45, middle name Noelle, after years of no contact with her father.

Noelle is Dawson’s Creek star Katie’s middle name – showing Suri’s solidarity with her mother. Top Gun star Tom has not been seen out in public with his daughter for around a decade, and sources have previously claimed he has little involvement in her life – signalled further by Suri’s new moniker.

Tom’s only input to his daughter’s life has been financial and he hasn’t been seen with his daughter since 2013, after Katie quit both the marriage and the Church of Scientology – the religion to which Tom is so devoted.

According to their divorce settlement, Cruise agreed to pay Holmes $400,000 a year until Suri turned 18 and will continue to pay for her college fees as well.

Under the terms of their agreement, though he may be physically absent from his daughter’s life, he has and will continue to cover, ‘medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs.’

But despite having little if any relationship with her dad, Suri is, according to sources, a happy and well-adjusted teen who has loved growing up in New York City.

Katie and Tom married in a Scientologist ceremony in Italy in 2006 when the Dawson’s Creek actress was 27 and the Mission Impossible star was 44.
