“Katie Holmes Reveals Heartfelt Secrets About Suri’s Transition to College That Will Leave You Speechless!”
In an interview with Town & Country for its September 2024 issue, Katie spoke out about the new chapter in her and her daughter’s lives.
The Dawson’s Creek actress shares 18-year-old Suri with Tom Cruise, whom she divorced in 2012. The Top Gun actor also shares two children, Isabella and Connor, with his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman.
“I’m proud of my daughter. Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her, and I’m happy,” Katie said.
“I remember being this age, this time of beginnings. It’s exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that.”

Though Katie didn’t confirm where her daughter will be studying, a TikTok shared by one of Suri’s classmates showed the teen wearing a Carnegie Mellon University sweater, leading to speculations that she’ll move to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Suri appears to have inherited her mother’s love for acting, as she starred in the lead role of Morticia Addams in her school’s production of The Addams Family last year.
She also portrayed Philoclea in The Go-Go’s jukebox musical Head Over Heels. In the playbill, the 18-year-old listed herself as “Suri Noelle,” dropping her father’s surname and adopting her mother’s middle name.
