Suri Cruise was seen navigating the streets of New York City on Tuesday, adorned with a navy-blue backpack and immersed in her music through oversized wireless headphones.
The daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, who reached the milestone of legal adulthood on April 18, sported a casual ensemble consisting of a red-striped short-sleeved Henley top, grey sweatpants, and off-white Converse ‘Chuck Taylors.’ Draped over her shoulders was a blue jean jacket, completing her laid-back look as she made her way through the city.
With her high school graduation just around the corner, Suri has been making waves beyond her academic achievements. Recently, Hello! Magazine reported her adoption of a new name, ‘Suri Noelle,’ which she proudly displayed in the playbill of her school production of The Go-Go’s jukebox musical, Head Over Heels. By incorporating her mother’s middle name and omitting her father’s surname, Suri asserted her individuality.

In the production, Suri reportedly took on the role of Princess Philoclea, a character previously portrayed by Broadway actress Alexandra Socha. This is not the first time Suri has showcased her talents; she previously displayed her soprano abilities by covering the classic ‘Blue Moon’ for her mother’s film project.
Despite her parents’ highly publicized divorce in 2012, Suri has continued to receive financial support from her father. Tom Cruise has reportedly provided $4.8 million in child support, in addition to agreeing to cover her college tuition and other expenses.

Cruise also agreed to pay for Suri’s college tuition as well as ‘extracurricular costs’ and medical, dental, and insurance expenses – according to TMZ.

If the Mission: Impossible action star attempted to call his daughter, ‘she would not answer.’
‘He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything,’ a source told DailyMail.com on April 18.

‘She feels that she has one parent and that is her mother.’
Some speculate Tom’s alleged estrangement has to do with the mother-daughter duo ‘disavowing the Church of Scientology’ and devotees don’t associate with SPs (suppressive people).
Cruise is also father to two adult children – Isabella Jane Cruise, 31; and Connor Antony Cruise, 29 – from his decade-long marriage to ex-wife #2 Nicole Kidman, which ended in 2001.
