Tom Cruise’s daughter, who he shares with Katie Holmes, appears to display her new name in a playbill for her high school musical.
The offspring of Hollywood stars Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, Suri Cruise, who marked her 18th birthday on April 18 has been spotted rocking a casual look in NYC, per the Daily Mail.
Speculation is rife surrounding the dynamics of Suri’s relationship with her estranged father, Tom.
Despite Tom Cruise’s continued financial support, which includes provisions for Suri’s education and living expenses, sources suggest a noticeable disconnect between father and daughter.
According to TMZ, the renowned actor has committed to covering Suri’s college tuition and various additional costs, yet purported attempts to establish communication have reportedly been met with silence.
A source close to the family shed light on the situation, stating: “He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything.”

Speculation remains regarding the underlying reasons for this detachment, with some attributing it to the reported disapproval of the Church of Scientology by Holmes and Suri.
With a noticeable distance between father and daughter, a playbill for Suri’s high school musical obtained by Hello! Magazine has shed light on a new name for the Hollywood actor’s daughter.
It disclosed that Suri introduced herself as Suri Noelle in the playbill of her school’s rendition of The Go-Go’s jukebox musical, Head Over Heels.

Departing from her father’s surname, Suri adopted her mother’s middle name, signaling a subtle shift in identity.
In other Tom Cruise news, a photo was shared recently where he posed with two of his kids for the first time in 15 years.
The snapshot, taken by former NFL player Derrick Brooks in December 2023, resurfaced recently, causing a stir among fans and followers.
Sharing the image on Instagram, Brooks expressed his excitement: “Good Evening, Wow, look who stopped by my office before our [Tampa Bay Lightning] game tonight! @tomcruise.”
Describing the encounter, Brooks added: “I was a little star struck but played it cool and He said he was too!”

Bella, now 31, was adopted by the former couple in 1992, while Connor joined the family three years later.
Cruise and Kidman, who were married from 1990 to 2001, parted ways, but their bond as parents continues to attract attention, particularly regarding their children’s upbringing within the Church of Scientology.
