Suri Cruise has been spotted walking the streets of New York City shortly after celebrating turning 18.

The daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes celebrated her milestone birthday last month and enjoyed time with her mum. Her dad, meanwhile, wasn't by his daughter's side and was instead partying at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday bash as his strained relationship with the teen seemed to be no closer to healing.

The teenager looked carefree as she was spotted carrying a navy rucksack while wearing chunky black headphones. She was dressed in n a red-striped short-sleeved Henley top, grey jogging bottoms, and off-white Converse trainers. She carried a denim jacket drapped over her right arm.

It was reported last week that Suri had dropped her Hollywood star dad's last name and is instead going by a new moniker, which gave a telling sign that she wasn't after anything to do with her Hollywood star dad.

According to Hello! Magazine, Suri's new title is simply Suri Noelle and was spotted in the playbill of her school production of The Go-Go's jukebox musical, Head Over Heels. The new name would see Suri taking on the middle name of her mum, 45, while completely blanking any link to Tom, 61.

Tom is said to have felt guilty after missing his daughter's birthday and was ready to reconnect. A source told Heat shortly after her celebration: "Tom is feeling guilty about missing so much of her life, but insists that he hasn’t completely shut Suri out of his life, and does get updates from time to time." They added Tom had made the deal to "allow her and her mother to live their own lives because that was what Katie wanted".

Tom's lack of involvement in his daughter's life has been widely reported. According to Katie and Tom's divorce documents, the Top Gun star agreed to pay his ex-wife $400,000 (£319,000) per year until Suri turned 18. Tom also agreed to pay all of his daughter's expenses, which are said to have included "medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs".

Tom has recently been spotted in Mallorca where he showed off his toned torso in the sea. His six pack was impressively on show as he slicked his wet hair back during his dip at Formentor beach in Pollensa.
