Tom Cruise ‘Down in the Dumps’ After Daughter Suri Distances Herself ‘Further’ by Dropping Last Name

Suri Cruise has officially changed her last name — and estranged father Tom Cruise doesn’t appear to be taking the news well.

“He’s very down in the dumps,” a source tells the National Enquirer. “It’s not just the pain of her distancing herself even further that’s tormenting him, it’s also all the attention on him now for this.”

On Monday, July 27, Page Six reported that Suri, 20, has legally taken mom Katie Holmes‘ middle name as her surname. According to the outlet, public records show that the Carnegie Mellon University student registered to vote in Pennsylvania using the name Suri Noelle.

Cruise, 64, “hasn’t got an awful lot of people to lean on, but David Beckham is like a brother to him and someone Tom considers very wise,” says the source. “He’s been opening up to David, who’s reassuring him to hang in there and not let all this stuff get him down too much.”

David is no stranger to family drama himself.

As the Enquirer previously reported, the retired soccer star, 51, and his wife, Victoria Beckham, are estranged from son Brooklyn Beckham after he posted a scathing Instagram Story earlier this year, accusing them of trying to “ruin” his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz.

“Of course, David has his own problems with Brooklyn, so they’ve been bonding over what they’re both going through,” reveals the source. “Tom’s been there for David, and now David’s returning the favor. His advice is basically to keep busy, keep his head up … and don’t let the negativity get him down.”
