The lives of Tom Cruise and his daughter Suri go their separate ways. Neither the passage of time nor blood ties were enough to reunite the 18-year-old with her father, with whom she has not been seen in public since 2013. The distance between them pushed Suri to recently take a sharp decision.
At her graduation party, the daughter of the former acting couple appeared credited not with her birth namebut as “Suri Noelle”, thus adopting her mother’s middle name, Katie Noelle Holmes.

The young woman’s intention not to use her father’s last name arose a few months ago, when she starred in Head Over Heels, a musical produced by his exclusive school in New York. Over there, The teenager was also listed simply as “Suri Noelle.”.
“Suri is not a Scientologist and never will be,” stated a former spokesperson for the mysterious cult and explained this way not only the reason for the distance between the Hollywood star and his daughter, but also the barrier that prevents them from seeing each other again today. Apparently, the actor maintains contact with his other two children, Isabella and Connor, because they do profess the same religious doctrine as him.

PageSix. For his part, Mike Rinder, a man who served as spokesperson for the mysterious cult, who left the organization and has not seen his older children since, said: “Suri is not a Scientologist and never will be… She deserves love and sympathy”.
