Suri had already stopped using Cruise in another setting.<\/p>\n<p>Months before the voter registration detail surfaced, she used the name Suri Noelle in her high school graduation program in June 2024, as previously reported. That move suggested she had already stepped away from her father\u2019s surname in public.<\/p>\n<p>People said <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2026\/07\/27\/parents\/suri-cruise-legally-severs-ties-with-estranged-dad-tom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Page Six<\/a> first reported the latest development.

Still, she shared warm comments when Suri left for college.<\/p>\n<p>In August 2024, she told Town &amp; Country: \u201cI\u2019m proud of my daughter. Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I\u2019m really proud of her and I\u2019m happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cI remember being this age, this time of beginnings.

PEOPLE said photographers spotted her visiting Katie on the New York City set of Happy Hours in August 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Katie was filming there with her Dawson\u2019s Creek co-star Joshua Jackson. The sighting offered a rare public look at the mother-daughter pair together.<\/p>\n<section class=\"dbc-editor-cta\"><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What do you think of this story?
