Suri Changes Legal Name to Suri Noelle

Overview

• Page Six reported Tuesday that Allegheny County voter registration lists 20-year-old Suri as Suri Noelle, and U.S. voter rolls require the use of a legal name so the entry functions as evidence the change is official.
• Reporters found no Pennsylvania court filings for a name change, which suggests the legal petition was likely completed earlier in New York where she lived with her mother after the 2012 divorce.
• Suri moved to Pittsburgh to study musical theatre at Carnegie Mellon in October 2024 and had already avoided using the Cruise surname publicly, including at her LaGuardia High School graduation in June 2024.
• Coverage notes a long-standing estrangement between Suri and Tom Cruise since the 2012 divorce and cites commentary linking that distance to Cruise's ties to the Church of Scientology as background analysis rather than a legal finding.
• The change formalizes an ongoing effort by a celebrity child to build an independent identity, and it could prompt further public interest in family privacy, future documents, and whether either parent will comment.
