As Suri Cruise Drops Her Dad’s Name, Insiders Weigh In On How She Feels About Katie Holmes’ New Man

Suri Cruise has been going by Suri Noelle for a long time; however, now she’s changed her last name officially. This marks a big moment in her relationship with her father, Tom Cruise. Meanwhile, sources are also making claims about the 20-year-old’s relationship with her mother, Katie Holmes, and her mom’s new boyfriend, Jason Bard Yarmosky.

Suri Cruise Dropped Tom Cruise’s Last Name

Public records have revealed that Suri Cruise registered to vote in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, under the name Suri Noelle in October 2024 when she was a Freshman at Carnegie Mellon University, via Page Six. Pennsylvania courts also confirmed that residents have to use their legal name to vote. However, the outlet noted she likely changed her last name before going to school, because she did not file a name change request in Allegheny County.

It’s been reported in the past that Suri does go by Suri Noelle over Suri Cruise, as there have been numerous claims over the years that she and her father are estranged. This latest update makes that change legal.

How Does Suri Feel About Katie Holmes’ New Boyfriend?

As Suri is making headlines because of her dad, there are also updates about her mom. Katie Holmes is dating Jason Bard Yarmosky, and according to Rob Shuter, sources say her daughter approves of him. Here’s what one insider alleged to Naughty But Nice:

Suri liked him immediately. She’s incredibly protective of her mom, but more than anything, she wants to see Katie happy. That meant the world to Katie.

Katie Holmes has been open about wanting to keep Suri out of the spotlight. However, the two have actually worked together, as Suri sang the opening credits for a movie Holmes did called Alone Together. Overall, it would seem they have a protective and lovely relationship, and Suri’s new last name, Noelle, is actually Holmes’ middle name.

So, the 20-year-old’s opinion of her mom’s partner carries weight. To that point, the source claimed:

Let’s be honest—if Suri didn’t like him, he’d already be history. Katie trusts her daughter’s instincts completely. No relationship will ever come before Suri.

The report notes that a non-negotiable Holmes has is that she won’t move forward with a relationship if her daughter (who looks just like her, by the way) does not approve. So, she apparently took things slow with Yarmosky, and then introduced him to her daughter when she knew they would be together for a long time. On that note, an insider claimed:

Katie never rushes anything involving Suri. She wanted to know this relationship had genuine potential before bringing Jason into her daughter’s life.

For context, rumors started to spread about Katie Holmes and Jason Bard Yarmosky dating earlier this month, and they made their first public appearance together on July 24, per E! News. This is major because the last public relationship she had was in 2022.

According to this insider, Holmes being in a serious relationship does rely on her daughter’s approval of her partner.

Getting Suri’s seal of approval was the biggest milestone. Katie can finally relax because the two people she loves most genuinely like each other.

Well, it would seem all is going well between Suri Noelle, her mom, and her mom’s boyfriend. Meanwhile, she has now legally separated herself from her father by changing her last name.

As for Tom Cruise, he’s getting ready to release Digger on the 2026 movie schedule. So, he’s staying busy professionally.

Now, as we learn more about the personal and professional lives of these folks, we’ll keep you posted. But right now, it seems like Suri Cruise is happy being Suri Noelle, and she’s allegedly very happy about her mom’s new relationship.
