Katie Holmes Opened Up About 18-Year-Old Suri Leaving For College After She Reportedly Dropped Tom Cruise’s Last Name At Her High School Graduation

Katie Holmes is gearing up for her daughter’s next chapter.

As I’m sure you know, exes Katie and Tom Cruise share an 18-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise.

When Tom and Katie settled their divorce in 2012, it was agreed that Suri would live primarily with her mom on the East Coast. Since then, Tom and Suri have rarely been seen together, prompting speculation that the two are estranged.

Since most of Suri’s upbringing was centered in New York with Katie, the mother-daughter duo appear to have grown incredibly close and are often photographed together in the city.

And now, with Suri soon heading off to college, Katie has opened up about the mixed emotions of becoming an empty nester.

Katie is incredibly private about Suri, so the interview noted that this was all the Dawson’s Creek star was willing to share about family life. However, she took the opportunity to reflect on her experiences as a young adult, confessing that it makes her “happy” to imagine that Suri will soon embark on her own exciting journey.

Tom was notably absent from Suri’s high school graduation ceremony in June, where she reportedly dropped “Cruise” from her name and instead went by “ Suri Noelle ” — a presumed nod to her mom’s middle name.
