Tom Cruise’s daughter
Tom’s 18-year-old daughter Suri dropped his last name when she entered college. She’s enrolled at Carnegie Mellon University. Suri is the daughter of Tom and his ex-wife and actor Katie Holmes. They split up in 2012 after being married for six years. As part of their divorce agreement, Tom paid Katie $400,000 annually until their daughter turned 18. He also agreed to cover her college expenses.

However, Suri isn’t particularly close to her father. They haven’t been spotted together in the past decade. Now that she’s in college, Suri has decided to drop ‘Cruise’ from her name in favour of her mother’s middle name ‘Noelle.’ She’s enlisted in college under that name. Meanwhile, as his daughter goes to college, Tom is busy filming for the next instalment of his popular spy thriller Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning. Katie will be next seen in Knives Out, director Rian Johnson’s crime comedy show Poker Face.
