Smiling and dancing for the camera, Suri Cruise is all grown up and ready to go to college.
Now, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal that the 18-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes has been accepted into the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
Clearly excited, Suri revealed her tartan pride in a fun TikTok where she and her friends wore the college sweatshirt of their choice and revealed the name to the camera.
The new freshman will not be able to make contacts between nepo and babies as, according to sources, although her mother helped her with her applications, Suri, whose famous father was not involved in her education, has always been determined to forge her own path .
Incoming freshman Suri Cruise showed off her tartan pride in a TikTok video revealing her college of choice, Carnegie Mellon University.
The 18-year-old daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, photographed with her mother in New York last month, is all grown up and will be flying co-op in the fall.
She applied to a number of universities and the artistic teenager was “leaning” towards studying fashion.
The Carnegie Mellon School of Design is one of the oldest and highest-ranked programs in the country.
Now, with acceptance into its hallowed halls, a remarkably stylish mother, and a wardrobe said to be worth five million dollars, Suri is off to the best possible start if that’s the path she’s chosen.
A source told DailyMail.com: ‘She is a smart girl and is developing into a very intelligent mature young woman. She has a very close group of loyal friends and knows exactly where she is coming from.
But while Holmes, 45, will surely be proud of her daughter’s stellar accomplishments, sources say she’s “overwhelmed” by the thought of sending her little one to college.
One of them recently told DailyMail.com: “Katie is very proud of her, but she is also extremely overprotective.”
Sources told DailyMail.com that the stylish teenager had applied to a number of universities and that the artistic teenager was “leaning” towards studying fashion.
Although born to two famous parents, Suri was largely raised by her actress mother after losing contact with Scientologist father Tom Cruise (pictured in 2007) following their divorce.
The Carnegie Mellon School of Design in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, has one of the oldest and highest-rated programs in the country.
Perhaps not surprising given that, for the past 11 years, Holmes has effectively raised Suri alone.
Cruise, 61,’s only contribution to his daughter’s life has been financial and he has not been seen with his daughter since 2013, after Holmes renounced both the marriage and the Church of Scientology, the religion to which that Cruise is so devoted. .
Under their divorce settlement, Cruise agreed to pay Holmes $400,000 a year until Suri turned 18 and will continue to pay her college fees as well.
Under the terms of your agreement, although you may be physically absent from your daughter’s life, you have and will continue to cover “medical, dental, insurance, educational, college, and other extracurricular costs.”
But despite having little to no relationship with her father, Suri is, according to sources, a happy, well-adjusted teenager who has loved growing up in New York City.
Earlier this week she was seen running in the city’s Central Park while enjoying a morning workout in the June sunshine.
Later, she swapped her workout clothes for a simple white summer dress paired with brown boots while out for dinner in Soho with her mother and grandmother, Kathleen Stomer-Holmes.
Katie Holmes was married to the Top Gun star and famed Scientologist from 2006 to 2012, when they divorced and she left the church.
The actor’s close bond with his adult children is a far cry from the relationship he shares with his biological daughter, Suri, who turned 18 last month and has reportedly been separated from her father for more than a decade.
Suri wore her hair down while her mother, who she is the spitting image of, wore hers in a long braid.
Like her daughter, Holmes opted for a neutral summer dress and paired hers with black platform sandals and ankle-high socks.
Holmes and Cruise were reportedly interested in co-parenting when they initially divorced in 2012.
But Cruise’s religion proved to be an obstacle to any continued contact with his ex-wife and son, just as it did with his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman.
The 56-year-old actress has not had a relationship with the son and daughter she and Cruise adopted since she left the Church of Scientology, and they remained in it.
Scientologists consider non-believers to be “repressive” and, despite official Church denials, many former Scientologists speak of being prohibited from having any continued relationships with people who have left the Church, regardless of the nature of their relationship.
