Photos and videos obtained by Page Six show Suri beaming with joy as she posed with her mother and friends, capturing the milestone moment. Dressed in a white dress under her red graduation robe, Suri looked thrilled as she interacted with fellow graduates. Katie Holmes, proud and supportive, was by her side throughout the ceremony.
Absent from the event was Suri’s father, Tom Cruise, with whom she has been estranged for most of her life. The graduation booklet listed her name as “Suri Noelle,” indicating she no longer uses the Cruise surname. This change underscores the distance between Suri and her father since his split from Katie Holmes in 2012.
