Suri Cruise Drops Father's Name, Severing Ties
28 Jul
Summary
- Suri legally changed her surname to Noelle in New York.
- She chose 'Noelle' to honor her mother, Katie Holmes.
- Katie Holmes denied reports of Suri receiving a large trust fund.
Suri Noelle has officially changed her legal surname to Noelle, dropping her father Tom Cruise's last name. This significant change, legally processed in New York, reflects a prolonged estrangement between Suri and the Mission: Impossible star, which has spanned over a decade since Cruise's 2012 divorce from Katie Holmes.
As of July 27, 2026, voter registration records in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, confirm Suri's new identity as Suri Noelle. This surname change also appeared on her high school graduation materials from LaGuardia High School and in her professional endeavors.
The decision to adopt 'Noelle,' her mother Katie Holmes's middle name, underscores a deeper familial connection. Suri reportedly last appeared publicly with her father in April 2013, with sources indicating Cruise was the one who initiated the distance.
Furthermore, Katie Holmes has firmly denied media reports circulating on July 27, 2026, suggesting Suri received a massive trust fund from Tom Cruise upon turning 18. Holmes publicly dismissed these claims as "completely false" and "baseless," urging against the spread of misinformation.
