Suri is 20 years old and has just made a decision she had been quietly building toward for some time: she legally removed the Cruise surname and now goes by Suri Noelle, in honor of her mother Katie Holmes’s middle name. 🎓

It is not a recent whim. She was already using that name at her graduation, and it appears that way in the records of Carnegie Mellon University, where she currently studies. Since her parents’ divorce in 2012, Suri and Tom Cruise have not been in contact, and this choice seems to symbolically close that distance. 💔

While Cruise does maintain a relationship with his adopted children, Connor and Isabella, everything indicates that his bond with Suri ended there. A name can be just a word, or it can be the most honest way of saying whom you chose as family. 🤍
