Suri Cruise honors mom with new name

In a heartfelt tribute to her mother Katie Holmes, Suri Cruise has dropped her famed last name amid her estrangement from her father, Tom Cruise. The teenager, now known as Suri Noelle, recently graduated from high school, with her new moniker reflecting solidarity with her mother. Sources reveal that Tom Cruise has had minimal involvement in Suri's life for around a decade, with his only contribution being financial support. The decision to change her name further emphasizes the distance between father and daughter. Katie Holmes, known for her role in Dawson's Creek, is reportedly overwhelmed at the thought of sending her daughter off to college, despite being proud of Suri's academic achievements. The couple's marriage, which ended in 2012, was reportedly strained due to concerns about raising Suri as a Scientologist, a religion Tom Cruise is deeply devoted to. Reports suggest that Katie feared the implementation of a 'disconnection' policy within the Church of Scientology, which could potentially keep her away from her daughter. Tom Cruise, a prominent figure in Hollywood known for his roles in Mission Impossible and Top Gun, has not been seen in public with Suri for several years. The last public outing with his daughter was in 2012, shortly before his divorce from Katie Holmes was finalized. Suri's decision to omit her father's name from her latest milestone event underscores the strained relationship between the father-daughter duo. Despite the lack of public appearances together, sources indicate that Suri is growing into a smart and mature young woman under the guidance of her mother.
