Thirty years have passed since Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman adopted two children, Isabella and Connor. The Hollywood power couple’s decision to start a family through adoption was highly publicized at the time. However, following their divorce, Kidman’s relationship with her adopted children seemingly fizzled out.
The couple’s adopted daughter, Isabella, was just a toddler when Cruise and Kidman welcomed her into their family in 1992. Two years later, they adopted a son, Connor. Despite their parents’ divorce when Connor was just six years old, the court ruled that both Cruise and Kidman would share responsibility for raising their children.
However, as time went on, Kidman’s busy acting career and frequent travels took a toll on her relationship with her adopted children. Meanwhile, Cruise’s increasing involvement with Scientology also had a profound impact on the family dynamic. Kidman reportedly felt powerless to shield her children from the influence of her ex-husband’s faith.
Cruise’s subsequent marriage to Katie Holmes also ended in divorce, with rumors suggesting that his devotion to Scientology played a significant role in the breakdown of their relationship. In contrast, Kidman has since found happiness with her second husband, Keith Urban, with whom she has two biological children.
In recent years, Isabella and Connor have maintained a relatively low profile, rarely making public appearances. However, in a rare sighting, photographers recently captured images of the now-grown siblings, offering a glimpse into their lives as young adults. Despite their parents’ highly publicized divorce and subsequent remarriages, Isabella and Connor appear to have grown into confident and capable individuals.
