Although it may seem like a new trend in the industry, given what is happening between Brad Pitt and the children he had with Angelina Jolie, slowly but surely, prominent last names are at risk of disappearing from records, at least from family books.
The latest protagonist has been Suri, who, according to People and Page Six, has formally and legally removed her father's last name to pay tribute to her mother, so for the past two years, she has been called Suri Noelle, which is the actress's second name.
We have to go back to late spring 2024 to find out that Suri already had a new identity because at the high school graduation ceremony she was already listed as Suri Noelle, although many believed it was an artistic name, as the young woman has expressed her intention to pursue a career like her parents.
However, as Page Six has found out, the change is legal because it was registered with that name to vote in Pennsylvania, where she has been living for two years because she is studying at the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania.
The same media also emphasizes that the teenager did not submit the request for the identity change in that state, so it is assumed that it was processed in New York, where she lived with her mother until now, the star of Dawson's Creek (1998-2003).
Since Katie and Tom divorced in 2012 after five and a half years of marriage, the couple decided to settle on opposite ends of the United States. Being one of the main figures in the film industry with his blockbuster hits, Cruise lives in Los Angeles, while Holmes resides in the city that never sleeps.

A few weeks after the separation, paparazzi immortalized the last time father and daughter were seen in public when the star of the Mission Impossible franchise took her to Disney World in California.
Over the past 14 years, the actor has been a stranger in his third child's life, the main reason why Suri has decided to renounce her father's last name.
Of course, she has always had the protection and care of her famous mom, who has always devoted herself to her only daughter. To date, they have always lived in rental apartments in different areas of Manhattan. Kate definitively disengaged from the west coast of the country when she sold her mansion in Calabasas in 2020 for just over four million dollars.

After her breakup with composer Bobby Wooten III at the end of 2022, the actress had been focused on her daughter and her career. There seemed to be a hint of love between Katie and Joshua Jackson, her co-star in Dawson's Creek, with whom she has great chemistry, but the images published at the time of them walking in Central Park were for a shoot.
In recent days, the media has echoed the new relationship between Katie and Jason Bard Yarmosky, a 39-year-old artist who has exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum with whom she is spending the summer between New York and the Hamptons.
Tom's relationship with his other two children
The marriage between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman lasted from 1990 to 2001 and during their relationship, they starred in three movies, Days of Thunder (1990) -they met during filming-, Far and Away (1992), and Eyes Wide Shut (1999). The couple adopted two children, Isabella and Connor, who as they have grown have practically disappeared from the media radar.
Although the judge granted the former couple shared legal custody, the children chose to mainly live with Cruise in Los Angeles, where he owns several mansions. A supporter and follower of Scientology, the honorary Oscar winner managed to make his older children adherents to this cult which, apparently, plays a decisive role in maintaining a strong family bond.
This was a thorny issue for Katie Holmes, who never accepted the actor's requests for their common daughter to be a member of Scientology. A decision that led to the breakup and total lack of contact between the couple.
Currently, Isabella and Connor are two independent adults engaged in businesses unrelated to show business. She lives in London with her husband, Max Parker, where she works as an artist and fashion designer, and he is in Clearwater (Florida), the hub of Scientology, where he works as a DJ and in deep-sea fishing.
Little inclined to appear in the spotlight, there are hardly any images of Tom with his children. There are none with Isabella, and with Connor, the last ones are from when they traveled by helicopter in London in 2019 and two years later during a Los Angeles Dodgers game.
