Katie Holmes Celebrates High School Graduation of Daughter Suri, 18 — Who Goes by ‘Suri Noelle’ in the Program

Katie Holmes’ daughter Suri is officially a high school graduate!

The actress, 45, and her 18-year-old daughter were photographed celebrating Suri’s big moment after the teenager graduated from her New York City high school on Friday, June 21.

Suri wore a red cap and gown over a white dress and was seen posing for photos with her mom, who wore tortoiseshell sunglasses and a white collared shirt, paired with white pants and silver heels. The pair was also photographed hugging and walking together after the event.

In her school’s graduation ceremony program, Suri goes by “Suri Noelle” instead of “Suri Cruise.”

That same weekend, Suri’s dad Tom Cruise, 61, was seen attending Taylor Swift’s Eras tour at London’s Wembley Stadium. After five years of marriage, Cruise and Holmes split in 2012.

Earlier in June, Suri seemed to point to her college plans in a TikTok celebrating her senior class’ chosen colleges.

In a video honoring “decision day” (also known as “sweatshirt day”), Suri appeared in a TikTok with classmates, who all wore sweatshirts celebrating the colleges and universities they have committed to attend in the fall.

Suri could be seen wearing a Carnegie Mellon sweatshirt, pointing it out during the video.

In the April 2023 issue of Glamour, Holmes discussed her daughter singing in two of her latest projects, Alone Together, which Holmes directed, and Rare Objects.

“I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her,” Holmes revealed.

“But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people,” she said. “And it’s this safe, beautiful, creative space. So it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly.”

“That’s how I like to work. I like to have that kind of feeling. It was very meaningful to me to have her there, because she’s my heart,” she added.
