Now
that she is eighteen, Suri Cruise has many options available to her, including
the possibility of discreetly changing her name.
Katie
Holmes, the daughter of the famous couple, is one person legally able to
discuss her father's divorce from her.
By
changing her name, Suri Cruise, the daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise,
made a significant step toward adulthood. Recently turning eighteen, Suri chose
not to retain her father's last name.
Her
performance in the Broadway musical "Head Over Heels" showcased this
bold decision. In the play, she took on the role of Princess Philoclea,
originally portrayed by Alexandra Socha in the Broadway production.
On
the high school production's casting form, she was listed as Suri Noelle. This
reflects her desire to adopt her mother's middle name, as Katie Holmes' full
name is Kate Noelle Holmes.
After
announcing her decision, Suri was seen strolling through New York City,
appearing carefree. Dressed in a pink blouse and white pants, she walked with
her headphones on, blocking out the noise around her.

Additionally,
the name she now uses is quite different from the one on her original birth
certificate. She was originally named Suri Cruise and given her father's
well-known surname, according to the documents.
The
certificate was submitted to the Los Angeles County Clerk/Register-Recorder on
May 8, 2006. It contains a few peculiarities: Suri was born on April 18, but it
took 20 days for the paperwork to be filed, not until May 8.
This
delay was unusually long, as St. John’s Hospital typically files birth
certificates within ten days of the baby's birth. The hospital stated that the
certificate's certification lacked the signature of a parent or other
authorized signatory, causing the delay. Notably, a "friend"
purportedly signed the certificate, though the signature remains illegible.
Another
curious aspect is the signature of the "Attendant or Certifier," Anne
Heffernan, RNC. Anne was not present in the delivery room and did not witness
the birth of the baby.
While
it's customary for the attending physician to sign, it's not mandatory,
according to hospital officials. Heffernan was granted permission to sign in
place of the doctor.
As
an adult, Suri Noelle now has the legal right to change her name at the age of
eighteen. This newfound adulthood also empowers her to speak openly about
personal matters, such as her relationship with her father and his Scientology
beliefs.
"Given
her age at the time, Suri would have been too young to sign any agreement.
However, now that she's of legal age, she'll have the freedom to speak if she
chooses to do so. It will be quite intriguing if she has something to
share," remarked veteran Scientology researcher Tony Ortega.
Tony
elaborated that one reason Katie departed from Scientology when Suri was six
was likely because she witnessed the challenges faced by Tom's other children,
Isabella and Connor.
Only
time will reveal if Suri is ready to disclose details of her personal life to
the public. She is undoubtedly conscious of the information already circulating
about her relationship with her father, given her parents' status as well-known
A-list celebrities.
The
strained relationship between Suri and Tom has been widely acknowledged for the
past three years. Until Suri reached adulthood, she and her father were not
seen together. While Tom was filming "Mission Impossible 8," Suri celebrated
her birthday in the US, with hundreds of miles separating them.

The
sightings of Tom in London and Suri's celebrations in New York have been
previously mentioned. The 61-year-old actor, known for his fondness for flying
helicopters, was captured with a wide grin in the photograph. However, Tom's
appearance sparked numerous comments from internet users.
"OMG.
Mr. Tom Cruise, my all-time favorite, looks so grandfatherly already,"
wrote a Facebook user. "Whoa! I didn’t even recognize him," remarked
another person. Yet another commented, "This picture doesn’t resemble him
at all." Someone else added, "Boy, he looks completely
different." Some also noted that Tom's hair color contributed to his aged
appearance.
On
her birthday, Suri, who resides in New York with her mother, was seen out and
about. The actor's youngest and estranged daughter was spotted in New York City
with a friend, clutching a gift in her hands. She sported bootcut jeans and a
denim jacket, and despite the wet weather, she carried a pink umbrella.
While
numerous social media users observed the striking resemblance between Suri and
her mother Katie, others held differing opinions regarding her appearance.
"What
a gorgeous girl, she looks just like her mother!" exclaimed one social
media user. "Absolutely! A perfect replica of her mother," concurred
an Instagram user. Another remarked, "Wow, she's her mom’s spitting
image!" Yet another commented, "I initially thought this was her
mother."

Other
social media users took notice of Suri’s umbrella for various reasons.
"She doesn’t need much for the perfect birthday celebration. Just an
umbrella, some friends, and the rest will follow! She's a strong young woman,
just like her mommy!" remarked one user. "Why is she using an
umbrella meant for a four-year-old?" questioned a user named X. Someone
else posed a similar query.
Another
fan of Suri's sense of style left a comment on her Instagram image, asking,
"What is she wearing???" It seems that her mother has passed down her
good taste in clothing.
A
few days after her birthday, Suri was once again seen with her mother. The duo
was casually dressed, enjoying a coffee outing. Their fashionable attire caught
the attention of Vogue's Twitter, which celebrated them, hinting that they
could potentially star in a Chloé advertisement.

Suri
and her mother, Katie, share a strong and enduring bond, forged through years
of shared experiences. Their relationship exemplifies a resilient and lasting
mother-daughter connection.
Katie
has consistently prioritized Suri's well-being. In 2017, when she declared her
child as the most significant person in her life, she underscored the
importance of Suri's upbringing alongside her career. She emphasized the
necessity of providing her child with unwavering support and a nurturing, stress-free
environment.
While
Katie cherished her career, she found unparalleled satisfaction in witnessing
her child thrive. The actress made a conscious effort to relish every moment of
Suri's formative years.
Katie
grappled with the bittersweet truth that children grow increasingly independent
with each passing day. While she dreaded the inevitable separation, she was
determined to ensure that Suri had everything she needed before embarking on
her own journey.
When
Suri was fourteen years old, actress Leah Remini suggested that Tom planned to
delay introducing his daughter to Scientology. According to Leah, Scientology
regarded Katie as a suppressive individual and an adversary.
This
hinted that Tom didn't believe Katie and Suri could have a relationship. Leah
also suggested that Tom aimed to wait until Suri was older to introduce her to
Scientology, potentially as a means to create distance between her and her
mother.
Leah
was taken aback by Katie and Tom's abrupt split in 2012. She remembered Katie's
intense involvement in Tom's Scientology environment. However, Leah did praise
Katie for prioritizing her daughter's well-being.
Leah
speculated that there might have been an arrangement in place to ensure Suri's
safety. She went on to express her appreciation to Katie Holmes for removing
her daughter from a situation that could have harmed both Suri and their
relationship.
However,
looking ahead, former Scientology spokesman Mike Rinder asserted, "Suri is
not and will never be a Scientologist. She deserves compassion and love."
Throughout the years, Katie has been a nurturing and encouraging mother to her daughter, providing comfort during the challenges of her parents' divorce. As Suri approaches maturity, she will have the opportunity to assert control over her own life and make independent decisions.
