Suri Cruise legally changes surname to Noelle while attending Carnegie Mellon

Suri Cruise, the 20-year-old daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, has legally changed her surname, according to public records cited by Page Six. Voter registration data from Pennsylvania shows she is now listed as Suri Noelle, a name she has been using for her theater and musical work since graduating from LaGuardia High School in June 2024. The student is currently in her sophomore year at Carnegie Mellon University, where she is studying musical theater and appears in a student production of a modern adaptation of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

The name change appears to have been filed before she moved to Pennsylvania, likely in New York City, as no Pennsylvania name-change petition was found. Suri has not been publicly seen with her father, Tom Cruise, for several years, and Holmes obtained sole custody after their 2021 divorce. Cruise was absent from Suri's high school graduation, attending a concert in London instead.

In addition to her studies, Suri has contributed vocals to two of Holmes's recent films, "Alone Together" (2022) and "Rare Objects" (2023).
