Suri Cruise moves into Carnegie Mellon dorm with help from mom Katie Holmes
Suri Cruise, daughter of actress Katie Holmes and actor Tom Cruise, has officially moved into her dorm at Carnegie Mellon University in Oakland, Daily Mail reported.
Suri, 18, moved in with Holmes’ help over the weekend, according to photos on the Daily Mail site.
Holmes, 45, starred as Joey Potter on “Dawson’s Creek,” and Tom Cruise, 62, has been filming “Mission: Impossible 8 — Dead Reckoning Part 2” after attending the Olympics closing ceremony in Paris, according to the Daily Mail.
Suri is Holmes’ only child and one of Tom Cruise’s three kids. Isabella Jane Cruise and Connor Cruise were both adopted by him during his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman.
Holmes was married to Tom Cruise from 2006 to 2012, according to Us Weekly.
Tom Cruise has been reportedly estranged from Suri, and she allegedly has no intention of reconnecting with her father, The New Zealand Herald reported. When asked whether Holmes had left him “in part to protect Suri from Scientology,” Tom replied: “That was one of the assertions, yes,” the Herald said.
As a freshman at Carnegie Mellon, Suri will share a dorm with a roommate, the Daily Mail said, and she will begin classes on Monday, according to the school’s website.
It was revealed that Suri will attend Carnegie Mellon via a TikTok post in May, where she could be seen wearing a sweatshirt from the school. Suri graduated from New York City’s LaGuardia High School, according to CBS News.

In 2023, Holmes told Glamour that she likes to “protect” Suri from the public eye “because she was so visible at a young age,” according to People.
As of now, it’s unclear what Suri’s major will be at Carnegie Mellon. However, Holmes told Town & Country magazine that Suri is interested in pursuing a career in fashion or acting.
“Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her and I’m happy,” Holmes said to Town & Country. “I remember being this age, this time of beginnings. It’s exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that.”
When it comes to familiarity with Pittsburgh, Holmes played a role in the movie “Wonder Boys,” which was filmed in the region. Tom Cruise starred in “Jack Reacher,” filmed in and around Pittsburgh.
