Suri Cruise's Bold Move: The Name Change That Shocks Everyone
Suri Cruise has officially severed ties with her estranged dad.
The 20-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes legally dropped Cruise and changed her last name to Noelle, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
Public records show Suri registered to vote in Pennsylvania — where she currently lives — in October 2024 during her freshman year at Carnegie Mellon University.
She registered in Allegheny County using the moniker Suri Noelle, indicating that is her legal name.
Pennsylvania courts confirmed to Page Six that residents must register to vote using their legal name.
We can also confirm Suri did not file a name change request in Allegheny County, suggesting that she may have done so in New York before she left for college.
Prior to moving to Pennsylvania, Suri lived with Holmes, 47, in New York, where name change requests are either automatically sealed or sealed upon request.
It’s unclear exactly when Suri Noelle became her legal moniker, but she’s been using it publicly for years.
Though the rising thespian hasn’t had a relationship with Tom, 64, for most of her life, she first made headlines for not using his surname in the ceremony pamphlet of her graduation from LaGuardia High School in June 2024.
At the time, a source told Page Six that Suri was “showing praise for her mother” by using Noelle — Holmes’ middle name — in such a significant way.
Our source also explained that the then-teen wanted to “avoid the paparazzi,” establish her “own identity” and “start fresh at college.”
Suri caught the acting bug in high school when she landed the lead role of Morticia Addams in “The Addams Family: A New Musical.” She is now studying musical theater in CMU’s school of drama, Page Six recently revealed.
In March, she portrayed the character Angel in “Cosmic Microwave Background,” a one-night-only staged reading at Pittsburgh’s New Hazlett Theater.
Later this week, she will star in “Midsummer!” — a modern take on William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” — alongside fellow CMU students at the Trust Arts Education Center’s Peirce Studio in Pittsburgh.
“Midsummer!” is slated to make its UK debut at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe next month.
Tom — a devout Scientologist — and Holmes welcomed their only child together in April 2006 before getting married seven months later.
After the “Top Gun” franchise star and the “Dawson’s Creek” star divorced in August 2012, Suri stayed with her mom, who has admitted in recent years that they “kind of grew up together.”
Reps for Tom and Holmes did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
