Tom Cruise rushes out of London in his helicopter as estranged daughter Suri, 18, (who he hasn’t seen in over 10 YEARS) settles in at Carnegie Mellon University after ditching his last name
As a lifestyle expert with years of personal and professional experience, I find myself deeply moved by the story of Tom Cruise and his daughter Suri. It’s heartwarming to see young adults like Suri embark on their own journeys, especially when they’re making bold choices that reflect their individuality.
Tom Cruise appeared in a hurry as he rushed into his helicopter to fly out of London on Monday.
As Tom, aged 62, carries on shooting another Mission: Impossible movie, his 18-year-old daughter Suri is getting accustomed to her new campus living at Carnegie Mellon University.
After not seeing her father for more than a decade, Suri opted to use a different surname, her father’s last name, when she completed high school.
After many years without contact from her father, the college student opted to adopt her mother’s middle name, Noelle (which is Katie Holmes’ middle name, by the way).
Noelle is Dawson’s Creek star Katie’s middle name – showing Suri’s solidarity with her mother.


For nearly a decade, Tom Cruise, famous for his role in Top Gun, hasn’t been spotted in public with his daughter. Previous reports suggest that he plays a minimal role in her life, a possibility hinted at more recently by the change in her nickname.
Tom has primarily provided financial support for his daughter’s life, and he hasn’t been observed with her since 2013 following Katie’s departure from their marriage and the Church of Scientology, a faith that Tom holds deeply.
As per their divorce agreement, Cruise has obligated himself to provide Holmes with $400,000 annually until their daughter Suri reaches the age of 18. Additionally, he is responsible for covering her college expenses.
As a devoted admirer, I must say, even when he’s not there in person, our agreement ensures that he takes care of her needs, providing for her medical, dental, insurance, educational expenses – from primary school to college – and additional extracurricular costs. He’s got her covered!
Despite not having a close relationship with her father, reports suggest that Suri remains a content and balanced teenager, thriving in the vibrant city of New York.
In the year 2006, Katie and Tom tied the knot during a Scientology wedding ceremony that took place in Italy. At that time, the actress from Dawson’s Creek was 27 years old, while the actor from Mission: Impossible was 44.
During their six-year marriage, it’s been hinted that Katie found herself feeling progressively overwhelmed by the influence of the church, where Tom still holds a significant position.
In 2012, it became public knowledge that Katie decided to terminate their marriage due to concerns about bringing up her daughter within the Church of Scientology.





In 2012, when his divorce from Katie was officially completed, a photograph emerged showing Top Gun actor spending quality time at Disneyland with his daughter – their last known public outing together.
It’s reported that the same year, the prominent figure from Hollywood went without seeing his daughter for over 100 days, spanning from their vacation in August up until Thanksgiving in November.
Exclusive information from DailyMail.com indicates that Suri has enrolled as a first-year student at Carnegie Mellon University, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, beginning this month.
According to the school’s website, her first day of moving in was last Sunday, and her classes are set to start on August 26th.
Reportedly, DailyMail.com says, Suri, the offspring of well-known Hollywood actors, will experience lodgings quite distinct from her New York City familiarity. Instead, she’ll share a dorm room with another female student.
According to our source, Suri has decided to immerse herself fully into college life by living in dormitories. She’ll be sharing a room with someone else, and she can hardly wait! She’s thrilled about starting this fresh phase of her existence.
Instead of living in the luxurious three-bedroom high-rise apartment owned by actress Katie Holmes, the teenager will reside in a spartan dormitory room.
