The ultra-private daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes has popped up in a TikTok video, which provided insight into what she plans to do now she’s turned 18.

Friday, June 7 | Top stories | From the Newsroom

Suri Cruise is headed for college.

The 18-year-old daughter of exes Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will be attending Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, come September.

Suri revealed the news via a rare TikTok posted by a fellow student at New York City’s LaGuardia High School, which was captioned, “LaG commitment day.”

The video, which was set to the tune of Abbi Sutphen’s Always Remember You, showed about a dozen students sporting sweatshirts emblazoned with their soon-to-be college names.

When the camera panned to Suri, she was wearing a red hoodie that had the words “Carnegie Mellon” written in white across the chest.

The teen used her hands to show off the school’s name as she smiled and made silly faces for the camera. She also did a cute dance alongside her friend.

Suri — who celebrated her milestone birthday in April — paired the telling top with denim jeans, and she carried a navy blue backpack.

According to the Daily Mail, she is “leaning towards” studying fashion.

Holmes, 45, reportedly helped her daughter with her “host” of applications; however, Suri “has always been determined to forge her own way.”

“She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature young woman. She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from,” a source told the outlet.

The source added that although Holmes is proud of her only child, the actress is “overwhelmed” by the thought of sending her little girl off.

“Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective,” the source said.

The Dawson’s Creek star told Glamour last year that she has worked hard to “protect” Suri from the spotlight “because she was so visible at a young age.”

Holmes went on to call the teen “an incredible person.”

While the mother-daughter duo are extremely close, Suri has no relationship with Tom, 61.

As Page Six exclusively reported, the actor has not seen his youngest child since 2012.

In 2013, Tom — the most famous member of the Church of Scientology — admitted that Holmes had filed for divorce after almost six years of marriage “to protect Suri from Scientology.”

Regular members who leave the organisation are declared “suppressive persons,” and those who stay are told to completely cut them off.
