Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s son makes rare public appearance at Mission Impossible premiere

Connor Cruise, the 28-year-old adopted son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman has been photographed with his father for the first time in years.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s son Connor Cruise has supported his father’s new Mission Impossible movie during a rare public appearance in New York.

The only son of the two legendary movie stars dressed casually for the event and was snapped wearing a grey collared shirt with blue jeans and sneakers.

Tom’s beloved sister Lee Mapother also tagged along with the father-son duo.

The 28-year-old was adopted in 1995 by Tom and then-wife Nicole but lives a private life away from the spotlight and is seldom seen publicly with either of his parents.

Connor and his sister Isabella are believed to be somewhat estranged from their famous mother ever since Tom divorced Nicole in 2001.

In 2018, Kidman made a rare statement about her relationship with her children.

“I’m very private about all that. I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is,” she told Who magazine.

Tom and his two eldest children are all devout Scientologists, while Nicole is a Roman Catholic and has publicly distanced herself from the church.

“They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them,” she said, adding that Connor and Isabella are “adults.”

Nicole also shares two biological daughters with her second husband Keith Urban and predominantly lives between Nashville and Sydney, while Connor and Isabella are believed to live in Florida and London respectively.

Kidman has not been photographed with her two elder children in more than 15 years and typically declines to discuss them in interviews out of respect of their religious beliefs.

She was also not present at either Connor or Isabella’s weddings in 2015 and 2019.

More recently, Connor’s sister Isabella has publicly used the name “Bella Kidman Cruise” and occasionally comments on her mother’s Instagram posts.

Connor and Isabella also have a half-sister, Suri, from Tom’s marriage to Katie Holmes.

Unlike her elder siblings, Suri is not believed to be in contact with her father Tom after Katie was granted sole custody.

What Is Tom Cruise's Son Connor Up To Today?

When your parents are Hollywood superstars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman , it can be hard to stay out of the spotlight. But Connor Cruise has managed to maintain his privacy and carve out his own life outside of the limelight.

Connor was adopted by Cruise and Kidman when he was 1 month old and was reportedly homeschooled (via Hollywood Life ). After his parents split, Connor and his older sister, Bella, decided to stay with their dad and remain members of the Church of Scientology. Despite the fact that she rarely speaks about her two oldest children, Kidman has made it clear that they are still very much a priority for her. "They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions," she said (via Hello! ). "They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them."

When he was younger, Connor gave acting a try and landed supporting roles in 2008's "Seven Pounds," starring Will Smith, and 2012's "Red Dawn" remake, where he costarred alongside Chris Hemsworth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (via IMDb ). Connor then transitioned into working as a professional DJ under the name "DJ C-Squared" (via The Things ) and even released his own track on Spinnin Records (via Your EDM ). However, it appears that he gave up that career sometime in late 2016 (via Daily Mail ).

Connor Cruise is happily married to a fellow Scientologist

Although he has two famous parents, Connor Cruise has managed to live a relatively private life. After dabbling in acting and DJ'ing, Connor now spends most of his time as a deep-sea fisherman. The 26-year-old lives in Clearwater, Florida, and has even competed in fishing tournaments. In 2018, his team came in 3rd for the Rotary Club of Clearwater's Kingfish Tournament (via Distractify ). In addition, Connor has an Instagram account dedicated to his love of grilling called "Connor's Meatshack." 

As for his personal life, Connor reportedly married fellow Scientologist — an Italian woman named Silvia Zanchi — in 2019. Zanchi is thought to be a high-ranking member of the Church of Scientology, and there have been rumors that the marriage was arranged. The couple is rarely seen out in public together, and Zanchi doesn't appear to be active on social media. Sources are quick to point out, however, that Connor seems very happy with his life.

"Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater," a source told People . "He lives in his own home in a Scientology community. His life is deep-sea fishing. He has a lot of friends and seems very well-liked."

Tom Cruise and son Connor, 26, attend baseball game in rare public appearance

Tom Cruise took his son out to the ballgame.

The Hollywood star and son Connor, 26, went to the San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers playoff game at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Saturday night.

The Cruises may have been a good luck charm for the visiting team, too, as the Dodgers won 9-2 to even their National League Division Series at one game apiece. The Giants then won Monday in Game 3, giving San Francisco a one-game lead.

Cruise shares Connor with ex-wife Nicole Kidman. They also have daughter Isabella, 28. Cruise has daughter Suri, 15, with ex-wife Katie Holmes.

People generally don’t see Connor too often — he last posted a picture on Instagram in April when he was out deep-sea fishing.

Tom and Connor were also spotted together in London in 2019, where movie star dad was showing his son “some aviation basics,” according to People .

Fans have also not seen much of his dad recently, either. His long-awaited “Top Gun: Maverick” has been pushed back from its original release date of June 2020 until May 2022.

While moviegoers will have to wait to see him in the film, co-star Jon Hamm said it will be a real treat.

“I loved it,” he said on TODAY in September 2020. “It’s everything you hope it’s going to be. It’s everything I hoped it is going to be, and Tom obviously is perfect in it and amazing.”

Drew Weisholtz is a reporter for TODAY Digital, focusing on pop culture, nostalgia and trending stories. He has seen every episode of “Saved by the Bell” at least 50 times, longs to perfect the crane kick from “The Karate Kid” and performs stand-up comedy, while also cheering on the New York Yankees and New York Giants. A graduate of Rutgers University, he is the married father of two kids who believe he is ridiculous.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's Son Connor Cruise Shares Rare Selfie with Friends — See the Photo!

The 28-year-old son of Hollywood superstars threw up a peace sign alongside his golf pals in newly shared photo

Connor Cruise is all smiles on the golf course!

The 28-year-old son of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise shared a rare glimpse into his life on Saturday when he reposted a selfie with his golf buddies on his Instagram Story.

In the Story, Connor put on a smile and threw up a peace sign alongside two friends on the golf course. The eldest son of the 60-year-old actor rocked his usual golfing attire — a blue polo, a hat and sporty sunnies — as well as a smartwatch in the new photo.

The picture was taken at Belleair Country Club in Belleair, Fla, a city only a few miles away from Clearwater, which, as of 2019, Connor calls home.

The reshare was a rare post by the son of Hollywood royalty, whose last Instagram post, shared over a month ago , was also golf-related. In April, Connor posted a photo of himself alongside a fellow golfer at Pelican Golf Club, also located in Bellair, which he simply captioned “🏌️‍♂️⛳️.”

Though he attended Diesels’ show during Milan Fashion Week earlier this year, where he wore an acid-wash denim fishing vest — fitting for the avid angler — Connor isn't frequently photographed in public.

When he is spotted out and about, it’s often with his dad. The father-son duo’s outings have been captured a couple of times in recent years, including an appearance at a 2021 October Los Angeles Dodgers game in San Francisco. The pair were photographed sitting side-by-side in the stands as Tom took photos with fans.

Tom and Connor were also photographed together in October 2019 in London as they walked to a private helicopter together.

Details About Tom Cruise's Relationship With His Son Connor

When Tom Cruise was married to Nicole Kidman , the couple adopted a son, Connor Cruise , and a daughter, Isabella Cruise. After the couple split, Cruise married Katie Holmes, and they had a daughter together, Suri Cruise. It has been reported that the "Top Gun" star has distanced himself from Suri as she is not a member of Scientology. The Hollywood A-lister has, however, maintained a relationship with his two other children, and is rather close with his son.

In 2016, the Daily Mail offered a glimpse into Connor's life in Clearwater, Florida, where he drove a GT Mustang and spent time deep sea fishing on his $500,000 boat paid for by his father. He also spent ample time at the Scientology headquarters located in Clearwater where he was given star treatment. "The security treat him like a god, they look starstruck whenever he arrives and practically queue up to high-five him and say hello," a source told the Daily Mail at the time. Similar to his dad, Connor was heavily involved in their religion and lived in a Scientology community. "High-level church officials think it's imperative Connor carries the torch," the insider added.

Formerly, Connor was a DJ, but he had pivoted to focusing on deep-sea fishing. He runs a business, Connor's Meat Shack , which provides, "Wagyu, brisket, burgers, chicken, and ribs on chars, flats and smokers," according to the company's Instagram page. Over the years, Connor has bonded with his dad over shared passions. 

Why Tom Cruise and Connor Cruise bonded so closely

Tom Cruise's devout faith is well-known, and it is something that his son Connor Cruise has adopted as well. "Connor has been able to remain close with Tom because of Scientology," a source told People in 2019. The "Mission: Impossible — Fallout" actor was photographed with Connor in 2019 as the two boarded a private helicopter. Not only was it a rare public appearance for the father-son duo, but the pair was headed to the International Association of Scientologists together. "Tom and Connor stepping out together in London was a big deal," the insider added.

While the two do not make many public appearances together, they are supportive of one another behind the scenes. When the 2023 Academy Award nominations were announced, Connor showed support for his pops with a post on his Instagram Stories, listing the six nominations "Top Gun: Maverick" had nabbed, along with a row of trophy emojis, per Hello!

Even though Connor is the son of one of Hollywood's biggest stars, he leads "a pretty simple life in Clearwater," and spends a lot of time deep-sea fishing, a source told People in 2018. Connor's passion for fishing comes from time with his dad. "We used to go fishing a lot when I was a little kid," he told People in 2016. Another hobby of his as a kid was music. "I started DJing in my bedroom when I was about 13," Connor added. Tom was a supporter of his son's musical career.

How Tom Cruise shows support for Connor Cruise

When Connor Cruise was still pursuing a career as a DJ, he played a show in London and Tom Cruise showed up to give his support. "Tom walked in and went straight over to Connor and hugged him," a bystander told People in 2012 while mentioning that the "Edge of Tomorrow" actor stayed for the set to watch his son play. That same year, Connor returned the favor and supported his dad at work. He visited the set of "Oblivion" in 2012, which was an important time to be supportive as Tom Cruise had just finalized his divorce from Katie Holmes. There were claims that Tom's devotion to his faith had caused the split. "Let me be very clear about this. The Church of Scientology played absolutely NO ROLE in the divorce settlement talks at all. Period," the actor's lawyer, Bert Fields, told E! at the time. Four years later, while Tom was working on "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back," Connor once again dropped by to visit his dad. The pair exchanged a "loving hug" before parting ways, per People.

While Connor has grown closer with his father thanks to their shared involvement in Scientology, his faith has been rumored to cause a rift between himself and his mother, Nicole Kidman. When Connor tied the knot with a fellow Scientologist in 2019, Kidman was reportedly not invited to the ceremony, per Tom Cruise's wishes. "Connor worships the ground his father walks on and would never disobey Tom," an insider told Radar at the time.

Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman’s Son Connor, 27, Seen In Rare Photos With ‘The Sandlot’ Star

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's son, Connor, was seen dining in Santa Monica with 'The Sandlot' star Patrick Renna!

Tom Cruise   and  Nicole Kidman’s son Connor surfaced in a rare outing in Santa Monica, California, and despite steering clear of the Hollywood spotlight, he was seen with a familiar face — The Sandlot star Patrick Renna ! Connor, 27 was seen leaving a restaurant on June 15 with Patrick, 43, who memorably played Hamilton “Ham” Porter in the nostalgic cult comedy. Connor and Patrick enjoyed their meal at iconic Italian eatery Capo located on Ocean Avenue and were later seen outside the restaurant in photos engaging in friendly banter.

According to E! News , an eyewitness deemed the duo to be “in a good mood,” and said they laughed as they exited Capo. While Connor is clearly Hollywood royalty, he has successfully avoided a life in the entertainment industry and is reportedly an outdoorsman and fishing enthusiast who resides in Florida. He also loves barbecuing and launched a career as a food influencer back in 2021. Born in 1995, Connor Antony and his sister Isabella Jane, 29, were adopted by the world-famous couple at the height of their fame. The actors were married from 1990-2001.

Oscar winner Nicole went on to marry Keith Urban , with whom she has two daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. And rounding out his cadre of sisters is Suri , 16, whom dad Tom had during his marriage with Dawson’s Creek alum Katie Holmes. While Connor isn’t often seen with his parents, his dad once told Esquire that he was dedicated to always being there for Connor, Isabella, and Suri. “If I say I’m gonna take your call anytime you need me, and I’m in the middle of something on set, my world is gonna stop for you,” he told the magazine in 2010. “I made that promise to all of my kids…I know I’ve accomplished that. When I think of my successes, it’s right up there.”

It’s something the Top Gun: Maverick actor, 59, always wanted. “I always loved kids, but it was more than that,” he told Esquire . “It was this thought: What would it be like, being a father? Being the kind of guy who takes care of things?” In the end, Tom said of parenting, “you just want to feel like you gave it your all.”

By Michael Hein - February 16, 2021 05:35 pm EST

Connor Antony Cruise is the child of two of the biggest stars in the world right now, yet many fans are getting to know him for the first time. Now 26 years old, Connor tends to shy away from the spotlight in spite of his influential parents. Still, fans can glean a lot from his Instagram feed and sources close to his family over the years.

Connor was born on Jan. 17, 1995, and adopted by Cruise and Kidman when he was one month old. He was the second of their adopted children, following older sister Isabella Jane Cruise in 1992. For the remainder of their marriage, Cruise and Kidman's children lived relatively private lives , and they stayed out of the spotlight as much as possible even when Cruise and Kidman split in 2001.

The custody arrangement between Cruise and Kidman was never very clear to the public, but there were rumors of tension between Kidman and her adopted son. By contrast, Connor and Cruise have often been spotted in public together, apparently happy and sharing some common interests.

Connor has dabbled in acting and has also made a name for himself as a DJ. These days, however, he seems to be keeping to himself, and pursuing his love of fishing all around the Caribbean. Here is a look at what fans know about Connor Cruise.

Cloistered Rumors

A report by The New York Post in 2006 claimed that Connor and Isabella Cruise grew up in their parents' home in Manhattan, while a report by Hollywood Life claims that Connor grew up in Los Angeles, California. HL also reports that Connor was homeschooled and that he "didn't set foot outside his father's mansion until he was 10." This last claim is unsubstantiated.

'Seven Pounds'

Connor's first big step into the public eye came in 2008, when he appeared in the movie Seven Pounds . He was 13 years old at the time of filming, and played a younger version of Will Smith 's character Ben. Connor co-starred with Rosario Dawson and Woody Harrelson on the movie as well.

Connor's second and only other film role was in Red Dawn in 2012. He played Daryl Jenkins, co-starring with Chris Hemsworth, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Josh Peck, Josh Hutcherson, Adrianne Palicki and Isabel Lucas, among others. Since then Connor has been out of the movie industry, though it is not clear if that is by choice.

Relationship With Kidman

According to Hollywood Life, Kidman told reporters in 2007 that she had a "strained" relationship with Connor. This claim does not appear anywhere else, though in 2018 Kidman did explain why she is generally private about her relationship with her two older children. According to Hello! Magazine , she told the Hollywood Foreign Press Association: "I'm very private about all that," hinting that it had to do with her children's choice to practice Scientology like their father.

"I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it's what my purpose is," Kidman said. "They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them. I am an example of that tolerance and that's what I believe – that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I'm open here."

According to Hollywood Life , Connor has refuted rumors of tension between himself and Kidman, and has said that they are on good terms.

Scientology

As noted above, Connor is a lifelong practitioner of Scientology, having been introduced to the faith by his father at birth. In 2019, sources close to Connor confirmed his church involvement to reporters from PEOPLE , saying: "Connor and Isabella grew up in the church of Scientology, they've been members since they were kids."

The insider said that Connor and Isabella "are completely dedicated scientologists just like Tom," adding: "Connor has been able to remain close with Tom because of Scientology.... Connor lives in Clearwater, [Florida,] which is the church's main hub. He still deejays but he has really become a big fishing guy. He's content with living a quieter life." The source even said that Connor "is in a relationship with a fell Scientologist who also grew up in the religion."

"He lives in his own home in a Scientology community. His life is deep-sea fishing. He has a lot of friends and seems very well-liked," they concluded.

Connor and Tom Cruise have made some public appearances together in recent years — attending sporting events and sometimes movie premieres side by side. The insider told PEOPLE that even these sightings are related to Scientology in some ways. They said: "Tom and Connor stepping out together in London was a big deal. It was the same weekend that Scientology does their annual gathering called the International Association of Scientologists (ASI). Tom has attended numerous times in the past, but this appears to be the first time Connor has gone."

Finally, these days most fans get their fill of Connor Cruise on Instagram , where he does most of his interacting with the public. His posts have skewed more and more towards deep-sea fishing in recent years, with occasional commentary on sports, selfies with other celebrities and promotions for DJ appearances. Connor made headlines last month with a photo of himself holding a 200-pound yellowfin on deck.

30 Years Ago Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Adopted Two Kids- This is What They Look Like Today

I n the realm of Hollywood, where fame often casts a glaring spotlight on every aspect of one’s life, there exist enigmatic figures who navigate the shadows with quiet grace. Among them are Isabella and Connor Cruise , the adoptive children of legendary actors Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Since their parents parted ways in 2001, the siblings have largely eluded the public eye, cultivating a mysterious aura around their lives.

Cruise and Kidman, whose union captivated fans worldwide, embarked on their journey into parenthood through adoption. Isabella, fondly known as Bella, entered their lives two years after their marriage, filling a void left by a heartbreaking ectopic pregnancy experienced by Kidman. The family grew again in 1995 with the adoption of Connor, cementing their bond through shared love and commitment.

Despite their challenges, Cruise and Kidman remained dedicated to their craft and family. Their professional collaboration on the set of “Eyes Wide Shut” in 1999 served as a testament to their enduring connection, with Kidman recalling moments of joy amidst the demanding shoot. However, the idyllic facade shattered in 2001 when Cruise filed for divorce, marking the end of an era for the once inseparable couple.

Tom Cruise's adopted children were suddenly faced with an incredible challenge

In the aftermath of their split, Tom Cruise's adopted children found themselves navigating a new reality. Divided between their parents’ residences on opposite sides of the globe. As Cruise embarked on a new chapter with Katie Holmes, their children adapted to the dynamics of a blended family, forging bonds with their stepmother and half-sibling.

Despite their physical distance from Kidman, Isabella expressed affection for her mother in rare public statements. Affirming the enduring ties that bind their family together. However, significant family events, such as Isabella’s wedding in 2015, unfolded without the presence of her famous parents, underscoring the complexities of their relationship dynamics.

Where are they today?

Today, Bella Kidman Cruise remains a largely private figure, opting to keep her life out of the public eye. While details about her current endeavors are scarce, it’s known that she has pursued interests in art and fashion. Bella has occasionally shared glimpses of her artwork on social media platforms, showcasing her talent and creative expression.

Beyond her artistic pursuits, she appears to maintain a low-profile lifestyle, avoiding the trappings of celebrity culture. Despite her famous lineage, Bella seems content to carve her path on her terms. Away from the spotlight that often accompanies her family name. Her journey serves as a testament to her resilience and independence, forging her identity separate from the legacy of Hollywood fame.

Connor Cruise , much like his sister Bella, continues to lead a private life away from the glare of the public spotlight. While details about his current endeavors are limited, it’s known that he has dabbled in various creative pursuits. These include music and DJing, and fishing. Connor has occasionally shared snippets of his DJ performances on social media platforms, showcasing his passion for music and performance.

Beyond his artistic interests, he appears to maintain a low-key lifestyle, eschewing the trappings of celebrity culture. Despite being the son of two Hollywood icons, Connor seems to prefer anonymity. Focusing on his personal growth and pursuits outside of the spotlight. His journey reflects a desire for autonomy and authenticity, as he forges his path away from the shadow of his famous parents.

Nicole Kidman’s son: Connor Cruise - The Children of Famous Celebrities: Where Are They Now? Part 4

Connor is the adopted son of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. Their other two kids are Connor Anthony and Isabella. However, rumors abound that Tom Cruise has prevented the kids from seeing Nicole due to her not being a member of the Church of Scientology. Now, Connor prefers to stay out of his parents’ way as well as from the limelight.

Unlike his parents, Connor did not choose the acting profession. Instead, he is working as a DJ and regularly gets gigs in various parts of the United States. He is also a devoted Scientologist like his father. He currently stays in a Scientologist community in Clearwater, Florida.

Sam Elliott’s daughter: Cleo Cole Elliott

Cleo Cole Elliott has some good genes. Actor Sam Elliott is her dad and her mother is Katharine Ross – who you might know thanks to her role as Elaine Robinson in "The Graduate." Meanwhile, Sam’s most popular role was as Virgil Earp in the film "Tombstone." Cleo Cole, despite having actors as parents, pursued a career far from Hollywood.

Now a fully-formed adult, Cleo Cole is a musician who studied Italian opera. She later released "No More Lies" – her debut album which, unfortunately, failed to garner an audience. Cleo reportedly has been dealing with violent tendencies since when she was a child. When she was 26, her mother put out a restraining order against her as she issued death threats to her own mom.

Tom Brady’s son: John Edward Thomas Moynahan

John Edward was an adorable baby then, and he is just as adorable as a teenager now. He highly likely takes after his quarterback player father Tom Brady and actress Bridget Moynahan. Though John’s infant years were a bit problematic considering that his parents split at that time, while Tom was then pursuing a relationship with his now girlfriend Gisele Bundchen, everything seems happily ever after now.

Gisele expresses how much she loves John as if he was her own. John has half-siblings from stepmother Gisele. According to Gisele, she has always felt that John was no different from her own kids from the first day they met. However, Bridget doesn’t seem pleased with how John is being paraded around for the paparazzi to see.

O.J. Simpson’s daughter: Sydney Simpson

O.J. Simpson is the infamous athlete accused of allegedly taking his wife's life. Despite his notoriety, his kids managed to stay out of the public eye for the entire duration of his trial. Sydney Simpson is the youngest of O.J’s kids. According to O.J., he is planning to live with Sydney upon his early release.

Sydney is a graduate of Boston University who currently resides in St. Petersburg. She operates Simpsy LLC, a limited liability company, in St. Petersburg, Florida. Upon her father’s trial, she and her brother lived with their grandparents. But when she was in her teens, she went on to live with her father in Florida.

Madonna’s son: David Banda Mwale Ciccone Ritchie

David was still a baby when news reports heralded his adoption by the Queen of Pop back in 2006. Straight from Malawi, Madonna was adamant to adopt David. Now, David literally towers over Madonna due to his 5-foot-5 frame. Mother and son recently went back to the orphanage where they met years ago.

Posting on social media, the singer proudly captioned a photo “Crib where we met” to refer to the Home of Hope orphanage – the institution David was confined in. David is reportedly keen to pursue a career in soccer thus the Queen prepared the entire family to move to Lisbon, Portugal to support David’s dream.

The Heartbreaking Reason Why Tom Cruise Doesn’t Talk to His Daughter Suri

It appears that Tom Cruise has had a few encounters with his daughter, Suri, following his divorce from Katie Holmes . Currently, Suri resides with her actress mom in New York City, under her full custody. The last known public outing of Suri with her father was nearly ten years ago in 2012, during a visit to Disneyland, so we decided to find out what happened to their relationship.

Suri Cruise, 17, pictured with beautiful long hair as she heads off for last vacation with mom Katie Holmes before her 18th birthday

The daughter of tom cruise lives in new york with her actress mother.

Suri Cruise looked so grown up on Wednesday when she she was captured heading on vacation with her mother, Katie Holmes  from New York. 

The mother-daughter duo were pictured getting into a car with their luggage as they headed off for the Easter weekend. Suri's beautiful long hair took centre stage of the pre-holiday snaps. The 17-year-old donned a pair of fabulously vibrant red trousers covered in white swirls, a corduroy navy blue jacket with a shearling collar and black trainers. 

Meanwhile, mom Katie oozed glamour wearing an oversized army-green jacket and beige trousers. The actress slipped on a pair of dark sunglasses, and opted for a pair of chunky black sandals for footwear.

The mother-daughter trip came just weeks before Suri turns 18 on April 18. Katie is exceptionally private about her daughter, and whether or not she will go to college has yet to be revealed. 

However, Suri has been involved in two of her mother's movies, Alone Together and Rare Objects, where she can be heard showing off her impressive singing voice.

Therefore, it is likely that the youngster may want to follow in her movie star parent's footsteps for a career in Hollywood.  Listen to Suri's incredible vocals in the video below.

Prior to their latest appearance in New York, the duo were spotted back in December for  Katie's 45th birthday celebrations.  The pair couldn't have looked more similar in the photos.

Katie looked effortlessly glamorous,  sporting a grey and black leopard print maxi dress, which she paired with classic white boots. 

Meanwhile, Suri was wrapped in a cozy grey tweed coat, oversized maroon scarf and black pointed-toe heels.

He does however pay £400,000 a year in child support which will come to an end when she turns 18 in April.

The former couple had a whirlwind romance and were engaged in June 2005, two months after they started dating. They welcomed Suri one year later. The pair split in August 2012.

Katie and Suri couldn't be closer and Katie has previously opened up about becoming a mother at 27: "I was happy to become a mom in my twenties. It's been nice that our ages fit … how do I put this? Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together," she told Elle UK.

Suri Cruise turns 18 and is still estranged from Tom: ‘Not a Scientologist, never will be’

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Suri Cruise was once the most famous baby in America.

The arrival of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter on April 18, 2006, sparked a global frenzy for the first glimpse of the A-list infant.

But it wasn’t until five months after her birth that she made her debut — on the cover of Vanity Fair, wrapped in the arms of her doting parents, in glossy photos taken by photographer to the stars, Annie Leibovitz.

Now she turns 18 on Thursday and faces a choice: Whether to return to the level of fame she had as a kid — when there were blogs devoted to her fashion — or maintain the carefully-guarded life Holmes has built for her since she blindsided Cruise by filing for divorce.

The dark-haired teen has grown up in Manhattan largely shielded from the spotlight by her loving and highly protective mom, 45, far removed from her 60-year-old father’s Church of Scientology.

As Page Six revealed last year, Suri is estranged from her famous father and the pair have no relationship.

An industry source told us this week that the “Mission: Impossible” star has not seen Suri since 2012. “Katie has safeguarded Suri and she’s a devoted mom,” the source said.

“This is a girl who is a private citizen. She hasn’t lived her life in public.”

Holmes told Glamour magazine in 2023 that she likes to “protect” Suri from the public eye “because she was so visible at a young age.”

“I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She’s an incredible person. She’s my heart,” she added.

Being the only daughter of a protective single parent is a stark contrast to how Suri’s life began, of course.

“My whole life I always wanted to be a father,” Cruise gushed to VF back in 2006.

“I always said to myself that my children would be able to depend on me and I would always be there for them and love them — that I’d never make a promise to my kids that I couldn’t keep.

“I’m not one of those people who believe you can spoil a child with too much love. You can never give a child too much love. There’s just no way.”

He already had two adopted children, Bella, now 31, and Connor, now 29, from his marriage to Nicole Kidman and after her Vanity Fair debut was happy to parade Suri for the paparazzi.

Cruise had famously declared their romance by jumping up and down on Oprah Winfrey’s couch in May 2005, yelling “I’m in love!” 

But when Suri was just 6, Holmes filed for divorce after six years of marriage with the help of her dad, Martin Holmes, a fierce attorney, and through a secret plan that entailed using burner phones.

Cruise was taken completely by surprise by the filing while he was on the set of “Oblivion” in Iceland in June 2012.

He and Suri were last seen together at Disney World in the summer of 2012.

In November 2013, during a deposition in his $50 million court battle against a pair of tabloid magazines, the “Top Gun” star admitted that Holmes had filed for divorce “to protect Suri from Scientology,” court documents revealed.

Despite not having a relationship; as per their divorce agreement, Cruise, who has an estimated $600 million fortune, agreed to pay Holmes $400,000 a year until Suri turns 18 as well as future “medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs”.

Scientology lies at the heart of the question over Suri’s future.

Holmes, who rose to fame in the TV hit, “Dawson’s Creek,” is believed to have signed multiple non-disclosure documents that will prevent her from ever talking about her marriage to Cruise — and her time inside Scientology.

But when Suri turns 18, NY state declares that she is at the age of majority, when an individual is legally considered an adult.

That would allow her to speak about her father, his beliefs and their rift.

Tony Ortega, who has covered Scientology in depth for decades, told Page Six, “Suri would have been too young to sign any agreement, but she will now be free to talk if she wants to and it’s going to be really interesting if she has something to say.”

We have reached out to reps for Cruise, Holmes and the Church of Scientology. 

“Part of why Katie left when she did when Suri was 6 was that Katie would have seen Isabella and Connor going through Scientology,” said Ortega.

Cruise is of course Scientology’s most famous follower and seen as one of its most powerful figures, possibly second only to its leader, David Miscavige.

That power has led Ortega and former Scientologists to question what action Miscavige and other top Scientologists may have taken against Holmes and her daughter.

Regular members who quit are declared “suppressive persons (SP)” and those who stay in Scientology are told to completely cut them off.

“We don’t know for sure if Katie was ever declared an SP,” Ortega said.

“If you are a regular church member you could be told to disconnect from your wife and daughter, but because Tom is a celebrity — he’s  the top celebrity — he gets to ignore all this stuff.

“Your average member would be kicked out, but David Miscavige can’t do that with Tom.”

Both Mike Rinder and Jeff Augustine, two high-profile former Scientologists, agreed with this claim.

Augustine is married to Karen de la Carriere, who was one of the highest-ranking church leaders until she left in 2010 and told Page Six, “The situation with Suri is a larger story about Scientology and the subject of how they make people no longer useful to them or threats to them non-persons.

“It’s like they cease to exist and that’s what happened to Suri.”

Back in August 2020, Leah Remini — one of the most famous celebrities to leave and speak out against Scientology — told us that she believed Cruise, who now lives mainly in the UK , was waiting until Suri is older so he could indoctrinate her into Scientology.

Remini, who attended Cruise and Holmes’ November 2006 Italian wedding at the 15th-century Odescalchi Castle, said, “I’m sure his master plan is to wait until Suri gets older so that he can lure her into Scientology and away from her mother.”

Suri has tiptoed very gently into her parents’ showbusiness world while attending her exclusive Manhattan day school, singing “Blue Moon” in the opening credits of Holmes’ 2022 movie, “Alone Together.”

“I always want the highest level of talent,” Holmes said. “So I asked her! She’s very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing.”

Suri also sang in the film “Rare Objects,” which Holmes also directed.

Holmes will this year return to Broadway in a revival of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town”.

She has not remarried but had a six-year romance with actor Jamie Foxx which she kept under the radar before their split in August 2019 and went on to have a brief fling with  Nolita restaurateur Emilio Vitolo Jr. in 2021.

Holmes is careful not to speak out too much about her daughter, who is now preparing for college, once saying, “She came out very strong — she’s always been a strong personality.”

But she is now getting ready for her daughter to leave the nest.

“You want them to stay with you forever, but they’re these amazing beings, and you have to do everything you can to give them what they need — and then they’re going to go,” she told Town & Country in 2017.

“And that’s going to be very, very sad for me.”

As for the future, former Scientology spokesperson Mike Rinder, who has not seen his own two eldest children since he quit the organization, told Page Six, “Suri is not a Scientologist and never will be…she deserves love and sympathy.”

Nicholas Galitzine on ‘Mary & George’ Sex Scenes, Tom Cruise’s Influence on ‘The Idea of You’ and His Disastrous ‘Dunkirk’ Audition

By Marc Malkin

Marc Malkin

Senior Editor, Culture and Events

• Nicole Richie on the 20th Anniversary of ‘The Simple Life,’ Starring in ‘Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead’ Remake and Writing a Horror-Comedy 5 days ago
• ‘Femme’ Star George MacKay Spent Eight Weeks Bulking Up to Become a Violent Street Thug in the Queer Revenge Thriller: ‘It’s an Animal Thing’ 6 days ago
• ‘We Were the Lucky Ones’ Actor Amit Rahav Honors His Grandmother, a Holocaust Survivor, With Hulu’s WWII Drama 1 week ago

Nicholas Galitzine may have told his parents that he has a lot of sex scenes in “Mary & George” with both women and men, but that didn’t keep things from getting awkward when his mom and dad were by his side at the series’ London premiere.

“I was kind of in hysterics because there is nothing more uncomfortable than watching your son bed a number of characters even within the first few episodes,” the British actor, 29, tells me during a wide-ranging conversation on this week’s “ Just for Variety ” podcast.

Popular on Variety

Galitzine believes the sex on the show is “really integral to the plot and not just salacious.” While he also feels a genuine love developed between George and the king, “George’s appetite couldn’t be satiated.”

For the record, Galitzine says he doesn’t follow the news and gossip about today’s royal family. “I think that’s kind of symptomatic of my generation growing up in the U.K.,” he says. Although he does concede, “They’re certainly entertaining.”

Next month, Galitzine headlines Michael Showalter’s “ The Idea of You ” with Anne Hathaway. Galitzine plays Hayes Campbell, the lead singer of a boy band who falls in love with an older woman named Solène (Hathaway) after she brings her daughter to the group’s meet-and-greet at Coachella. The rom-com premiered at South by Southwest in March.

“That was one of the references in my head,” Galitzine says. “I think that’s my favorite scene actually in [‘The Idea of You’] because I think so much about what is talked about with this movie is obviously the more intimate scenes, but really I think the most powerful expression of love is the aftercare in a way and the connection after.”

As for his boy band performances, Galitzine looked to BTS and Backstreet Boys for inspiration. “I always reiterate: I am not a dancer,” he says. “I tried my best over having a few weeks of rehearsal, but these are skills that are honed for the majority of people’s lives. And my boy band members are all professional dancers. So I said, ‘Listen, you old shits, you better not make me look bad, OK?’”

Galitzine’s acting career began when he got a role in a play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. An indie with the late Luke Perry followed. His spotlight grew brighter when he played Prince Charming opposite Camila Cabello in the 2021 movie musical remake of “Cinderella” and as a prince of modern-day England in the queer rom-com “Red, White and Royal Blue,” co-starring Taylor Zakhar Perez .

But then there was his audition for “Dunkirk.” He says he “got very far” in the process. So much so that he was called in to read with director Christopher Nolan. “He starts reading the scene, [but] it’s not the scene that I prepared,” Galitzine recalls. He tried to improvise thinking Nolan may have been testing him, but then he froze. “I’m just staring at him for what feels like an eternity,” Galitzine remembers. “And I finally plucked up the courage to say, ‘I’m sorry, Christopher Nolan, you have the wrong scene or I’d just been royally screwed up by my team.’”

Most recently, there were rumors that Galitzine signed on to play Johnny Storm in “The Fantasic Four” reboot . While Galitzine confirms he had “conversations” about the superhero project, the part eventually went to Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things”), something Galitzine knew before it was announced because the two are friends. However, Galitzine called his team when the internet speculation got too loud: “I was like, ‘Guys, I’m sure it’s not true, but I have to make certain it’s not true. And they go, ‘Yeah, it’s not true.’”

Perhaps Galitzine will pop up as a guest judge on “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” He was turned on to the show –Crystal Methyd is among his favorite contestants — by his sister. He was once given a drag name — Anita Greencard — by a makeup artist on “Purple Hearts,” his hit Netflix romantic drama with Sofia Carson . A full drag transformation would happen on “Mary & George” when filming was delayed one day due to snowstorm. “My costumer became a drag king and I became a drag queen,” Galitzine says. “We sort of did the makeup for a few hours, and I kind of went around tormenting people…It’s so much joy. And I have to say the talent and the time that goes into doing this, I have so much respect for them.”

You can listen to the full interview with Galitzine above or you can download “Just for Variety” wherever you find your favorite podcasts.

Connor Cruise  and  Patrick Renna  are killing this boys' night out.

The son of  Tom Cruise  and  Nicole Kidman  was spotted enjoying an evening of friendly conversation with the  Sandlot  star and another pal during a visit to Capo Restaurant in Santa Monica, Calif., on June 15. An eyewitness told E! News that the group appeared to be "in a good mood," noting that they were laughing as they left the trendy Italian eatery.

Like Connor, Patrick is also a Scientologist, having helped open a new church outpost in Los Feliz, Calif., in 2013.

Tom Cruise's Daughter Suri Is Reportedly 'Free To Talk' About Scientology As She Turns 18

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes ' daughter, Suri Cruise , has lived a sheltered life away from her father's Scientology beliefs and public scrutiny. However, as she turns 18, she faces the decision to either embrace fame or remain private.

According to a Scientology journalist, Suri becoming an adult in New York will also allow her the freedom to speak about her father and the church of Scientology.

Katie Holmes Has 'Safeguarded' Suri Cruise From Public Scrutiny And Scientology

Suri has enjoyed a predominantly sheltered upbringing in Manhattan, shielded from the limelight by her devoted and fiercely protective mother, Holmes.

The teenager has been mostly kept away from her father, Cruise, and his religious organization, the Church of Scientology. According to a source who spoke to Page Six , the "Mission: Impossible" star hasn't seen his daughter since 2012.

"Katie has safeguarded Suri and she's a devoted mom," the source said. "This is a girl who is a private citizen. She hasn't lived her life in public."

With Suri's eighteenth birthday around the corner, questions arise on whether she plans to return to the spotlight or maintain her private life.

At the time of Holmes and Cruise's divorce, the actress was rumored to have signed various non-disclosure agreements, potentially restricting her from discussing her marriage to Cruise and her experiences within the Church of Scientology.

However, Suri, who will attain legal adulthood in New York State as she turns 18, has the freedom to speak openly about her father and his beliefs as she was too young to sign any NDAs during her parent's divorce.

Suri Cruise Is 'Free To Talk' About Scientology If She Wants

Speaking to the news outlet, Tony Ortega , a seasoned Scientology journalist, shared: "Suri would have been too young to sign any agreement, but she will now be free to talk if she wants to and it's going to be really interesting if she has something to say."

As Cruise is one of Scientology's prominent members, possibly second only to its leader, David Miscavige, Ortega raised questions about potential repercussions that Holmes and Suri could face.

"Regular members who quit are declared 'suppressive persons (SP),' and those who stay in Scientology are told to completely cut them off," he noted. "We don't know for sure if Katie was ever declared an SP."

Ortega added, "If you are a regular church member you could be told to disconnect from your wife and daughter, but because Tom is a celebrity — he's the top celebrity — he gets to ignore all this stuff. Your average member would be kicked out, but David Miscavige can't do that with Tom."

Former Scientologists Mike Rinder and Jeff Augustine echo Ortega's concerns about Scientology's influence on familial relationships and speculate on the treatment of Holmes and Suri within the church.

Augustine told the outlet, "The situation with Suri is a larger story about Scientology and the subject of how they make people no longer useful to them or threats to them non-persons. It's like they cease to exist and that's what happened to Suri."

Rinder particularly emphasized Suri's autonomy, asserting: "Suri is not a Scientologist and never will be…she deserves love and sympathy."

Tom Cruise Admits Katie Holmes Filed For Divorce To 'Protect Suri From Scientology'

According to Page Six , during a deposition in a legal battle against tabloid magazines in November 2013, Cruise disclosed that Holmes had filed for divorce "to protect Suri from Scientology."

However, despite their estrangement, Cruise, with an estimated fortune of $600 million, committed to providing financial support to Holmes and Suri as per their divorce settlement.

He reportedly agreed to an annual payment of $400,000 until Suri reaches 18, alongside covering various expenses, including "medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs."

Holmes also secured sole custody of their daughter, while Cruise retained "meaningful" visitation rights. Yet, public sightings of Cruise with his daughter have dwindled over the years, with sources suggesting Cruise has a diminishing role in Suri's life despite legal arrangements.

Tom Cruise And Katie Holmes' Marriage Was Strained Because Of Scientology

Cruise first famously professed his love for Holmes in May 2005, leaping on Oprah Winfrey's couch and yelling, "I'm in love!"

The former lovebirds reportedly tied the knot in a lavish Scientologist ceremony in Italy in 2006.

However, as time passed, insiders revealed that the "Batman Begins" actress was feeling increasingly stifled by Cruise's ties to the church of Scientology, which caused a strain in their relationship.

Six years after they tied the knot, Holmes initiated divorce proceedings, aided by her father, Martin Holmes, a powerful divorce attorney.

Employing covert tactics, including the use of burner phones, Holmes allegedly "blindsided" Cruise with the divorce filing while he filmed "Oblivion" in Iceland in June 2012.

Tom Cruise Says He 'Always Wanted To Be A Father' And 'Be There' For His Children

Growing up as the only daughter of a devoted single parent presents a stark contrast from the beginnings of Suri's life.

Born on  April 18, 2006, the teenager was initially thrust into the limelight as America's most famous baby and was even captured by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.

In the same year of Suri's birth, Cruise confessed to Vanity Fair  that he "always wanted to be a father."

He added, "I always said to myself that my children would be able to depend on me and I would always be there for them and love them — that I'd never make a promise to my kids that I couldn't keep."

"I'm not one of those people who believe you can spoil a child with too much love. You can never give a child too much love. There's just no way," he added.
