LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tom Cruise and Katie Homes' daughter, Suri Noelle, seemingly revealed her plans to attend Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University in the fall of this year on TikTok.

The 18-year-old is a graduating senior at New York City's LaGuardia High School, according to PageSix.

Carnegie Mellon has a long list of distinguished alumni, including six who were nominated for Tony Awards. Famous alumni include Leslie Odom Jr, Patrick Wilson, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Ted Danson, Judith Light, Holly Hunter, and Pittsburgh's own Joe Manganiello, Zachary Quinto and Billy Porter.

Pittsburgh's own Ming-Na Wen, who recently won The Timeless Beauty Award during the 2024 Hollywood Beauty Awards, also graduated from CMU.

Suri's choice of course is yet to be known. However, the Daily Mail noted that she is inclined toward studying fashion. 

Suri Noelle drops 'Cruise' from her name

Suri, most recently starred in her school production of 'Head Over Heels' based on the Broadway musical, which features the music of the 1980s girl group The Go-Go's.

The play garnered attention when it was revealed that Suri used her mother’s middle name in place of "Cruise" on the casting sheet, listing herself as "Suri Noelle," as per InTouch. The 'Dawson's Creek' alum's full name is Kate Noelle Holmes. 

Homes and Cruise, who started dating in April 2005, welcomed Suri a year later in April 2006, seven months ahead of their elaborate Italian wedding in November 2006. The couple decided to end their five-year marriage in 2012.

While Suri maintains a tight-knit bond with her mother, she has no relationship with the 'Mission Impossible' star due to his affiliation with the Church of Scientology. 

Following their divorce, Homes raised Suri all by herself in New York City.
