She also revealed that she was very “tomboyish” growing up and got her black belt because her father was also a black belt.
“He really treated me like a boy,” she added.
It is not known whether or not her parents still work in the medical field.
Dr. Normal Waterhouse is a reputed self-employed celebrity cosmetic surgeon with many references and acclaim in the field.
He graduated from the University of Birmingham in 1978.
Not much is known about his personal life since he avoids social media and is not featured on his daughter’s.
The same goes for Elizabeth Waterhouse.
She also keeps off social media and avoids the spotlight. Elizabeth did, however, attend Suki’s earlier events when she was getting into modeling as a teenager.
In 2016, the mother-daughter duo was spotted enjoying a boat ride in Venice.
In a humorous tweet, Suki shared a screenshot of her mother’s text disapproving of her “vaping cat” t-shirt.
“Elizabeth Waterhouse has spoken,” she wrote.
