Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes' Daughter Suri Reportedly Drops 'Cruise' Surname

Public voter records show the 20-year-old Carnegie Mellon student now uses her mother Katie Holmes’ middle name as she starts college.

  • Suri Cruise, daughter of actor Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, has legally changed her surname to Noelle. The theater student, who previously omitted the "Top Gun" actor's name from her high school graduation program, currently attends Carnegie Mellon University.
  • According to a source, Suri adopted Noelle to build her "own identity" and "avoid the paparazzi" while "showing praise for her mother." This transition aligns with the path taken by Brad Pitt's children, marking her step into independent adulthood.
  • Voter records confirm the name shift, noting she registered in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, under Noelle during her freshman year in October 2024. The student discovered her passion for acting playing Morticia Addams in "The Addams Family: A New Musical."
  • Holmes expressed support for her daughter's transition, telling Town & Country she is "proud of my daughter." The actress acknowledged missing their proximity but celebrated this milestone as "this time of beginnings" for the college student.
  • Currently pursuing musical theater in Pittsburgh, the 20-year-old continues to chart her own course. She remains focused on her studies at Carnegie Mellon University, independent from the public scrutiny surrounding her famous parents.
