Suri Cruise, the 20-year-old daughter of actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, has legally changed her last name and officially distanced herself from her father. Public records indicate that she now goes by Suri Noelle, a change reflected in her voter registration in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where she is attending Carnegie Mellon University.
Suri registered to vote under the name Suri Noelle in October 2024, during her freshman year at the university. Court officials in Pennsylvania confirmed that voter registration requires the use of a person’s legal name. However, she has not filed a name change petition in Allegheny County, suggesting the legal process was completed elsewhere, likely in New York, where she lived with her mother, Katie Holmes, prior to enrolling in college.
The name change signals a clear break from her father, Tom Cruise, with whom she has been reported to have a distant relationship for several years. No public statements have been released by Suri, Tom Cruise, or Katie Holmes regarding the name change or the reasons behind it.
