It seems the bond between  Tom Cruise  and his children, Connor and Isabella 'Bella' Cruise, is going strong. In a photo shared last December , the 61-year-old  Top Gun  star is seen posing in a group alongside Connor, 29, and Bella, 31.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker, Derrick Brooks, shared the photo on Dec. 28, 2023, right before a hockey game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers.

"Good Evening, Wow, look who stopped by my office before our @tblightninggame tonight! @tomcruise," Brooks captioned the shot. "I was a little star-struck but played it cool and He said he was too."

It's a particularly noteworthy photo for the father-daughter-son trio, as it's the first public photo of the three since they were spotted in 2009, attending a soccer game in Los Angeles. 

Tom and his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman , adopted Connor and Bella when they were still married. The pair were married in 1990 before splitting in 2001.

While public appearances from Connor  are few and far between , he has been photographed alongside his famous father on multiple occasions over the years, including an appearance at an AMC theater in Times Square for a promotion of Tom's film,  Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning,  last summer. 

Before that, Connor and Tom were spotted 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 before boarding a private helicopter.

In addition to Connor and Bella, Tom shares 18-year-old daughter Suri with his ex-wife, Katie Holmes . Nicole, meanwhile, is also mom to daughters Sunday, 15, and Faith, 13, with husband  Keith Urban .

In 2018, Nicole shared why she's so private when it comes to her children with Tom and  how she feels about them choosing to be Scientologists  like their father.

"I have to protect all those relationships," she told Australia's  Who  magazine. "I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is."

"They are adults," she added. "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. 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 Kids: How Close Are They Amid Rumors Scientology Keeps Him From Suri

While he’s known as Mission Impossible’s  secret agent Ethan Hunt to most of the world, to Tom Cruise’s kids , he’s simply dad—and there’s truly no greater role than that.

Suri Cruise

Suri is Tom Cruise’s youngest child. The Academy Award-nominated actor welcomed his daughter in April 2006 with his then-wife, Katie Holmes, whom he first started dating in June 2005. The former couple reportedly got engaged that same year after only seven weeks of dating. Around the same time, Holmes, who was raised Catholic, reportedly began converting to Cruise’s Church of Scientology. The pair ultimately split in 2012, and it is believed that the Dawson’s Creek alum filed for divorce from Cruise in part to “ protect ” their daughter Suri from Scientology.

Holmes talked about how she wanted to give her child a normal childhood. She told Town & Country at the time, “My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now. It’s very important that I’m present and she has a stable, innocent childhood. I feel so blessed to do what I do, but there’s nothing in the world better than watching your child succeed.”

Connor Cruise

Tom Cruise’s only son, Connor, was born in January 1995. The  Risky Business  star adopted Connor shortly after his birth with his then-wife, Nicole Kidman. The former couple, who got married in December 1990 and divorced in 2001, also adopted a daughter, Isabella, three years before they welcomed their son.

Isabella Cruise

Isabella “Bella” Cruise is Tom Cruise’s eldest child. Bella was adopted by Cruise and his then-wife Nicole Kidman during their marriage, which lasted for a decade until 2001. Like her dad, Bella is a notoriously private person. What we do know about her is that she’s currently based in London, where she works as an artist and owns her own company. Bella is also married to Max Parker, an IT consultant.

When Bella got married in 2015, there was some speculation that she was estranged from her mother and father because neither attended the wedding. The artist has since shut down those claims, telling the  Daily Mail  in 2016, “Of course [we talk], they’re my parents. Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit.”

Tom Cruise Seen in Rare Photo With Children Connor and Isabella at Hockey Game

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

Tom Cruise was spotted spending quality time with his eldest children, Connor Cruise and Isabella Cruise , in a rare photo from a hockey game.

Derrick Brooks took to Instagram in December 2023 to share a group photo, which included Tom, 61, Connor, 29, and Bella, 31, smiling for the camera while they attended a Tampa Bay Lightning game. “Good Evening, Wow, look who stopped by my office before our @tblightning game tonight! @tomcruise,” the retired athlete, 51, wrote alongside the photo. “I was a little star struck but played it cool and He said he was too.”

More than four months after the photo was posted, the snapshot recirculated online . Many fans seemed to be interested with the picture because it marked the first time Tom, Connor and Bella have publicly posed for a photo together since 2009.

The photo documented a rare public outing for Tom and his two adult children, whom he shares with ex-wife Nicole Kidman . The former couple – who were married from 1990 until 2001 – adopted Bella in 1992, and they expanded their family in 1995 when they adopted Connor.

Following their split, Tom went on to welcome a child with Katie Holmes in 2006 before they tied the knot later that year. Tom and Katie, 45, eventually called it quits and divorced in 2012. Meanwhile, Nicole, 56, married Keith Urban in 2006 and they welcomed daughters Sunday, 15, and Faith, 13.

The Top Gun star has been known to keep his relationships with his children private , though it’s believed that he’s close with both Bella and Connor.

Despite having famous parents, Connor has chosen to live a relatively private life . Before the December 2023 outing, he was last photographed in public in July 2023 while attending a promotional event for Tom’s film Mission: Impossible ​– Dead Reckoning Part One in New York City. Connor may have been by his dad’s side for the event, though he chose to not pose for photos on the red carpet.

Meanwhile, Bella seems to be slightly more comfortable in the spotlight and posts rare photos from her of her art on social media . However, it’s not known how often she gets to see Tom and her brother because she currently lives in South London, England, with her husband, Max Parker .

Just like their father, both Connor and Bella practice Scientology. The Big Little Lies alum seems to have drifted from her older kids due to their differing beliefs, though she insisted that it’s her “job to love them” while making a rare comment about Connor and Bella during a 2018 interview with Who .

“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 ,” she said at the time.

Tom Cruise and Son Connor Spend Time Together in London During Rare Outing

The actor is a father to three children

Tom Cruise is spending some quality time with his son Connor .

On Friday, June 28, the 61-year-old Top Gun: Maverick star was seen departing a helicopter in Central London, as his 29-year-old son followed behind.

The actor waved to onlookers as he wore a pair of sunglasses, jeans and an off-white fitted top. Connor, meanwhile, donned a navy baseball cap, a black hoodie, jeans and some athletic sneakers.

The rare public outing between the duo comes six months after another public appearance, when Cruise was spotted with both Connor and his older sister, Isabella "Bella," 31.

Back in December, the trio were photographed together in an image shared on Instagram by former NFL player Derrick Brooks. In the photo, Cruise was front and center with his son, as his daughter poked her head through the back of the group image.

Cruise shares his two older kids with his ex-wife,  Nicole Kidman , and shares his 18-year-old daughter Suri with his ex-wife,  Katie Holmes .

In October 2021, the Mission Impossible star was seen out with his son at a Los Angeles Dodgers game . Before then, the pair were photographed  together in October 2019 in London.

While Bella often shares her artwork on Instagram , her brother tends to share glimpses of himself outside — and he usually updates fans with images involving golfing or fishing.

His last Instagram post came in April 2023, when Connor shared a snap of himself at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida.

In the photo, Connor gave a thumbs-up to the camera and wore some nice golfing attire. "🏌️‍♂️⛳️," he captioned the image, his first since he shared a shot of himself and some fishing friends in 2022.

While Cruise's eldest son has tried his hand at both  acting  and DJing, he isn't often spotted in public these days.

"Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater," a source  told PEOPLE  in 2018. "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."

Cruise's daughter Suri, meanwhile, recently became a high-school graduate this past month in New York City.

Tom Cruise may keep quiet about his kids, but the “Top Gun: Maverick” actor is a father of three.

The Golden Globe winner became a parent while married to Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001.

After struggling to conceive, the former couple adopted daughter Isabella and son Connor in 1992 and 1995, respectively.

Amid their divorce, the “Big Little Lies” alum suffered an ectopic pregnancy . After splitting from Cruise and moving on with Keith Urban , Kidman later welcomed daughters Sunday and Faith via surrogate.

As for Cruise, he moved on with Katie Holmes in 2005. The duo welcomed their daughter, Suri, in April 2006, seven months before tying the knot in Italy.

Holmes filed for divorce from the Oscar nominee in June 2012, and their divorce was settled the following month. Keep scrolling to meet Cruise’s kids.

Isabella Jane Cruise

Kidman and Cruise adopted Isabella shortly after she was born in 1992, and their daughter has followed in the “Mission: Impossible” star’s Scientologist footsteps.

In a March 2019 newsletter for the organization, Isabella thanked her dad “for everything.”

Although Kidman keeps quiet about her relationship with Isabella, she did speak about her adult children in a November 2018 Who interview .

“They are adults,” the Emmy winner said of Isabella and Connor at the time. “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 continued.

“I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is.”

Connor Anthony Kidman Cruise

Connor was also raised in the Church of Scientology after being adopted in 1995.

Cruise and Kidman’s adult son is active on social media and has documented his fishing trips, his new buzzcut hairstyle and more.

Over the years, Connor and his dad have been photographed on rare outings.

The duo watched basketball games together in Connor’s younger years, and have more recently been spotted boarding a helicopter and hanging out on the “Jack Reacher” set.

Suri Cruise

Holmes gave birth to Suri in 2006 and has maintained a close bond with her daughter.

The “Dawson’s Creek” alum told Town & Country in 2017 that she provides the little one with a “stable and innocent” childhood .

Cruise, however, still has “no part” of his youngest child’s life , a source exclusively told Page Six in March 2022.

In a 2012 defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media, the “Jerry Maguire” star said he didn’t see Suri for three months after his and Holmes’ breakup.

“Listen, when there is a divorce … things change,” Cruise said. “It’s not an ideal situation.”

Ex-Scientologist Leah Remini has asserted that Cruise “can’t be connected” to Suri because Holmes is considered a “suppressive person” or “enemy” in the religion.

Tom Cruise Steps Out With His and Nicole Kidman’s Son Connor for Rare Outing in London

Tom cruise and his 29-year-old son connor—who he shares with ex nicole kidman—enjoyed a family helicopter ride in london..

Tom Cruise 's latest mission? A helicopter ride with his son.

The Mission: Impossible star and Connor Cruise touched down at a heliport in London on June 28.

For their father-son outing, Tom donned a gray T-shirt, blue jeans and a pair of his signature aviator sunglasses. Meanwhile, his 29-year-old—who he and ex Nicole Kidman share along with daughter Isabella Cruise , 31—also kept things casual in a black hoodie, slate-colored joggers and a matching baseball cap that read "Pelican Golf Club."

The sighting comes just days after Tom hit up Taylor Swift 's Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium. On June 22, the Top Gun actor was seen dancing with a slew of celeb guests —including Liam Hemsworth , Mila Kunis , Ashton Kutcher , Greta Gerwig and Taylor's boyfriend Travis Kelce —inside the VIP tent at the sold-out show.

That same week, Tom and Katie Holmes ' 18-year-old daughter Suri Cruise graduated from high school in New York City.

Though Tom was not seen at the graduation ceremony, his ex-wife Katie was there to commemorate their child's academic milestone.

And in recent years, Katie—who divorced Tom in 2012 —has been adamant on keeping Suri out of the spotlight after she was "so visible at a young age."

"I really like to protect her," the Dawson's Creek  alum told Glamour  last year . "I'm very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She's an incredible person."

Though Suri did lend her vocals to the films Alone Together and Rare Objects , the 45-year-old noted that "both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people."

"It was very meaningful to me to have her there," Katie added, "because she's my heart."

For a complete guide to Tom’s family, keep reading.

Marriage to Nicole Kidman

Tom Cruise was in the process of divorcing first wife Mimi Rogers   when he met Nicole Kidman   making the racing movie  Days of Thunder  in early 1990. He proposed to the Australian actress once he was officially single and they tied the knot that year on Christmas Eve.

"It was that special connection when you recognize your soul mate," Tom told Vanity Fair   in 1994. "She is a person who understands. It was as if a whole new life had started for me."

They announced their divorce in February 2001 with a press release citing the "difficulties inherent of diverging careers which constantly keep them apart." Though it's unclear if Nicole agreed with that rationale.

"I'm starting to understand now [why we broke up]," she told  Vanity Fair  toward the end of 2002. "At the time I didn't."

Her ex, meanwhile, had told the publication earlier that year, "She knows why, and I know why. She's the mother of my children, and I wish her well. And I think that you just move on. And I don't say that lightly. I don't say that with anything."

Isabella Cruise

Tom and Nicole adopted their eldest child, Isabella , when she was born on Dec. 22, 1992.

Admittedly "scared to death" the first time he changed a diaper, Tom told  VF  in 1994 that he and Nicole "talked about children from time to time, but there was always the work. But then we went, When is it ever going to be the right time? That's how the conversation started. You're lying in bed at night and you're trying to sleep, so you roll over and you go, What would happen if we had this in our life?... One of the things that Nic and I talk about is that now suddenly we're a family ."

Nicole said they definitely planned on having more kids, whether by birth or adoption, preferably both.

"Isabella was meant for us," she told the magazine. "I think when things come into your life at a certain time you have to take them. It's destiny."

She later revealed to  VF  in 2007 that they decided to adopt after she lost a pregnancy. "From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies," she said. "And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that's when we would adopt Bella." 

"There's a complicated background to that," she added, "given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told."

Isabella, an artist and graduate of London's Delamar Academy of Make-Up and Hair, lives in England with husband  Max Parker . 

It raised a few eyebrows when the bride's parents didn't attend the couple's 2015 wedding at the Dorchester hotel in London.

"Of course, they're my parents," she fired back at Daily Mail Online when the newlywed was asked if she spoke to Tom and Nicole. "Anyone who says otherwise is full of s--t."

Moreover, only a few close friends attended and the groom's parents weren't there, either, his mom Beverly Parker telling the Mail they stayed away to avoid "a media circus." Calling the pair "lovely," she said, "I'm very pleased for them both and they're very happy."

Max told the publication that "you could say" his wife had foregone the spotlight, but it was "more of a weird situation for everyone else" than it was for them. 

Meanwhile, sources told  People that Tom approved of Max, was OK with not being there and he paid for the wedding, while Nicole was just glad her daughter seemed happy.

Connor Cruise

Connor rounded out the family when he was adopted at birth on Jan. 17, 1995. He's a musician and DJ, and reportedly lives in Miami.

Nicole married Keith Urban  in 2006 and they share daughters Sunday Rose , born July 7, 2008, and Faith Margaret , born via gestational surrogate Dec. 28, 2010.

Reflecting on how Connor and Isabella chose to live with their dad after the divorce, she told HELLO! , "I'd love them to live with us, but what can you do?" (They did attend the Kidman-Urban nuptials in Australia.)

Talking to Now to Love in 2014, Nicole called Isabella and Connor "generous, kind and hardworking," all "traits that I love to see in my children."

Several years later she acknowledged that both of her older kids were practicing Scientologists, like their father, but—contrary to rumors that religion had driven a wedge between them—that was neither here nor there.

"They are adults," the Oscar winner told Australia's  Who   in 2018. "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."

And, like his sister, Connor has never said a cross word about his mom.

"I love my mum," he told Australia's Woman's Day  in 2014 while in town to deejay at a festival. "I don't care what people say, I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything."

He also loved music, he added, "but the family comes before everything else."

Marriage to Katie Holmes

Tom was in a sharing mood when he started dating the  Dawson's Creek  alum in 2005, boisterously telling Oprah Winfrey   and her sofa that he was in love with the actress.

"Here's the thing, you can't think about it in terms of what people are going to do or say," he told MTV News that June of the PR perils of wearing his heart on his sleeve. "It's 'I want to share my life with this woman. This woman is exceptional, she's special, she's extraordinary and I have great respect for her.' It's someone who's saying 'I've got nothing to hide, I'm happy.' I'm happy, man!"

The Top Gun star proposed atop the Eiffel Tower in June 2005, reportedly within eight weeks of their first date.

Their lavish Nov. 18, 2006, nuptials were held at the 15th-century Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy. Suri, Connor and Bella were in attendance, along with the likes of the Beckhams, Jennifer Lopez  and then-husband Marc Anthony , Will Smith  and Jada Pinkett Smith , and Brooke Shields  and spouse  Chris Henchy .

Suri Cruise

Tom and Katie's daughter was born April 18, 2006. 

The  October 2006 cover of  Vanity Fair , first revealed on the CBS Evening News  Sept. 5, introduced Suri to the world. The portrait by Annie Leibovitz featured the 3-month-old tucked into her dad's leather aviator jacket, an homage to Linda McCartney 's famous shot of  Paul McCartney with their baby daughter Mary  from his 1970 album  McCartney .

"She's a glorious girl," Katie told the magazine. "She's the miracle of our life."

Tom shared that they found the name in a baby book sent to them by friends and just loved it. "We later found out that it meant 'red rose,' and that was just a bonus," he added. "Suri—it was perfect."

The article noted that the family, including Conor and Bella, were all gathered cozily at Tom's house in Telluride (which he sold in 2021 for $39.5 million).

"It's really special to see them holding their little sister," Katie said. "To hear them talk about all of the fun things they are going to do together." Added Tom, "It's very moving to me too. I look at those moments of watching Bella and Connor grow up and you get a sense of what kind of people they are going to be as adults."

Katie filed for divorce in June 2012, her attorney saying in a statement her "primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."

Tom's rep told E! News that he "is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children."

The proceedings were settled relatively quickly , with both sides agreeing on Suri living primarily with her mom  while her dad got generous visitation rights. Katie started splitting time between New York and L.A. and resettled Suri on the East Coast for school. 

The  Batman Begins  actress set about giving her kid the most normal life possible, ferrying her to school and gymnastics like any other Manhattan mom. While the paparazzi never stopped clicking away, Katie shared only a handful of glimpses of Suri on social media over the years. But they also were seen at sporting events and have made many a pilgrimage to Broadway  to catch a show.

"My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now," she told Town & Country  in 2017 . "It's very important that I'm present and she has a stable, innocent childhood. I feel so blessed to do what I do, but there's nothing in the world better than watching your child succeed."

At the same time, she said, "Every day, kids get a little further away from you. That's a positive thing. They should be becoming more independent, but it's heartbreaking."

Suri may not have caught the acting bug yet, but she did sing the cover of "Blue Moon" that opens Alone Together , the rom-com her mom was inspired to write during the pandemic and then also starred in and directed. Suri also provided a vocal for her movie  Rare Objects .

"I hope she always does something on my films," Katie told Glamour  in March 2023. "I always ask her. But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people. And it's this safe, beautiful, creative space."

With Suri about to turn 17 at the time, she noted, "What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her. I'm very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She's an incredible person."

Tom Cruise Makes Extremely Rare Public Appearance with His Son, Connor, in New York

It looks like Tom Cruise completed yet another top mission this past weekend: spending quality time with his son.

As reported by Entertainment Tonight , the 61-year-old actor was spotted on Saturday with Connor Cruise (28), whom he shares with his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman. The duo made a rare public appearance together while attending a Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning  event at AMC Empire 25 in New York. And Tom's older sister, Lee Ann Mapother (63), joined them for the occasion.

In photos published by Entertainment Tonight , Cruise is seen wearing a black shirt and dark jeans with sunglasses while Connor dons a gray polo shirt with blue jeans and white sneakers. 

The rare sighting comes about a month after Connor shared a photo of himself at Florida's Belleair Country Club on Instagram—his first post since August 2022.

In the snap, he poses next to his pal in a striped blue polo shirt and shades, and he captioned the post with golfing emojis. One fan commented, "Welcome back, always a pleasure to see you posting what makes you feel good."

Conor has kept his distance from the spotlight in recent years, but we do know that he has a passion for deep sea fishing (take a look at his IG feed) and that he's a Scientologist like his dad.

While discussing her relationship with Connor and Isabella Cruise (25)—both of whom were adopted—Nicole Kidman told Who magazine , "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."

Tom Cruise children: Inside actor’s mysterious relationships with Suri, Isabella and Connor

Tom Cruise is one of the biggest stars in the world but, when it comes to his relationships with his three children, very little is known.

Hollywood heavyweight Tom Cruise might be one of the biggest movie stars in the world but, when it comes to his personal life, very little is known about his relationships – especially with his children.

The Golden Globe winner first became a father in 1992 when he and his then-wife Nicole Kidman adopted their daughter Isabella. The former couple’s family grew again in 1995 when they adopted their son, Connor. After the marriage broke down, the Top Gun actor found love again with Katie Holmes and the pair went on to welcome his only biological child, Suri.

While Cruise was photographed frequently with Suri in her early years, sources have claimed he is now estranged from his 17-year-old daughter. As for his older children, mystery has long surrounded their relationships.

Now, after news he has found “love” with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova, the Herald looks at his family dynamics.

Here is everything we know about Tom’s relationships with his children:

Isabella Cruise

Born on December 22, 1992, Isabella – who calls herself Bella Kidman Cruise – was the first child Kidman and Cruise adopted in their decade-long marriage in the 1990s. Her relationship with her father appears to remain intact.

After agreeing to a joint custody agreement with Kidman in 2001 – financial terms and other settlement terms were kept confidential – Isabella and Connor stayed with their father in LA when Kidman returned to Australia and the children quickly became “completely dedicated Scientologists”, according to People magazine.

Now 30, Isabella rarely posts on social media but Page Six reported in 2019 that she wrote in a Scientology newsletter thanking her father “for everything”.

Kidman has not explicitly shared her opinion about her daughter’s relationship with the church but did briefly mention it in a 2018 interview with Who magazine.

“They are adults,” she said of Isabella and Connor at the time. “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 know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is.”

Hollywood Life has reported that Bella is now based in London and owns an art company selling phone cases, tote bags and other accessories.

In 2015 she married Max Parker, an IT consultant, in an intimate ceremony that neither Cruise nor Kidman attended, causing widespread speculation that Bella was estranged from them. But the Mirror reported that Cruise knew about the wedding and footed the bill.

Bella later spoke to the Daily Mail , claiming: “Of course [we talk], they’re my parents. Anyone who says otherwise is full of sh**.”

While it’s not known exactly how much contact she has with her father, reports suggest they have a good relationship.

She has previously shown support for him on social media by posting the trailer for Top Gun: Maverick and liking a post by Lady Gaga that featured him.

Connor Cruise

Born on January 17, 1995, and adopted the same year, Connor Cruise – much like his sister – appears to enjoy a life away from the spotlight.

Despite seemingly following in his parents’ footsteps earlier in his life when he starred in two films – Seven Pounds in 2008 and the Red Dawn remake in 2012 – Connor later pursued DJing successfully but has since taken a new direction.

Hollywood Life has reported that the 28-year-old spends a lot of time fishing and lives in Clearwater, Florida, which is the main Scientology hub in the US. The Mirror has reported that Connor has become a high-ranking member of the church .

He remains close to his sister and father, though reports suggest he does not have a good relationship with Kidman and did not invite her to his wedding in 2019.

He married Italian-born Silvia Zanchi, a fellow Scientologist who also grew up in the religion, and allegedly “banned” Kidman from the wedding at the request of his father.

Speaking to Radar Online in 2019, a source said, “Tom is behind this and what he wants is as good as law. Tom made the call and Connor followed.”

Adding that Connor “worships the ground his father walks on”, the sources added: “First, Tom would never even consider inviting Nicole to Connor’s wedding because she’s considered a ‘suppressive person’ by the church. And, second, he doesn’t want her there.”

People magazine reported in 2019 that Connor and his father regularly spend time together but public outings are rare. They were spotted the same year flying over London in a helicopter and Cruise showed his son “some aviation basics”.

The trip was a way to promote the Mission Impossible film at the time. However, People reported there was also an annual Scientology gathering that Connor was believed to have attended with his father.

Since then, the two have also been spotted on rare outings together, including at a 2021 basketball game and, most recently, in New York City in July at an event to promote Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning .

Suri Cruise

Earlier this year an insider revealed to Page Six that Cruise was estranged Suri, his daughter with former wife Katie Holmes. However, he still pays child support of US$400,000 (NZ$640,500), which will continue until she is 18.

He is also required to pay for Suri’s expenses, including medical, dental, insurance, education and other extra-curricular costs.

The news doesn’t come as a complete surprise as Cruise revealed in his 2012 defamation case against Bauer Media that his links to Scientology had played a large part in his estrangement from Suri.

When asked if Holmes had left him “in part to protect Suri from Scientology”, he replied, “That was one of the assertions, yes.”

“Listen, when there is a divorce, things change,” he told lawyers in 2013. “It’s not an ideal scene. It’s not an ideal situation.”

After the US$50 million ($80m) lawsuit deposition in 2016, the controversial church was criticised for keeping Cruise and his daughter apart. According to the rules of Scientology, church members are not allowed to associate with non-believers.

Since neither Holmes nor Suri are Scientologists, it has been claimed that Cruise cannot have a relationship with either of them.

“This is his loss, his issue, his problem,” an insider told Page Six at the time. “He must be really brainwashed.”

Tom Cruise Stepped Out With His Son Connor, And It Was A Rare Sight To See

It's their first outing in over six months.

BuzzFeed Staff

Tom and Connor Cruise are stepping out.

Yesterday, the father-and-son duo was seen exiting a heliport in Central London.

Tom — who was recently in the city for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour — gave Pete Mitchell vibes in a fitted tee, jeans, and dark aviator sunglasses.

(Pics can be seen  here .)

Connor also went for a relaxed look, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with baggy pants and a matching baseball cap.

The outing is a super rare one for the pair, marking their first public appearance since December, when Tom was snapped with Connor and Isabella Cruise ahead of a hockey game.

The December appearance was also notable because it was the first time Tom had been photographed with both kids since 2009, when they attended a soccer match.

If you remember, Tom adopted Connor, 29, and Isabella, 31, during his marriage to Nicole Kidman . He also has a daughter, Suri, 18, with Katie Holmes .

Those two are rarely seen together either — if you can believe it, the last time was actually way back in 2012 (!).

While Katie recently stepped out to celebrate Suri's high school graduation, Tom was not seen at the ceremony.

Tom Cruise's daughter's ordinary life in Croydon with Brit husband and pet reptile

Isabella Cruise turned down dad Tom Cruise's offer to live in his plush London penthouse when she relocated to England in 2017 - instead preferring to keep a low profile with British husband and pet lizard

• 20:50, 15 May 2022
• Updated 21:18, 15 May 2022

With two multi-millionaire actors as parents, Isabella Kidman Cruise, 29, could easily be reaping the benefits of Hollywood nepotism - bagging major movie roles and living in plush penthouses over in America.

However, the eldest child of Tom Cruise and his former wife Nicole Kidman prefers the delights of London over L.A - shunning celebrity culture to live a down-to-earth life in Croydon with her British husband Max Parker and their pet reptile.

The artist reportedly even turned down her dad's offer to live in his £342,000-a-month penthouse in London when she first moved to the U.K in October 2017 to be closer to Max's parents.

Top Gun star Tom, 59, is said to own a property close by 10 Downing Street that boasts an indoor swimming pool and amazing views, alongside other luxury features.

But Isabella - who is also known as Bella - prefers to keep a low-profile in a three-bedroom house in Croydon, according to her neighbours.

"I wouldn’t have known her if she’d come up and smacked me in the face. I don’t keep up with celebrity culture," a neighbour named Emma told The Sun in 2017.

"They have a reptile of some kind — we can see the red light of the tank. That’s all anybody seems to know. She’s very mysterious. I suppose she’s decided to live out of the spotlight. I don’t know why she’s chosen Croydon, poor child!"

Isabella has seemingly embraced English culture since relocating to the United Kingdom - even getting behind the national team during the Euro 2020 semifinals last year.

The artist made a rare appearance on social media in July 2021, sharing a selfie of herself supporting Gareth Soutgathe's players in their quest to reach the final of the football tournament.

"My face during extra time... fingers crossed," Bella captioned the snap shared with her Instagram followers, adding an emoji of the England flag.

Isabella and Max tied the knot in 2015, just a year after being set up by mutual pals, and even their wedding day was low-key - with the bride's famous parents noticeably missing from the guestlist.

The pair's Scientology wedding at the lavish Dorchester Hotel in London was restricted to close friends and family, but both mum Nicole and dad Tom we're unable to attend due to work commitments.

The Eyes Wide Shut co-stars - who were married from 1990 until 2001 - adopted Isaella in 1992, and then her younger brother, Connor Cruise in 1995.

Despite her parents having a combined wealth of over £600million, Isabella has always been keen to earn her own money.

The celebrity offspring often uses her verified Instagram account to promote various artistic designs - with her website offering limited edition prints from $30 and trendy tote bags for $19.

"Bella has been drawing ever since her wee hands could pick up a pen. Since that point in time she’s been evolving in her arts," the star's bio reads on her website.

"Her go-to medium was pen and paper for most of her life. However, she is now venturing into other formats and mediums. Including digital. Which has been a bit of a game changer in her opinion."

Tom Cruise's new photo suggests long-awaited family reunion days ahead of 62nd birthday

The mission impossible actor shares two children with ex nicole kidman and a daughter, suri, with katie holmes.

Tom Cruise' s big day on July 3 could be a family affair if new photos are anything to go by.  The Top Gun actor was snapped with his son, Connor , in London ahead of the weekend marking a very rare appearance with the 29-year-old. 

Given the fact Connor made the trip across the pond from his home in Florida to see his dad, there's every chance they'll ring in his birthday together.

Not only that, but Tom's other daughter, Bella, resides in England too.

Connor and Bella are close to their dad, despite their long-distance relationship. 

Both children have carved out successful careers for themselves; Connor is a keen sea fisherman and also runs a BBQ meat business and Bella is an artist.

The siblings were adopted by Tom and their mom,  Nicole Kidman , during their marriage. 

Tom is also a dad to Suri, who he shares with his ex-wife, Katie Holmes , however, he's believed to be estranged from the 18-year-old. 

She's dropped his last name, and now goes by Suri Noelle. 

Tom hasn't publicly addressed his relationship with his youngest daughter but previously spoke about the joy fatherhood brings him. 

"I'll never forget the moment I became a dad," he told Esquire in 2010, four years after Suri was born and two years before he split with Katie.  "But it's hard to describe — that level of responsibility, the desire to give such joy. 

"The clarity: Nothing is more important than this. I remember that first night, just staring at Bella.  I was checking her every second, just looking at her, feeling that immediate bond. I was probably looking at her so much that I was keeping her up."

He's maintained a strong fatherly bond with Connor and Bella, who joined the Church of Scientology like their dad. 

Tom is not believed to have contact with Nicole or Katie.

Nicole hasn't been pictured publicly with her two oldest children since 2007, but she insists she has a relationship with them. 

"I have to protect those relationships," she told Harper's Bazaar. "I know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is. 

"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."

Isabella ‘Bella’ Cruise: Photos

Isabella ‘Bella’ Cruise is the daughter of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, whom the former couple adopted amid their marriage between 1990-2001. Bella also has a brother, Connor, who her parents also adopted before their divorce.

After Tom and Nicole parted ways in 2001, Bella and Connor still chose to be Scientologists. They remained with the Church of Scientology even in adulthood, which Nicole confirmed in a 2019 interview. ‘[Isabella and Connor] have made choices to be Scientologists. It’s our job as a parent to always offer unconditional love. It’s not about anything else other than, ‘I’m here to love and support you’,’ Nicole had told The Sun . 

Unlike her famous parents, though, Bella does not live her life in the limelight. She instead lives a modest life in the United Kingdom with her husband, IT consultant Max Parker, whom she married in 2015. Bella is now an artist who often posts photos of her work on Instagram, in addition to the occasional rare selfie. Scroll below to see Bella through the years! She is pictured above in London on July 15, 2017.

Who Are Tom Cruise And Nicole Kidman's Children?

A ctors Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman had quite a fast-paced relationship. The duo met for the first time on the set of "Days of Thunder" in 1990 and got married in December of that very same year. Not so surprisingly, the two, especially Kidman, wanted to start a family almost as soon as they said, "I do."

As she noted in a 2007 Vanity Fair interview (via People ), "From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies." Sadly, the couple's struggles with fertility made things difficult. However, within two years of their wedding, Cruise and Kidman welcomed their adoptive daughter, Bella, into their lives. A couple years after Bella's adoption, the celebrity duo decided to have another child and adopted their son, Connor.

Unfortunately, Kidman and Cruise's relationship ended in a divorce in 2001, when Bella was 8 and Connor was 6. Bella and Connor are now full-grown adults, and although they both stay away from the public eye, they have made headlines from time to time. Here's what you need to know about Cruise and Kidman's shared children.

Bella And Connor Were Adopted As Newborns

Isabella Jane, who goes by Bella Kidman Cruise, was born in Miami, Florida, in December 1992. Briefly after Bella was born, she was handed over to Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, with the adoption process being facilitated by the Church of Scientology (which both Cruise and Bella's biological mother are/were devoted to).

Bella joined the celebrity couple shortly after Kidman went through a painful ectopic pregnancy, which was followed by a miscarriage and the news that she might not ever be able to bear a child again. However, Bella's presence helped the couple fill that void. As Kidman put it while on "Desert Island Discs" (via the Independent ) in 1998, "When I held Bella in my arms, that was everything. I look into those eyes and that crazy love happens ... It opens up a part of your heart you didn't even know was there."

Connor Cruise, who previously used "Kidman Cruise" as his last name, was born in Florida in January 1995. Although not much is known about Connor's biological parents or the process of his adoption, we do know that he was adopted as a newborn, too.

Bella Worked For Katie Holmes's Clothing Line

Back in 2006, the year Tom Cruise married his now-ex-wife and fellow actor, Katie Holmes, Bella Kidman Cruise started working for Holmes and Yang, a clothing line owned by Holmes. Although it's not clear what her position in the firm was, we're sure Bella worked with diligence during her tenure. We say so because it came as a shock to many when she was reportedly dismissed from the company shortly before Cruise and Holmes' marriage ended in 2012.

In July 2012, an insider, who claimed to be a Scientologist closely associated with Cruise, alleged to  The Hollywood Reporter that Bella and Holmes were always on good terms. Elaborating on Bella's dismissal, they claimed, "Bella called Katie 'Mom.' She was fired out of the blue, and once Katie filed for divorce, it all made sense. This was a carefully planned ambush. Katie didn't want Bella working for her anymore because she was Tom's kid."

Bella Is Quite Passionate About Art

In 2015, Bella Kidman Cruise graduated from Delamar Academy of Make-up and Hair in London, England and started a new career as a makeup artist shortly after the course ended. However, she switched her focus to fine arts, starting her own line of limited edition t-shirts, prints, tote bags, and much more in 2018. All the products sold by the company feature artworks created by Bella herself. The website of the company, Bella Kidman Cruise , is still functional and offers free shipping all over America if the cart value exceeds $50.

As the website puts it, "Bella has been drawing ever since her wee hands could pick up a pen. Since that point in time she's been evolving in her arts." Her artworks can also be explored on her Instagram profile, where she has amassed about 55,000 followers, as of this writing. Up until late 2023, she frequently shared her paintings and sketches -- which are mostly psychedelic and abstract in nature -- on the page.

Bella Married British I.T. Consultant Max Parker In 2015

Bella Kidman Cruise -- who, unlike most other celebrity kids , is rarely seen in the headlines  -- grabbed media attention for her 2015 wedding that didn't include Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, and Connor Cruise as guests. She dated her now-husband and British I.T. consultant Max Parker for less than a year before tying the knot in September 2015. With the bride being a follower of Scientology and the groom being Christian, the wedding consisted of rituals practiced in both religions. The ceremony and the reception, which were attended by a minimal number of people close to the couple, took place at The Dorchester Hotel in Mayfair, London.

Both events were reportedly funded by Cruise, and Kidman was secretly a part of the nuptials as well. The purpose of keeping the former couple away from the events was to avoid press coverage and keep everything as low-profile as possible. As an insider revealed to the  Daily Mail , "Nicole was actually involved with the wedding preparations and she did have a private dinner with Bella and Max. But she didn't go to the ceremony. Also, the animosity between Tom and Nicole was probably a factor."

Connor Has Acted Alongside Will Smith And Chris Hemsworth

Connor Cruise made his acting debut in the 2008 Will Smith-starring film, "Seven Pounds." In the movie, Connor briefly appeared as a young version of the protagonist portrayed by Smith. In a 2008 interview (via The San Diego Union Tribune ), Tom Cruise revealed how director Gabriele Muccino gave Connor the part after an audition that went on for about half an hour. Cruise, who was initially present in the audition room alongside Smith, said, "[Muccino] looked at me and Will, and Will and I were like, 'How's he doing?' And the director just said, 'Out!' So we were standing in the hall for about half an hour or something, wondering, 'What's going on in there? What's happening?'"

Needless to say, Connor did well and earned himself the role. Although Connor was never forced into acting by his parents, his upbringing did play a part in his decision to pursue a career in show business. As his father noted in the interview, "He's grown up on (acting). I've always had my kids there, in hair and makeup, just always around the sets. They've worked on sets." Connor went on to act in 2012's Chris Hemsworth-starring war film, "Red Dawn," but that happened to be his last acting gig because his own interests led him down another path.

Connor Shifted His Focus From Acting To Music As A Teenager

Connor Cruise is a man of many talents, as he inherited his parents' interest in acting, as well as his own passion for music. He was only 16 years old when he embarked upon a career as a DJ. In 2013, Connor dropped his debut dance track, "Closer to Heaven," and by 2016, he was already deejaying at big events. His most notable works as a DJ include his performances at the Temple Nightclub in San Francisco and the afterparty for 2016's Terranea's Celebration of Food & Wine.

In 2016, Connor worked with a renowned music record label to release one of his songs. The said track, titled "Refined," was launched under Oxygen, a division of the famous Spinnin' Records. However, Connor, who went by DJ C-Squared at his gigs, quit deejaying within a few years, seemingly cutting off a career within the entertainment industry. As of this writing, both acting and deejaying have become a thing of the past for Connor.

Connor Leads A Life Away From The Spotlight

The second time Connor Cruise changed his chosen path, he switched up his star-studded life in exchange for deep-sea fishing in Florida, something he has stuck to for years now. In 2018, an insider told People , "Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater. 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."

Connor's personal Instagram  profile is filled with photos and videos of his fishing adventures, chock full of the huge fish he has caught off the Florida coast. He also runs a BBQ business called Connor's Meatshack, and the business's Instagram page features quite a few photos and videos of all sorts of meat being cooked. The bio on the page reveals they sell "wagyu, brisket, burgers, chicken, and ribs on chars, flats and smokers." However, judging by the dates on the posts shared on his Instagram accounts, Connor doesn't seem to be an active user.

Both Bella And Connor Are Devoted To Scientology

Following Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's divorce, Bella Kidman Cruise and Connor Cruise opted to live with their adoptive father. Being raised in the Church of Scientology, both Bella and Connor are devoted to the controversial religion . As a matter of fact, in 2019, Bella even received training to become an auditor, the person who provides introspection conclaves to others in the Church. After the training process, she wrote in a testimonial (via People ), "This IS what I had been searching for. The missing piece. Suddenly everything began to make sense."

While many believe Scientology is the basis of Cruise and Connor's relationship , some claim it was also the reason behind Kidman getting alienated by her children, as the "Moulin Rouge" actor completely separated herself from the religion post-divorce. However, both Bella and Connor have denied such claims, with the latter noting in a 2014 Woman's Day interview, "I don't care what people say. I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything."
