Tom Cruise's only biological child has made a quiet but clear change on paper. Voter records reviewed by People show that 20-year-old Suri has legally swapped her last name from Cruise to Noelle, the middle name of her mother, Katie Holmes. The Carnegie Mellon University student registered to vote in Pennsylvania's Allegheny County in October 2024 under the name "Suri Noelle," according to the outlet.

She'd already used the name at her high school graduation in June 2024, though it's not clear when the move became official, notes Page Six. The aspiring actress is not believed to have had much contact with her famous father as an adult. Suri has largely stayed out of the spotlight, with a rare appearance visiting Holmes on the New York City set of the film Happy Hours in 2025.
