Tom Cruise continues to provide financial support for his daughter Suri despite a 14‑year public absence. After her high‑school graduation in June 2024, Suri began using her mother’s middle name, Noelle, as her family name in public. Voter‑registration records from Allegheny County listed her as “Suri Noelle” when she registered to vote in October 2024 while a freshman at Carnegie Mellon University, where she studies musical theatre. A legal filing in July 2026 confirmed that she formally dropped the Cruise surname, and on 27 July 2026 a court order officially recorded the change. ~~The new filing showed~~ Media reports on 27 July and 30 July 2026 reiterated the filing, noting the name ~~appearing in~~ appears on Pennsylvania voter‑registration ~~documents, reinforcing earlier evidence that she now uses~~ documents and confirming the ~~surname Noelle in all legal documents.

By late July 2026 she was a sophomore at Carnegie Mellon, still recorded as Suri Noelle.

Neither Tom Cruise nor Katie Holmes has commented on the change, and the financial arrangement remains unchanged.
