The mom of Suri Noelle, 18, is preparing for her only child to leave the nest as she heads to college this fall.

Suri is expected to attend Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh this fall.

Mission: Impossible star Cruise has not been seen out in public with his daughter for around a decade, and sources have previously claimed he has little involvement in her life – signaled further by Suri’s new moniker.
