Early life and family: Is Connor Cruise adopted?

Isabella and Connor Cruise are the two adopted children of Tom and Nicole. Connor was born on January 17th in the year 1995 in Florida, United States of America. His famous parents then adopted him when he was just one month old.

Connor was reportedly unaware of his adoption until the year 2012 during a news conference for Red Dawn when a reporter asked him about his biological parents. A confused Connor then turned towards his dad in confusion.

According to sources, when Connor asked about his skin color, his parents told him that he inherited traits of Nicole’s ancestors from Australia.

After he learned that he was actually adopted, Connor said that his relationship with his parents would not be affected by the news and that most of his questions and concerns were then clear in his head, especially those concerning previous struggles with his parents. i.e, the fact that his mom did not do much to get custody of him during the divorce and Tom's inability to love him as much as he loves his biological daughter Suri.

His parents: Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman

The two met in the year 1990 while they were on the set of Days of Thunder. They later got married that same year.

Nicole divulged that she had an ectopic pregnancy early in one of her pregnancies, and this was a traumatic experience for her, hence the couple’s decision to adopt. In 2007, she revealed to Marie Claire magazine:

From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies...And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic.”

Sources claim that Nicole got pregnant again but suffered a miscarriage when she was bombarded by Tom filing for a divorce. The two got divorced in 2001, with Tom citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’

Connor Cruise and Nicole Kidman relationship

Some sources have claimed that Connor and his mom are close to each other. As the sources claim, this relationship is tense because she made minimal efforts to get her son’s custody during her divorce from Tom. However, it is known that Connor and Isabella stayed with Tom because they aligned with his way of life and shared his beliefs.

Nicole Kidman also mentioned that while growing up, her children Connor Cruise and Isabella Cruise never called her ‘mom,’ which she hated. They just referred to her as ‘Nicole.’ She said:

“My kids don’t call me Mommy, they don’t even call me Mom. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it.”

Surprisingly enough, the kids called Katie Holmes ‘mom’. They liked Katie so much that Isabella even told Tom not to let her go as she was ‘the one.’

Connor Cruise: What to Know About Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's Son

Connor Antony Cruise is the child of two of the biggest stars in the world right now, yet many [...]

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.

Isabella Jane Cruise: What We Know About Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman's Daughter

Coming off of the success of their earlier roles in film, Hollywood's heartthrob Tom Cruise and Australia's bombshell Nicole Kidman met on the set of "Days of Thunder" in 1990. The pair displayed a great sense of romantic chemistry on camera but their chemistry carried off camera, resulting in an 11-year-long romance. After getting married the same year they met, the two eventually sought out a life with children. In 1992, Tom and Kidman adopted their first child, Isabella Jane Cruise, and in 1995, they adopted their second child, Connor Antony Cruise.

As any father would, Tom suggested that he made a promise to be the best father figure for his little girl the same day she was born (via  Esquire ). Although many onlookers question his involvement in his children's lives, Tom — along with Kidman — strived to keep their firstborn away from the public, which is a life she seems to prefer. Though Isabella strays away from the limelight, we've gotten to see her grow into quite the spectacle. From relocating to London to owning a clothing line, Isabella Cruise seemingly cultivated a life she could be proud of .

Isabella was adopted after Kidman's traumatic ectopic pregnancy

Born on December 22, 1992, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman adopted Isabella Cruise shortly after her biological mother gave birth to her. According to the "Moulin Rouge!" actor, she knew she wanted to have babies shortly after tying the knot in 1990 (via People ). Unfortunately, her complications with pregnancy made this a difficult task. In an interview with Marie Claire in 2007, Kidman revealed that she had an ectopic pregnancy — a pregnancy that occurs outside of the uterus — at the beginning of her marriage to Tom. "It was incredibly traumatic," she told the publication. "What will be will be. It's in God's hands."

Kidman's sorrow quickly turned to optimism as she began to consider adoption. For her, there was no issue in doing so since she felt like there were no differences between raising a biological child versus an adopted one (via YouTube ). Luckily for Kidman and Tom, this worked out and they were able to hold Isabella the same day she was born. To Kidman, this proved to be a momentous occasion as she felt an instant connection with the newborn. "I look into those eyes and that crazy love happens — it's crazy love because you'll do anything when you have a child. It opens up a part of your heart you didn't even know was there," Kidman said (via the Independent ).

She stayed with her father following his divorce

In 2001, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's decade-long relationship ended. From marrying the same year they met, Kidman revealed that since they were madly in love, their divorce was a "shock to the system" (via E! News ). While it was a hard time for Kidman, the two had to cooperate as co-parents. Following their divorce, Tom and Kidman shared custody of their kids, Isabella and Connor Cruise. Still, Tom ultimately became a full-time parent as the pair decided to live with him in Los Angeles, California instead.

Though she made an effort to see them regularly, she has since suggested that she wouldn't mind them living with her. "They live with Tom, which was their choice. I'd love them to live with us [her and Keith Urban], but what can you do?" Kidman said in 2010 (via the  Daily Mail ). Kidman seemingly didn't want to force the issue as she knew that Isabella and Connor were old enough to decide what was best for them. Kidman revealed that she accepted their living arrangements since she felt like it was her responsibility to let them lead the life they wanted. "My daughter and son, their life is molded by the way I live," she shared (via HuffPost ). "If I wasn't willing to take on that responsibility, I shouldn't have adopted them."

At a young age, she learned how to respond to false rumors very well

Life under megastars like Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman can sometimes result in unnecessary attention from the general public. With her father oftentimes on the receiving end of harsh criticism, it can be tiresome reading crude remarks about him and watching it affect his livelihood as a human being. From prying interview questions to misleading rumors, Tom, on many occasions, has also found himself dealing with unnecessary public attention in a poor manner. While he usually tries to make smart decisions regarding his family's image, he suggested that Isabella Cruise is very good at keeping her composure in the face of false rumors.

During an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2008, Tom revealed that if something were to come out that caused Isabella and Connor Cruise to react negatively, he'd reiterate that everything is okay and not to get caught up by what the media says. "They've grown up with that ... I'm sure there's stuff that they don't like ... and you go, 'Okay, that happened, things go wrong, but don't live in it. Don't live in that because today is a new day and there's plenty of tomorrows,'" he said  (via YouTube ). "They're good people, my children. I'm proud of them. ... I don't want them to worry about anything."

She worked as a hairdresser in London

As the daughter of acting megastars, many assumed that Isabella Cruise would follow in her parent's footsteps. Though it would've been fulfilling to carry on their legacy — which Connor Cruise did briefly — Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman encouraged their daughter to follow her own path. As an imaginative child, Tom jokingly stated in an interview that Isabella doesn't seem to have an interest in acting. "I don't know if Bella will be an actress," he said (via the Daily Mail ). "Right now, she says she wants to be a bear when she grows up."

Instead, she decided to venture off into the world of fashion, a passion her ex-stepmom, Katie Holmes, entertained. After briefly working for Holmes' clothing line, Holmes & Yang, Isabella enrolled in Sassoon Academy in London to pursue a career in cosmetology. There, Isabella completed a 12-month diploma course which resulted in her getting a job as a hairdresser. Isabella then attended the prestigious institute, Delamar Academy of Make-Up and Hair — a university that is responsible for several of its graduates becoming hair and make-up artists in the TV and film industry. While she still doesn't show interest in working in front of the camera like her parents, the 30-year-old appeared to have an interest in doing hair and make-up for film.

She allegedly called her mother a 'suppressed person'

Following Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise's divorce, rumors began to circulate surrounding Kidman's relationship with Isabella and Connor Cruise. The sporadic nature of their split coincided with Kidman seemingly leaving Scientology — a celebrity-centric religion that garnered a bad reputation for its cult-like practices. From homeschooling to being under heavy supervision, many believe that the cause for Kidman's absence from the Cruise household is rooted in their opposing religious beliefs. 

In an interview with Who Magazine , Kidman stated that while she doesn't share the same beliefs as her children, she still loves them dearly. "They are able to make their own decisions," she told the publication. "They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them."

An excerpt from Leah Remini's memoir  "Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology" suggested that Isabella was not on good terms with her mother. In the book, the ex-Scientologist stated that she started to get close to the two kids when she was heavily involved with the Church of Scientology. Remini questioned the nature of Isabella and Connor's relationship with their mother. One day, the "King of Queens" star asked them if they visit their mother frequently. According to Remini, Isabella replied: "Not if I have a choice. Our mom is a f***ing SP [Suppressed Person]" (via Us Weekly ). Within the church, a "suppressed person" is a label used to describe anyone who opposes Scientology.

She didn't invite her parents to her wedding in 2015

Alongside her professional pursuits, Isabella Cruise seemingly built a life in London worth staying for. Although her family resides in the United States, Isabella prefers a secluded life away from intrusive photographers capturing every second of her life. In 2015, Isabella quietly got married to British I.T. consultant, Max Parker. With publications confirming the news one month after it occurred, Isabella opted for a small ceremony with only a few in attendance. Surprisingly enough, not even her parents got an invite for this momentous occasion.

The small ceremony was held at the Dorchester Hotel in London, with her parents nowhere to be found. While this stirred up questions regarding her relationship with her parents, reports state that Tom Cruise paid for the event — suggesting that he approved of the marriage. As for Nicole Kidman, she reportedly didn't know about the wedding, to begin with. Sources claim that the wedding was "Scientology-themed," which could explain the reason for her absence. 

Though we're sure Tom and Kidman are happy for Isabella, it raised further questions that the public wanted answers to. In one interview, Isabella attempted to put those rumors to rest saying that she's still in touch with her parents, despite their absence from her wedding. "Of course we talk," she stated (via Hello! ). "They're my parents!"

Isabella is a certified auditor within the Church of Scientology

According to Leah Remini, Isabella Cruise's childhood heavily revolved around Scientology thanks to her father. Through this, she, Connor Cruise, and even Suri Cruise experienced years of homeschooling, Scientology-based camps, and heavy surveillance under the Church of Scientology. Despite Nicole Kidman's opposing views on the celebrity-centric religion, Isabella held on to her beliefs as she grew up. So much so, that she eventually became a certified auditor within the Church of Scientology (via People ). In Scientology, auditors are higher-ups who help others through their self-examination process — ultimately guiding them as they convert to their religious lifestyle. Given the list of responsibilities bestowed on auditors, there need to be preparations in place for those seeking the position. 

According to Isabella's testimonial, she revealed that after a string of tests, she finally became an auditor. In her testimonial, she expressed her gratitude toward her father, her aunt (Catherine Cass Mapother), and the church for encouraging her to finish the training. "It turned out it was exactly what I needed," she stated (via Tony Ortega ). "I dragged out the testing and correction, just made it through the drilling and then finally began my auditing adventure, and wow, I wasn't prepared. This is what I had been searching for. The missing piece."

She named her clothing line after her mother

While Connor Cruise has multiple passions ranging from music to competitive fishing, a quick peek at Isabella Cruise's Instagram will show you that she's a person of many interests as well. Though her venture as a hairdresser seemed to be her calling, Isabella is not afraid to flex her artistic skills to her string of followers online. Aside from the occasional selfie, Isabella's feed is flooded with several dark conceptual pieces mixed with portraits of public figures, like Guy Fieri. Isabella, however, used her background in fashion to capitalize on her artistic vision. 

In 2018, Isabella flexed her creative muscles when she launched a clothing line named,  Bella Kidman Cruise . From T-shirts to tote bags, her online store has a wide range of self-made designs available for purchase. Aside from the incredible business venture, fans have grown aware of the fact that Isabella named the company after her mother, Nicole Kidman. Not only did Isabella pay homage to her mom with one of her designs that read  "Protect your mother and she'll protect you," but she also posted a portrait of the "Big Little Lies" actor in 2020 (via Instagram ). In an interview with Entertainment Tonight , Kidman expressed her love for this creative project, stating: "I think it's such a great way to express [yourself] and Bella is a beautiful drawer as well. She's always been able to draw."

She was a contributing artist for an art exhibit hosted by Courtney Love

September 17th, 2021, marked the 30th anniversary of Hole's debut album, "Pretty on the Inside." Coming from a punk influence, the band sought to tackle a range of topics regarding self-confidence, religion, parental neglect, and most importantly, women's rights. Paired with intentional anarchic-like instrumentation, this was the band's first major success — selling over 200,000 copies in the United States. To celebrate the monumental milestone, lead singer, Courtney Love, arranged a philanthropic event at Parliament Tattoo in London in October in hopes to support Treasure Foundation and Clean Break Women's Charities — both of which are organizations that represent similar values to their album was built around.

Through this, Courtney Love invited several artists to donate their work. As an artist who resides in London, Isabella Cruise participated in the event. In light of the news, Isabella announced her involvement in the art exhibition and expressed her gratitude on Instagram . "Is this real life?" she wrote. "I am beyond excited to be taking part in this exhibition with the incredible Courtney Love and Parliament Tattoo, to celebrate 30 years of Hole's Pretty on the Inside. All for charity. What a dream."

She's seemingly not close with Suri Cruise

Tom Cruise started dating Katie Holmes  in 2005. With Isabella Cruise living with him at the time, Tom had to be cautious of how she and her brother, Connor Cruise, perceived his potential love interest. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Tom revealed how they quickly embraced Holmes because of her love for sweets. From there, the two were more than happy to make her a part of their household — which made breaking the news about their baby sister a lot easier. On April 18, 2006, Suri Cruise was born, and according to the "Mission: Impossible" actor, they were extremely welcoming to their half-sister. "They were really excited about it," he told Winfrey (via YouTube ). "It was that whole thing of having a little sister. "

While Isabella had a close relationship with Suri following her birth, another nasty divorce reared its ugly head. According to Connor's  Instagram page , Isabella apparently maintained a strong connection with her brother since the divorce but left Suri out of their appreciation posts for each other. Considering that 2010 was the last time Isabella made a public outing with Suri, Holmes' sudden departure from the Cruise household potentially strained Isabella's relationship with her half-sister. Since the kids lead private lives, it's difficult to determine the status of their relationship. It's safe to assume, however, that Isabella and Suri aren't as close as they were when they were children.

Isabella is reportedly rebuilding her relationship with her mother

Following her parents' divorce, it seemed as though Isabella Cruise's relationship with Nicole Kidman was nonexistent. While divorce is hard for all parties involved, a string of events that occurred after their split made us believe that the Cruise kids were not on good terms with their mother. In 2012, Isabella revealed that they were still in touch, stating: "I love mom. She's my mom. She's great. I see her sometimes and I speak to her" (via the  Daily Mail ). However, in 2018, fans speculated that Kidman's relationship with Isabella and her brother grew sour since she left them out of her speech after winning an Emmy — even though she mentioned her other kids, Sunday and Faith Urban.

In addition to naming her clothing business after her, it seems that Isabella is taking the necessary steps to rebuild her relationship with her mother. According to RadarOnline , an insider told the publication that despite their prior differences, Isabella and Kidman are making an effort in improving their mother-and-daughter connection. "Bella and Nicole have really grown closer over the past few months," the insider stated. "They're both focusing on moving forward with their relationship." Although we're sure they never stopped loving one another, it is heartwarming to see the two mend their broken bond.

Early Life & Family

Connor Antony Kidman Cruise was born on January 17, 1995, in Florida, United States. He is of African–American descent and was adopted by veteran Hollywood actor Tom Cruise and his then-wife, Australian actor Nicole Kidman, a month after he was born (in February 1995).

Tom and Nicole married in 1990 and split after a decade, in 2001. The custody of both their adopted children remained with Tom. Tom was earlier married to actor Mimi Rogers (1987 to 1990).

Apart from Connor, Tom and Nicole had also adopted Isabella Jane Kidman Cruise (born on December 22, 1992).

After Nicole and he split, Tom got married to actor Katie Holmes in 2006. Their daughter, Suri Cruise, was born on April 18, 2006. Katie and Tom divorced in 2012, and rumors at that time claimed their split was caused due to Tom’s wish to introduce Suri to Scientology, which Katie was against.

Nicole, meanwhile, married singer Keith Urban in 2006 and had two children: Sunday Rose Kidman Urban (born on July 7, 2008) and younger Faith Margaret Kidman Urban (born on December 28, 2010).

Connor Cruise’s Multidimensional Career: Acting, DJ-ing, and Fishing

Connor initially experimented with acting. In 2008, he appeared as ‘Young Ben’ in the movie ‘Seven Pounds.’ In 2012, he was seen as ‘Daryl Jenkins’ in the remake of the action movie ‘Red Dawn.’

He later became a famous DJ. By 16, he was playing at big events and performing all across the United States and even in Australia. He was known by his pseudonym, “D.J. C-Squared” and made as much as $5,000 a night.

However, he now stays in Clearwater and spends most of his time deep-sea fishing with his ‘2 Shea Charters.’ In 2016, it was reported that Tom had gifted him a $500,000 fishing boat.

Connor and his fishing team once grabbed the third place in the ‘Kingfish Tournament’ of the ‘Rotary Club of Clearwater.’

His ‘Instagram’ account, “theconnorcruise,” which has gained more than 24 thousand followers, also shows him posing with his captures on his fishing expeditions. Connor has also posted photos of his Bullmastiff named Atlas, in the past.

He is on ‘Twitter’ since December 2011 and has gained more than 16.5 thousand followers on the platform.

Connor Cruise’s Devotion to Scientology

Reportedly, both Connor and Isabella were introduced to the religious concepts of Scientology by Tom (an ardent follower of the faith) quite early in life.

In fact, Connor stays in the headquarters of Scientology in Clearwater, Florida. It is believed that he lives in a three-bedroom town house in a community that is reserved for elite Scientologists. In 2016, he was seen driving around in a $50,000 yellow ‘Mustang GT.’ His lavish life consists of frequent visits to the ‘Fort Harrison Hotel,’ an upscale hotel meant for official gatherings of top-notch Scientologists.

He is also rumored to be associated with the ‘Sea Org,’ a group of the most devout followers of the faith who have signed one-billion-year contracts promising their loyalty to Scientology.

In early 2019, Connor was seen leaving a Beverly Hills-based Italian restaurant, ‘Madeo,’ with his father, and people assumed he was traveling with him to Los Angeles.

Connor Cruise’s Relationships: His Marriage to Silvia Zanchi

Connor was earlier romantically linked with model Phylicia Bugna. In mid-2019, however, it was reported that Connor was going to get married to fellow Scientologist Silvia Zanchi in a Scientology ceremony. Silvia is from Bergamo, Italy, and is now dedicated to the service of Scientology in Belleair, Florida.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Qpx8MeGxtf/

However, it was also reported that Tom had suggested that Nicole banned from the wedding, and Connor had complied. It is believed, Nicole has been branded a “suppressive person” by the Church of Scientology, meaning an anti-social person who spreads negativity and should be avoided by all. This is probably because Nicole does not believe in the faith and is a devout Catholic.

In 2015, Nicole had been banned from attending the wedding of Connor’s sister, Isabella, too. Isabella is a fashion designer now and lives in London with her husband, Max Parker.

Nicole had apparently not mentioned her adopted children in her thanking speech after winning the ‘Golden Globe’ for ‘Big Little Lies’ in 2018. However, Nicole has always claimed that she is not against Connor or Isabella’s faith. She also claimed that she does not mention them because she likes to keep their lives private.

Connor Cruise posts rare glimpse into his private life on his birthday vacation

While Connor Cruise — the son of actors Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise — isn't super active on social media, the 26-year-old recently reaffirmed his love for the hobby that dominates his Instagram page: deep-sea fishing.

In a snapshot from his birthday trip to Costa Rica, Cruise holds up a formidable yellowfin tuna that nearly rivals his height.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CKpdyaJhWxW

"Yellowfin were chewing today," Cruise captioned the post, tagging Los Suenos Resort and Marina. According to its website, the spot features the world's best offshore marlin fishery.

Much of Cruise's Instagram activity centers on showcasing the fish that he catches — one of the few aspects of his personal life that he shares online. He and his older sister, Bella Kidman Cruise — who were both adopted by Kidman and Tom Cruise during the divorced couple's decade-long marriage — tend to stay pretty private, despite their parents' Hollywood fame. Kidman Cruise's Instagram account is primarily dedicated to her artwork, with a few rare selfies sprinkled in here and there.

Taking after their father, the siblings are members of the controversial Church of Scientology . Kidman doesn't share those beliefs but has been vocal about supporting her children's religious choices in the past.

"They are able to make their own decisions," the star of 'The Undoing' told Australia's Who Magazine in 2018. "They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them. And 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."

Similarly, Kidman discussed how she also respects their desire to remain out of the spotlight.

“I’m very private about all that," she said, referring to Cruise and Kidman Cruise. "I have to protect all those relationships."

Tom Cruise made a rare public outing with his son Connor for a 'Mission Impossible' event in New York

• Tom Cruise and his son Connor made a rare public appearance together in New York on Saturday.
• The two were photographed on their way to an event for Cruise's new "Mission Impossible" film.
• Cruise shares two children with ex Nicole Kidman: 28-year-old Connor, and 30-year-old Isabella.

Tom Cruise made a rare public appearance with his son Connor in New York on Saturday, and Cruise's older sister also tagged along for the outing. 

According to Entertainment Tonight's Jackie Willis , Cruise, Connor, and Cruise's sister Lee Mapother were photographed heading to an event at the AMC movie theater in Times Square on Saturday. The event was reportedly to promote Cruise's new film "Mission Impossible — Dead Reckoning."

Photos obtained by Entertainment Tonight show Cruise in a black collared shirt, dark-wash jeans, and sunglasses, while Connor was seen in a gray polo, jeans, and sneakers. 

Cruise shares Connor, 28, with his ex-wife Nicole Kidman. The couple, who were married from 1990 to 2001 , also adopted 30-year-old Isabella.

Isabella and Connor have both kept a lower profile in recent years, but Connor and Cruise were spotted at a Los Angeles Dodgers game in 2013. 

Like their father, both Connor and Isabella are Scientologists , at least according to a 2018 interview Kidman did with Australian magazine Who. 

"They have made choices to be Scientologists, and, as a mother, it's my job to love them," Kidman said in the interview . "And 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."

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.

5 Shocking Facts About Connor Cruise’S Life

The surprising life of connor cruise: unveiling the lesser-known.

Connor Cruise might not be the name that incites the same mass hysteria as the Mission Impossible theme, but his life’s narrative is every bit as riveting and complex as any Hollywood thriller. It’s a cocktail of luxury and struggle, fame’s shadow, and individual triumph. So let’s don the proverbial sunglasses and gaze into the enigma that is Connor Cruise’s life tapestry, daring to unravel the lesser-known, occasionally shocking, threads of his existence.

The Origins of Connor Cruise: A Glimpse into His Early Years

Connor Cruise’s Birth and Adoption Story

Born on January 17, 1995, in Florida, Connor Cruise’s entry into the world was a headline before he could even utter a word. Swiftly adopted by Hollywood royals Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, his life was set to follow an extraordinary script. Unlike the storylines his father often tackles, Connor’s origins come without stunts but are just as compelling.

Growing up with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman

Rising between the titans of the silver screen, Connor navigated a childhood spun with golden threads and paparazzi flashes. Homeschooling and select private institutions shaped his education, but it was the school of fame that taught him the nuanced art of dodging tabloids and nurturing privacy within public whimsy. Indeed, the duo of Tom and Nicole represented the brightest lights on any marquee, casting both an incandescent glow and a long shadow on their son’s young psyche.

Connor’s Relationship with Scientology: Deep Ties and Impact

Understanding Scientology’s Role

For Connor, Scientology wasn’t just a faith; it was familial fabric, woven into daily life with the certitude and zeal that only the Church’s devout followers would know. From the outside, it’s viewed as veiled and vexing, but for Connor, it spelled out the tenets by which he navigated the strange world of growing up Cruise.

Effects on Family Dynamics and Personal Life

The controversial creed indeed stirred the pot of family dynamics, especially post the Nicole-Tom tableau dissolution. Nicole Kidman, who had her own separate spiritual pursuits, reportedly felt a distinct disconnect from the children who chose to live with Cruise following the split. This knot in the family tapestry didn’t sever ties entirely, for Kidman has asserted contact with Connor and his sister Isabella ( hinting you to discover ).

Navigating the Shadow of Celebrity: Connor Cruise’s Career and Identity

Struggles and Triumphs in Establishing an Independent Career

Despite dipping his toes in his father’s ocean, the siren song of music beckoned, and thus, the persona of DJ C-Squared was birthed. Stepping out from behind the blockbuster shadow, his turntables summoned a different applause, eclectic and reverberating with its own rhythm.

Building a Name Beyond his Parents’

To launch from the orbit of TomKat is no small feat; Connor’s trajectory towards a name untethered is ongoing, fascinating, as it is complex. A story that questions if it’s possible for progeny of such magnitude to ink their chapter without the ink being shaded by their forebears’ legacy.

Luxurious Living – An Insider’s Peek

Bustling between Beverly Hills manors, and the hush of Scientology’s sanctums, Connor’s existence is embroidered with the opulent, the decadent — a lifestyle where silver platters aren’t mere metaphors. From high-octane vehicles to vacation locales that dazzle the common man’s Google Earth, it’s the high life with a capital H.

Private Struggles: The Price of Celebrity Offspring

Yet, for every swig of champagne at galas, there’s a chaser of scrutiny, the cocktail of a life lived in the fishbowl. The chase for authenticity becomes a tightrope of public image versus private reality, a battle to differentiate the son from the stars, and find meaning amidst a narrative partially penned by gossip and glare.

When the curtains fall and the red carpet rolls up, Connor steps into the persona less lit by flashbulbs. A lover of the sea, he captains deep-sea adventures and finds solace in the company of fellow fishing aficionados, hooking marlins instead of headlines. His Instagram, a mosaic of aquatic exploits and DJ booth snapshots, hints at an everyday guy beneath the bespoke suits.

Insights into Connor’s Social Circle and Relationships

Peek into Connor’s clique and you catch echoes of intrigue, names like Brandon Mychal smith intertwining within. He maneuvers a social labyrinth that is at once enviable and impenetrable, his inner sanctum guarded but not grim, friendships forged on common ground rather than shared front pages.

Conclusion: Understanding Connor Cruise’s Multifaceted World

In penning the final passage of this glance into Connor Cruise’s existence, one is struck by the vivid duality of his narrative: the glitz and the covert, the family ties and the individual carving. From the luminous bowers of Hollywood to the elusive folds of his personal solace, Connor’s story is an anthology of lessons in the resilience and creativity required to draft one’s script within the bounds of an epic saga. A testament to the continued quest for authenticity in a narrative that’s cinematically, almost impossibly, his own.

From his Hollywood lineage to his underwater escapades, there’s way more to him than meets the eye.

And just think, the stories those two could tell would probably have us hanging off every ledge in suspense!

Secret Athlete or Under-the-Radar Rockstar?

Now, speaking of surprises, Connor isn’t just another pretty face in Tinsel Town. Nope, he’s gone and done a bit of a switcheroo on us. Instead of following in the family footsteps of blockbuster movies and red carpets, Connor went full throttle with his passion for fishing. Yeah, you heard me right—fishing! He’s not just a hobbyist, though; the guy’s practically a pro. Now, fish tales aside, another nugget that’s lesser known is his DJ career. Word on the street is that he goes by the name of DJ C-Squared. I’d wager a few clams that his beats are as smooth as his reel-in technique. And speaking of beats, if you’re looking for that blend of musical rhythm that gets you feeling like you’re Andre Rock , Connor’s got you covered.

A Cruise in a Different Direction

Alright, grab your popcorn because this is where things really get interesting. You know how most kids dip their toes into a bit of everything before they find their groove?

Does the Apple Fall Far from the Tree?

Hang on to your hats, because we might just see Connor follow in the fam’s footsteps after all. Rumors are swirling that he might dabble in acting. Could we see him in pulse-pounding flicks like Where can i watch john wick ? Who knows! He’s got the genes, the Cruise charm, and he’s got the insider scoop—so I wouldn’t bet against it. Keep an eye out on your newsfeed, because you never know when he’ll make his silver screen splash.

The Spotlight on Personal Growth

Lastly, a little birdie told me that this young Cruise has been on one heck of a personal journey. He’s been soaring, exploring, and morphing into his own man—and that, dear readers, is the tango of life. Whether he’s channeling his inner survivalist on the high seas or spinning tracks that would make Jj Feild want to bust a move, Connor is smashing expectations. And there’s a lesson in that for us mortals—find your groove, dance to it, and the world will move with you.

I’d say that’s a wrap for our trivia on Connor Cruise. Who’d have thought that behind the famous last name lies a fellow juggling beats, baits, and possibly, box office hits? Yup, just like the anticipation of Squid Games season 2 , the world watches and waits to see Connor’s next big move!

– Katie Holmes’ mini-me, Suri, is a Cruise production too. Yep, the pair’s whirlwind romance fast-forwarded to them welcoming their only gemeinsames kind. Though now, the “Mission: Impossible” star seems to have the father-daughter duo on pause.

Who is Tom Cruise’s son?

– It’s like trying to spot a rare bird, catching a glimpse of Tom Cruise and his youngest, Suri, together these days. Once a dynamic duo, they’ve now gone their separate ways, living detached lives since she was a paparazzi favorite tot.

– Oh boy, why Tom ducks out from Suri’s life is Hollywood’s million-dollar question. Whispers in Tinseltown suggest he’s estranged from his 17-year-old daughter, with Dad and daughter leading separate lives, far from any red carpet rendezvous.

Does Nicole Kidman have a relationship with her daughter Bella?

– Nicole Kidman keeps her cards close to her chest, but she hasn’t folded when it comes to Bella. Despite their kids opting to live with Cruise, Kidman asserts she’s still very much in touch, so it seems their mother-daughter bond is alive and kicking!

Why did Tom Cruise abandoned his daughter?

– The mystery of Tom Cruise’s withdrawal from Suri’s world has fans scratching their heads. Post the split with Holmes, he’s been about as present as a ghost at a feast, a glum turn from their early, spotlight-hogging days.

Where does Tom Cruise’s son live?

– Connor Cruise, y’know, Tom’s son, well, he’s all grown up and living his own life. Although hush-hush on the deets, he’s been known to reside stateside, soaking up the Florida sun where he first made his entrance into the world.

What religion is Tom Cruise?

– Now, if we’re chit-chatting about beliefs, Tom Cruise is a devout Scientologist. He’s been synonymous with the church for ages, flying their flag high in Hollywood and beyond. It’s no secret – the man’s faith takes center stage!

Why did Tom Cruise give up Suri?

– Giving up on someone isn’t really the Cruise style, but the celebrity circuit keeps buzzing about why he’s MIA from Suri’s life. Decoded, it seems Tom’s not actively involved, and the 411 on their father-daughter dynamic gets murkier than fog on a London morn.

How many times has Tom Cruise been married?

– Tom Cruise’s heart has been airborne and crash-landed back down – three times, in fact. He’s had a hat trick of marriages, having tied the knot with Mimi Rogers, then Nicole Kidman, and later Katie Holmes. Each saga’s had more twists than a pretzel!

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise’s kids Connor and Isabella step up in Scientology

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise’s adopted children, Isabella and Connor, are taking prominent new roles in the Church of Scientology.

Three weeks ago, Tom Cruise’s daughter Isabella had a message for the followers of Scientology.

“This IS what I had been searching for. The missing piece. Suddenly everything began to make sense.”

The New York Post reports that in a post for a church newsletter, the 28-year-old enthused about her new role as an auditor in the religion — meaning she interviews other members and gets them to talk through their shortcomings and their deepest secrets.

Her announcement sent “a message to the rank and file that the celebrities are doing their part,” said Tony Ortega, author of Battlefield Scientology: Exposing L. Ron Hubbard’s Dangerous Religion .

What it also suggests is that the Cruise kids, after laying low for years, are ready to step into the spotlight. According to insiders, Isabella and her younger brother, Connor, 26, are not just members of the church — they’re promoters of it.

As the New York Post recently reported, Cruise is considered a “deity” in the religion. But over the past decade, the actor has gone quiet about his faith of 30 years. He was publicly pilloried in 2008 after his interview with Oprah turned into a Scientology preaching session, and a promotional video, made for the church, showed the actor laughing heartily while talking about “rehabilitating criminals, bringing peace and uniting cultures.”

(Representatives for Cruise did not respond to a request for comment.)

But that doesn’t mean that his children, who he adopted with his second wife, actress Nicole Kidman, can’t take up the banner.

In fact, after years of being known as a heartbreaker on the Scientology scene, Connor is said to be dating a rising star of the church. Silvia Zanchi is a 26-year-old from Italy who works at the organisation’s Belleair mission, near Clearwater, Florida, which serves as Scientology’s power base.

She, too, belongs to a Scientology family and is said to be a prolific recruiter.

“Silvia is pretty, vivacious, very nice and gung ho about Scientology,” said Mary Kahn, a former church member who had been affiliated with the same mission project as Zanchi.

According to church literature, Zanchi has already completed preparations to study the church’s secretive OT, or Operating Thetan, levels.

Ortega said that the Cruise kids’ increased visibility in the religion — which is said to be struggling through a 20-year membership decline — sends a powerful message.

“Going public in this manner adds up to the Cruise family showing support for [Scientology leader] David Miscavige,” Ortega explained. “Miscavige needs to shore up support for Scientology. The Cruises set an example, which is huge in terms of his holding onto wealthy donors.”

Cruise was introduced to the church in the 1980s by his first wife, actress Mimi Rogers, whose father ranked among the original members. Cruise himself has claimed that a learning system created by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard led to him overcoming childhood dyslexia. It’s one of the things that helped turn him into a true believer.

After he split with Rogers in 1990 and married Nicole Kidman the same year, she began taking courses with the church. But by the time the couple adopted Isabella in 1992 and Connor in 1995, the family had drifted away from Scientology. In 1997, Kidman told the Sydney Morning Herald, “I wouldn’t classify myself as a Scientologist, but my husband is.” At some point, he renewed his dedication and she did not. The two divorced in 2001.

“The (custody) agreement was 50/50,” said Ortega. “Nicole went to Australia and Tom stayed in (California) with the kids. He raised them as Scientologists and they have always been strong Scientologists.”

As a result, Connor and Isabella have reportedly been long estranged from their adoptive mother.

In actress Leah Remini’s memoir, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology , the former church member recalled being at Cruise’s 2006 wedding to Katie Holmes and asking the children if they’d seen their mother recently.

“Our mum is a f**king SP,” Isabella told Remini. Kidman had been declared a “suppressive person” by church leaders, meaning she did not support Scientology and that members were forbidden to communicate with her.

However, Connor told Woman’s Day in 2014 that he still had a relationship with his mother even if they aren’t seen together.

“I love my mum,” he said. “I don’t care what people say, I know that me and Mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything. Yeah, I love my music, but the family comes before everything else.”

Growing up largely without Kidman’s presence, Connor and Isabella spent a lot of time with other kids in their religion.

One former Scientologist remembered hanging out with Connor and other young church members when they were teenagers in Los Angeles.

“He was a cool dude. We weren’t allowed to discuss (Connor’s parents) and he never brought it up,” said the former Scientologist, who joined the church at age 7 with her family but left last year. “Connor always had money and we were all poor because we worked for Scientology. We were happy when he went out with us because he was generous enough to pay.”

Connor — who has dabbled at being a DJ and is now a fishing guide — is said to live mostly in Florida. According to insider Aaron Smith-Levin, 38, who left the church in 2013, “The local Scientology community (there) is like a big high school, and Connor is the star jock. Everybody knows him and wants to go out on his big-ass fishing boat.”

It makes sense that Connor wound up with Zanchi, who is originally from Bergamo, Italy. A rising star in Scientology, she was part of an “Executive Committee” that, in 2015, delivered the most training and auditing services, while competing against missions around the world for the annual LRH Birthday Game.

Although Connor recently tweeted a denial of any impending nuptials, “She is exactly who Tom would want Connor to marry,” said Kahn.

Indeed, the actor was spotted with the couple at Disney World in December.

News of the romance has left a trail of broken hearts, said Smith-Levin.

“There have been a lot of girls spurned. Young Scientology girls are generally trying to get to Connor.”

If there is a wedding, ex-Scientologist Geoff Levin said Kidman’s attendance “would be forbidden.”

Neither parent was at the nuptials between Isabella and Max Parker, an IT consultant, which took place in 2015 at the Dorchester Hotel in London.

Parker is reportedly not a church member, and the couple lives in a modest, semi-detached home in the drab Croydon section of London, where, a neighbor has told The Sun newspaper, they keep “a reptile of some kind” near the window.

Isabella launched the fashion company BKC, which stands for Bella Kidman Cruise, and dropped a line of T-shirts featuring her illustrations in 2018.

In her role as an auditor for Scientology, she asks participants questions and monitors their responses via an E-meter — basically a primitive lie-detector.

“A mild (electrical) current goes through your body and the machine registers adjustments in resistance, which seemed to change based on thought and emotion,” said Levin, who said that he had built some of these devices for the church.

According to the former Scientologist, who also went through the process of becoming an auditor, the training usually involves four to six months of classes, at a total cost of $US20,000 to $US30,000.

The former Scientologist told the New York Post there may have been some nepotism involved in Isabella’s training. Typically, she said, auditors are on staff and work regular hours at a Scientology centre.

“She is not on staff,” said the former Scientologist, who asked to remain anonymous due to pending litigation against the church. “I don’t know why she did the training. Maybe her dad (said) that she needed to be trained. It wouldn’t surprise me. He is very intense and super into it.”

Ortega told the New York Post that “Tom is very proud of his daughter.”

(A church spokeswoman told the New York Post , “Someone does not have to be on staff to participate in auditor training.”)

Meanwhile, Cruise’s youngest child — 13-year-old Suri, with whom he reportedly has little to no contact since mom Katie Holmes pulled the girl out of Scientology in 2012, the year she divorced Tom — is said to have had no real exposure to the church’s teachings.

While Holmes has never publicly stated why she left Cruise, there has been rampant speculation that it had to do with Suri reaching the age of 6.

According to the church spokeswoman, “Scientology parents determine when to involve their children in their chosen religion.”

But 6 years old is the typical “age when kids start being indoctrinated into Scientology,” Ortega said. “[Holmes] saw what the older kids were going through and didn’t want that for Suri.”

The daughter of one of Australia’s most famous actors is all grown-up and following a similar path.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s daughter has been spotted in a rare sighting, and she looks just like her famous mother.

The former Neighbours star was seen living it up as he took a break from his stage show in Sydney.

Does Isabella Jane Cruise Have A Relationship With Her Adoptive Mom Nicole Kidman?

While Suri Cruise is the most famous sibling in the family, Isabella Cruise isn't seen with their mom often.

It's now been a full 20 years since Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were divorced. And since that time, both ex-spouses have remarried. Tom had his daughter Suri with Katie Holmes, and Nicole Kidman married Keith Urban and welcomed two more daughters.

But long before Suri became a household name, Tom and Nicole had their first two children together: Isabella Jane Cruise and Connor Antony Cruise. Because the two children were adopted, there was a lot of speculation about the family throughout Tom and Nicole's marriage, and well beyond, too.

And since both halves of the former couple have long since moved on, fans wonder whatever became of their first two children, and whether Nicole's eldest daughter, in particular, has any relationship with her mom.

Who Is Isabella Jane Cruise?

Isabella Jane Cruise was born in 1992 and adopted by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and much of her early life was kept under wraps. Today, Isabella is 28 years old and living her own life.

But as is common when discussing Tom and Nicole, the topic of conversation must turn to the former family's religious beliefs: Scientology. Whatever fans of the famous family think of the religion, it's clear that Scientology played a big part in the celebrity couple's former marriage, and in their children's lives (just like any religion).

RELATED: Why Nicole Kidman Doesn't Talk About Her Marriage To Tom Cruise

While Nicole seemingly abandoned Scientology when divorcing Tom, Isabella has stuck by the church and even written publicly about her testimonial with the negatively-reputed religion.

In addition to her religion, Isabella is interested in art and fashion (she created her own clothing line called Bella Kidman Cruise). She's even, reportedly, gotten married!

But is she close with her adoptive mom, or has something driven a wedge between them?

Is Nicole Kidman Close To Her Children?

Part of the reason why Scientology always comes up when discussing Nicole Kidman is that the common perception is that she abandoned the church when divorcing Tom, essentially 'escaping' from both.

At the same time, the custody arrangement specified that the kids stayed with Tom Cruise, which they apparently chose , while Nicole met and later married Keith Urban .

So a lot of onlookers speculate that Nicole also created a rift between herself and her two eldest children when leaving Tom and Scientology behind. After all, Bella Kidman Cruise seems committed to her religion, so if her mother is staunchly against it, might that cause some turmoil in the mother-daughter relationship?

There's also the fact that since Isabella and Connor were adopted, plenty of fans think that their relationship with Nicole isn't the same as the kind a biological mother would have.

While that's an unfair assumption to make, it's still made nonetheless, with a lot of fans wondering whether Nicole never really bonded with her two older kids.

RELATED: The Real Reason Nicole Kidman Didn't Attend Her Son's Wedding With Tom Cruise

Yet the issue of the family's broken religious beliefs seems to be the most commonly pointed-to problem, especially after an interview that Nicole gave where she spoke about her two oldest kids, whom she hasn't been spotted with in public since 2007.

Fans Believe Nicole Is 'Disconnected' From Her Daughter Bella

Fans largely seem to believe that Nicole Kidman is significantly disconnected from both Bella and Connor. In general, most sources claim that Tom turned the church and his children against Nicole, and that's why their relationship is, reportedly, in shambles today.

The thing is, there's no hard proof of any of this speculation; it remains speculation as long as Nicole nor Tom speak up about it. And neither is likely to air their personal business to the public.

As fans continued to speculate over the years, Nicole gave the odd interview here and there while working on films. In one interview, Nicole apparently said she doesn't text her husband Keith at all, and that she doesn't like email.

RELATED: Here's Why Fans Say Meeting Nicole Kidman Isn't That Exciting

But in the next breath, Nicole elaborated that "I have four children, so to stay in touch with them is very important." That, say fans, is a very vague comment to make just after saying she's not into technology, and that she prefers to keep communication with her hubby, at least, "intimate and personal."

Fans took Kidman's "impressively lawyerly phrasing" at more than face value, assuming that her statement was specifically stated so as to send a message to her two grown kids.

In short, detractors of Scientology claim that dissenters are "disconnected" from any loved ones still involved with the church because they're seen as being harmful to the believers' lives.

But, fans acquiesce, maybe Nicole just isn't the type to say "Yep, I text with my kids every day because they're like any normal adult children and don't wanna call their mommy anymore."

Tom Cruise and Son Connor Cruise Make Rare Joint Outing Together in NYC

Tom cruise and his son connor cruise, who he shares with his ex-wife nicole kidman, made a rare public appearance together for a mission: impossible — dead reckoning event..

It's safe to mark this father-son outing as mission: complete.

Tom Cruise enjoyed a rare day out  with his son Connor in New York City while promoting his new film Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One . The duo were spotted walking to an AMC Theater in Times Square alongside Tom's older sister,  Lee Ann Mapother .

For the event, Tom, 61, kept his look simple in dark wash jeans, a black button down and aviator-style glasses befitting the  Top Gun: Maverick  star. As for Connor, 28, he donned a gray collared shirt, gray pants and stylish sneakers while carrying a backpack. 

While Connor and his sister Bella Kidman Cruise —whose mom is Tom's ex-wife Nicole Kidman —largely keep their lives out of the spotlight, they have occasionally made public appearances with their dad. In fact, back in 2021, Tom and Connor wound up on the jumbotron while at a Los Angeles Dodgers game.

The DJ and Bella, 30, also occasionally give glimpses into their lives on social media. Connor, for one, is no stranger to sharing his outdoor adventures in Florida —on fishing trips or the golf course.

As for Bella? While she largely shares her art on social media , she took followers on her hair journey earlier this year, sharing a rare selfie showing off her new ‘do. In the snap on her March 29 Instagram Story, Bella debuted the new shoulder-length haircut complete with bangs, noting that the look gave her "so much joy still."

And while Connor and Bella largely showcase lives outside of their famous family, their parents have also spoken about keeping that relationship out of the spotlight, with Nicole explaining why it's important to her. 

"I'm very private about all that. I have to protect all those relationships," she  told  Australia's  WHO  magazine in 2018. "I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it's what my purpose is."

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

• View Author Archive

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.”

Tom Cruise pictured partying during daughter Suri Cruise's 18th birthday weekend

The mission impossible star shares suri with ex-wife katie holmes.

Tom Cruise is a father-of-three and on April 18th, his youngest daughter  Suri Cruise turned 18. 

The Mission Impossible star shares Suri with his ex-wife, Katie Holmes , and the birthday girl was pictured looking happy as she walked around New York City with a friend, while clutching onto a birthday present. 

Suri is thought to have celebrated more over the weekend with her mom, while Tom was pictured in London at another milestone birthday party. 

Tom was one of the many celebrity guests at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday , which was held at Oswald's. 

Other well-known faces in attendance included Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek and Marc Anthony. The Spice Girls also reunited, with Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, Mel B and Mel C posing with the birthday girl. 

Tom was all smiles in a number of photos posted on the night, looking smart in a tuxedo. As well as Suri, Tom is also father to adopted grown-up children, Isabella 'Bella', 31, and Connor, 29, who he shares with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

Bella lives in London and has a close relationship with her dad, having been spotted out showing her support for him on numerous occasions by wearing various Top Gun T-shirts, a nod to her dad's film. 

None of Tom's children have spoken out about their relationship with their dad in recent years and the actor is incredibly private when it comes to his personal life. 

When Suri was younger, however, she was in the public eye a lot more. She was born in Los Angeles where she was raised for the first few years of her life, before her parents' separation in 2012. She then relocated with her mom Katie to New York City. 

Katie has raised Suri to be incredibly down-to-earth and the pair have a close relationship. It's clear that Suri has developed her parents' talents for performing, and showcased her incredible singing voice back in 2022. 

Suri was heard singing the opening credits of Katie's film, Alone Together, when she was just 15. She sang a pitch-perfect rendition of Blue Moon, and her mom was more than proud. 

Chatting to Yahoo! Entertainment about her daughter's role in the movie, she said: "She's very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it and I let her do her thing. "That's the way I direct in general: It's like, 'This is what I think we all want - go do your thing'." 

The mom-of-one was asked why she chose Suri for the job and she said: "I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her." 

In 2022, Katie gave another rare snippet into her relationship with Suri, telling InStyle: "I love her so much. My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality. To make sure she is 100 per cent herself and strong, confident, and able. And to know it."
