Tom Cruise no longer has a relationship with his daughter Suri Cruise, who has now made a big change to try and remove her dad from her life.

It’s believed the Mission Impossible actor, 62, has “chosen not to see his daughter” for the past 11 years as his belief in Scientology took precedence in his life. When Tom finalized his divorce with Suri’s mom, Katie Holmes, in 2012 she was given full custody of their daughter.

Now, Suri seems to have completely turned her back on her dad as she dropped his last name when she turned 18. She’s instead going by Suri Noelle, taking on the middle name of her mom.

Suri used her new name during her graduation ceremony from the distinguished LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts. She was previously addressed as Suri Noelle during her portrayal of Morticia Addams in her school’s rendition of The Addams Family: A New Musical last December.

Amid the estrangement, a source has claimed that for the last 11 years, “Tom has chosen not to see Suri”. They added: “It was entirely Tom’s decision not to see Suri.”

Tony Ortega, an expert on Tom’s Scientology, added: “Tom has proven over and over again that his No.1 loyalty is to [his religion] and David Miscavige.” Speaking to In Touch magazine, he said that as the years passed, it “became more and more obvious Tom had completely cut Suri out of his life.”

Before Tom became estranged from his daughter, he had spoken about his desire to have kids. “My whole life I always wanted to be a father. I always said to myself that my children would be able to depend on me, and I would always be there for them and love them – that I’d never make a promise to my kids I couldn’t keep,” Tom told Vanity Fair in 2006.

In November 2013, Tom tried to explain the reason behind his estrangement. “Listen, when there is a divorce… things change. And it’s more complicated,” he said in a deposition when asked why he flew to London from Pittsburgh, where he was shooting Jack Reacher, to attend a church event that was “important” to him.

However. he didn’t invite his daughter, who only lives in New York. “You have to ask for permission and organize schedules to make things happen. So it’s not an ideal situation,” he said.

Tom wasn’t with his daughter when she celebrated her 18th birthday back in April. Instead, he was spotted in the UK partying at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday bash and filming Mission Impossible.

Tom is said to have felt guilty after missing his daughter’s birthday and was ready to reconnect. A source told Heat shortly after her celebration: “Tom is feeling guilty about missing so much of her life, but insists that he hasn’t completely shut Suri out of his life, and does get updates from time to time.”
