It's rumored Cruise may leave so that he's able to see his daughter again. Star reports Scientologists could harm Cruises' reputation should he separate himself from the organization because they collect information on their members during audit session. In these sessions, Scientologists are forced to reveal secrets. An insider told the publication:

Katie would be thrilled to see Tom leave Scientology, she would love to have him build a healthy relationship with Suri. It'd be a dream come true actually, but she is not expecting it. She has zero hope Tom will leave Scientology for Suri — he has made it clear many times that he is in it for life ... People change, and they leave, so it is possible Tom will walk away, but it is very slim, and she knows it. It breaks Katie's heart Suri does not have a relationship with Tom, there is a hole in her life because of it — he's missed.
