Suri Cruise, the daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, recently turned eighteen and made a major life decision. She decided to change her last name, distancing herself from her father’s surname, Cruise. Suri now goes by Suri Noelle, adopting her mother’s middle name, Noelle.
This name change was revealed during her performance in the Broadway musical “Head Over Heels,” where she played Princess Philoclea.
A Stroll Through New York City
After the announcement of her name change, Suri was spotted walking through New York City. She wore a pink blouse and white pants, listening to music through her headphones. Suri looked carefree and happy with her new identity.
Birth Certificate Oddities
Suri’s original birth certificate lists her as Suri Cruise, but it has some peculiar details. Filed 20 days after her birth on May 8, 2006, the certificate wasn’t signed by a parent or an authorized signatory. Instead, a “friend” signed it, though the signature is unreadable. Anne Heffernan, RNC, signed as the “Attendant or Certifier,” even though she wasn’t present at the birth.

Freedom to Speak Out
Now that Suri is an adult, she has the legal freedom to talk about personal matters, including her relationship with her father and his Scientology beliefs. Tony Ortega, a veteran Scientology researcher, noted, “Suri can now speak freely if she chooses to.”
Strained Relationship with Tom Cruise
Suri’s relationship with her father has been strained for the past three years. They have been apart even during significant events like Suri’s birthday. While Suri celebrated in New York, Tom was filming “Mission Impossible 8” in London, smiling for the cameras.
Social Media Buzz
Tom Cruise’s appearance has sparked reactions on social media, with comments about his grandfatherly look and changing hair color. Meanwhile, Suri, seen out in New York on her birthday, received comments about her striking resemblance to her mother, Katie Holmes.
Close Bond with Katie Holmes
Katie Holmes and Suri share a very close and strong bond. Katie has always prioritized Suri’s upbringing and well-being. In 2017, she stated, “My child is the most important person in my life.” Their relationship is a testament to their enduring mother-daughter connection.
Protecting Suri from Scientology
Actress Leah Remini believed that Tom Cruise planned to introduce Suri to Scientology when she turned fourteen. However, Katie’s decision to leave Tom and Scientology was seen as a move to protect Suri.
Leah praised Katie, saying, “She prioritized her daughter’s well-being.”
Looking Forward
Former Scientology spokesman Mike Rinder emphasized that Suri is not and will never be a Scientologist. He stated, “Suri deserves compassion and love.”
Katie Holmes continues to be a loving and supportive mother, helping Suri navigate her journey toward independence and adulthood.
