Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter, Suri, has dropped her famous last name, according to Page Six.

State voter records show a "Suri Noelle" with the same age and birth date as the former Suri Cruise in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, the location of Carnegie Mellon University, which the 20-year-old is widely reported to be attending.

Noelle is Holmes' middle name. It was not immediately clear when the name change occurred.

People reported in 2024 that Holmes and Cruise's daughter used the last name "Noelle" at her high school graduation that summer.

According to Broadway World, Noelle is slated to star in Midsummer!, a modern take on a Shakespeare classic, with other college students in Pittsburgh later this week.

ABC News has reached out to representatives for Cruise and Holmes for comment.

The former couple announced their daughter's birth in April 2006, a year after they began dating. The pair were married in November that same year and divorced in 2012.

In 2023, Holmes spoke about her daughter in an interview with Glamour, where she emphasized the importance of privacy.

"What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her," Holmes said.

She added, "I'm very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She's an incredible person."

Good news, Half-Bloods.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 will premiere on Nov. 20, Disney+ has announced.

The news arrived as stars Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood), Charlie Bushnell (Luke Castellan), Tamara Smart (Thalia Grace), Levi Chrisopulos (Nico di Angelo) and Olive Abercrombie took to the stage at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday.

Leah Sava Jeffries, who plays Annabeth Chase, could not appear due to her prior commitment filming The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen. Even still, she sent over a video message for the fans that teed up a look at the opening act of season 3.

The third season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is based on the third installment in author Rick Riordan's bestselling Percy Jackson book series, The Titan’s Curse.

"The stakes are higher than ever before as Percy is faced with the sudden disappearance of Annabeth and the impending Great Prophecy provided by the Oracle of Delphi, dictating the fate of Olympus," according to an official description for the season. "As foretold by the Oracle of Delphi, one demigod child of the 'Big Three' is fated to raise Olympus to new heights or bring it crashing into ruin, with their own life hanging in the balance."

Disney+ also shared a teaser video to announce the release date. It finds Percy Jackson in pain as he holds up the entire sky.

"It was my choice to hold the weight. The Titan's curse. I knew the risk. But if I needed to sacrifice myself to save the world, to save my friends, was it really a choice?" Scobell's Percy says.

Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg created the series. They both executive produce alongside Dan Shotz, Craig Silverstein and Rebecca Riordan.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Disney+.
