Suri Cruise has reached a significant milestone, celebrating her high school graduation from LaGuardia High School in New York City, leaving her father, Tom Cruise, out of the celebration.
On Friday, June 21, she commemorated the event with her mother, Katie Holmes, by her side. In photos obtained by PageSix, Suri joyfully marked her achievement by taking photos with her mom and a friend at the United Palace Theatre in Washington Heights, presumably where the graduation ceremony was taking place.
The publication also shared a photo of the teen’s graduation ceremony pamphlet, which revealed that she opted to go by “Suri Noelle,” dropping her famous father’s last name once again. Suri also dropped Cruise’s last name in the Playbill for her school’s rendition of Head Over Heels back in May, also going by “Suri Noelle,” borrowing her mother’s middle name.
Earlier in the week the 18-year-old was spotted in the city before her senior prom with some friends. Accompanied by a date who held her by the waist in one photo, the teen wore a unique floral dress which featured a tapered skirt and maroon accents. Holmes, 45, accompanied her daughter to the event, taking photos along the way.
Cruise was notably absent from both events, most-likely due to their long-standing estrangement since Suri was a child. Instead, the actor was spotted in a social media video posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Friday, June 21 at Taylor Swift’s London Eras Tour, likely taking a break from filming the 8th Mission: Impossible movie.
Fans were quick to drop comments on the video, some mentioning how the 61-year-old should be spending more time with his estranged daughter. “Seems like something he could have taken his daughter to,” said one user. Another fan alluded to his involvement with Scientology, saying, “Tom Cruise would be so awesome if it wasn’t for 1 thing.”
