scientology for Suri. "Tom has reached the breaking point, and something has to give. If he wants her back, he'll have to walk away from the church, which has been a huge part of his life. Leaving Scientology would be the toughest decision he'll ever have to make!"

But that could all change soon.

"Tom is a loyal Scientologist, so when church leaders told him he couldn't see Suri, he didn't question it," an insider recently alleged to Star about Tom wanting to see Suri. "But Tom's tired of being bossed around by them. He's had to watch from afar as Suri grew into a lovely young lady, and he regrets that he's missed out on so much. He's dying to be a part of her life!"

It seems Suri turning 12 back in April made Tom realize how much he's missing out and wants change things.-placeholder

It seems Suri turning 12 back in April made Tom realize how much he's missing out and wants change things.

"That really tugged at Tom's heartstrings," the unnamed source continued to the publication about Tom Cruise missing his daughter. "It hit him that he hasn't been there to watch Suri blow out the candles for five years. That's when he started rounding up his lawyers to find a way to see her again. Given the enormous star power he brings to the [Scientology] church, he's got a lot of leverage there."

And as you might've guessed, Katie Holmes might have a few objections.-placeholder

And as you might've guessed, Katie Holmes might have a few objections.

"The word is that when she got divorced, [Katie] agreed to stay mum about the church as long as Tom didn't try to see Suri -- she didn't want him trying to brainwash her back into the fold," the insider revealed.

"She went berserk when she first learned about Tom's plans to meet up with Suri. But she's slowly warming up to the idea of a reunion. Suri must desperately be missing her dad, and in the end, Katie only wants what's best for her. Tom has assured her he won't bring his religion into it, and Katie is starting to believe him."

While there are outlets swearing up and down this report isn't true, we're hoping where there's smoke, there's fire.-placeholder

While there are outlets swearing up and down this report isn't true, we're hoping where there's smoke, there's fire.

Gossip Cop swears reports Tom wants to reunite with Suri are fake news. But let's face it, this outlet has been wrong crying wolf about celeb news in the past -- like blasting folks saying Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were headed for divorce only to find out it was actually true (LOL).

Given the craziness of the situation, we truly hope Tom is working to patch things up with his daughter.

... because not seeing her for five years is truly unacceptable.
