Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ Daughter Suri Reveals Her College Plans Oops, you blinked and Katie Holmes is now the proud mom of a high school graduate.
The Dawson’s Creek alum joined her and ex-husband Tom Cruise’s daughter Suri as the 18-year-old graduated from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in a ceremony held at the United Palace Theatre in New York City June 21.
Katie, 45, and her daughter were photographed together outside the venue, with the Batman Begins actress sporting a cream collared shirt, matching pants and silver kitten heel sandals and Suri dressed in a red cap and gown, white maxi dress, floral sandals and white sash showcasing her music concentration, as seen in pics published by Page Six. Tom was not spotted at the event. The 61-year-old has been working on Mission Impossible 8 in England in recent months and was last spotted June 22 attending Taylor Swift’s second Eras tour concert at Wembley Stadium in London.
While living away from the spotlight as a teen, Suri has showcased her own musical talent on a professional level. Katie’s 2022 movie Alone Together features her singing a cover of “Blue Moon” in its opening credits. Suri also sang in her mother’s 2023 film Rare Objects.

“I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her,” Katie told Glamour in 2023. “But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people. And it’s this safe, beautiful, creative space. So it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly.”
Meanwhile, Suri is headed to college. In a brief appearance in a classmate’s TikTok earlier this month, Suri signaled she is set to attend Carnegie Mellon University.
