Suri Cruise, 20, the daughter of Hollywood star Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes, has officially changed her last name to Noelle, which is her mother’s middle name. This change was revealed through voter registration records filed in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, in October 2024.
The name change aligns with Suri’s public appearances, as she had already used the surname Noelle during her high school graduation in June 2024. That milestone happened while her father was notably absent, attending a concert in London the same weekend.
Family Background and Public Appearances
- Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes married in 2006 and divorced in 2012.
- Suri has largely been raised by her mother since the split.
- In August 2025, Suri was seen visiting Katie Holmes on a New York City film set, highlighting their close relationship.
Katie Holmes' Support and Financial Clarifications
Katie Holmes has expressed pride in her daughter’s growth and independence. In an August 2024 interview, she reflected warmly on Suri’s transition into adulthood.
Holmes has also publicly refuted claims that Suri accessed a trust fund from Tom Cruise upon turning 18, describing such reports as false.
Suri’s decision to adopt her mother’s middle name underscores her personal identity and the strong maternal bonds that have shaped her upbringing.
