Suri Cruise Turns 18 and Changes Her Name
Suri Cruise, daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, has turned 18 and chosen to change her name. Suri decided not to use her father’s last name, reflecting her desire for independence. In a high school production of “Head Over Heels,” she was listed as Suri Noelle, adopting her mother’s middle name. “Suri would have been too young to sign any agreement, but she will now be free to talk if she wants to,” noted Scientology researcher Tony Ortega.
Spotted in New York
Following her name change, Suri was seen walking through New York City in a pink blouse and white pants, listening to music with headphones. On her birthday, she was also seen with a friend, carrying a gift and a pink umbrella, highlighting her simple, carefree celebration.
Relationship with Tom Cruise
Suri and her father, Tom Cruise, have had a strained relationship, with Suri and her mother living in New York while Tom works in London. Social media users have commented on how much Suri resembles her mother. Katie Holmes has always emphasized the importance of providing a supportive environment for Suri, calling her “the most important person in her life.”
Reflections on Scientology
There has been speculation about Tom Cruise’s intention to introduce Suri to Scientology. Actress Leah Remini suggested Tom wanted to distance Suri from Katie. However, former Scientology spokesman Mike Rinder asserted, “Suri is not and never will be a Scientologist. She is deserving of compassion and affection.” Katie Holmes’s focus has been on ensuring Suri’s well-being and independence.
