Suri Cruise, daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, has confirmed her estrangement from her father, stating he “does not exist” in her life.
At 18, Suri has changed her last name to Noel, her mother’s middle name, symbolizing her desire for independence and a separate identity from her father.
Tom Cruise has reportedly not seen Suri for over a decade, with sources indicating that he has chosen to distance himself from her since his divorce from Katie Holmes.
Suri is set to begin her studies at Carnegie Mellon University, focusing on acting and dance, while her mother, Katie Holmes, continues her Broadway career.
Despite the estrangement, Tom Cruise is covering Suri’s tuition fees, which amount to approximately $65,000 per year, as part of the divorce settlement.
Suri’s 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood was marked by intense media scrutiny, particularly due to her parents’ high-profile relationship and Tom Cruise’s association with Scientology.
The relationship between Suri and her half-siblings, Connor and Isabella, remains strained, with reports suggesting they have had no contact for over a decade.
