Katie Holmes shares sweet birthday message as daughter Suri turns 14

Suri Cruise - the daughter of Hollywood stars Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise - celebrated her 14th birthday yesterday, and her mom took to social media to share a heartwarming message with her fans, along with a pic of the rarely seen teen.

The actress took to Instagram to share celebrations for her daughter, writing to her 2 million followers: "Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!!!!!! I am so blessed to be your mom. May this year be incredible!"

In another snap, 41-year-old Holmes - who rarely posts any pictures of her daughter - shared a pic of Suri from behind as she celebrated her special day, captioned: "Birthday vibes"

In the snap, Suri can be seen sitting at a table while she wears a flowery head garland.

Earlier this year, Holmes spoke with InStyle about her relationship with her daughter, saying: "I love her so much. My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality, to make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident and able. And to know it."

The doting mom then explained how Suri is no stranger to hard work when it comes to achieving her goals, saying:

"She came out very strong - she’s always been a strong personality. She'll pick an activity and work her butt off until she's really good at it. Then she's like, 'OK, I'm going to try the next thing.'"

Holmes also spoke about her love of crafting (just check out that birthday banner), and explained how she has always tried to inspire her daughter to enjoy getting arty. She said:

"I've always wanted Suri to feel empowered [in that way] too. I remember asking her what kind of party she wanted for her fourth or fifth birthday, and she said a fairy party. So we went to the fabric store and picked out everything we needed for fairies. I wanted her to create things instead of having stuff done for her. That way she was always in charge."

We would like to wish a happy birthday to Suri! We hope it was a great day!
