Isabella Cruise Marries in Secret Wedding, but Where Were Parents Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman?

By Kim Fusaro

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman 's daughter Isabella Cruise married her Brit IT consultant boyfriend Max Parker last month—and while she was joined by brother Connor, neither of her parents were there to witness the happy occasion.

"The wedding happened a couple of weeks ago, on Sept. 18," a source told Us Weekly . "And was a super low-key, small ceremony. Connor was there but both Tom and Nicole were not." Their big day reportedly went down at the Dorchester Hotel in Central London.

Australian weekly Woman's Day has pictures form the nuptials, which show the bride wearing a high-neck three-quarter-sleeve lace mini dress , and what appear to be her bridesmaids in oh-so-chic peach jumpsuits.

TMZ is reporting that the groom's parents also didn't make the guest list—instead the couple opted to swap vows in the presence of just a few close friends. They are reporting that Tom footed the bill for their big day, however, and that Max and Bella spent both Thanksgiving and Christmas with her father.

Isabella Cruise Hits First Public Event Since Secret Wedding: Photos

Stepping out! Newlywed Isabella Cruise hit her first public event following her secret nuptials last fall on Wednesday, February 3.

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise 's daughter, 23, stopped by the Maddox Gallery in London, where she supported her pal, celebrity photographer Tyler Shields, for the opening of his new Decadence exhibit. Other celebrities attending the event included Lindsay Lohan , who's featured in his photos, as well as Suki Waterhouse 's sister, Immy.

Bella looked cozy in black jeans and gray wrap sweater — but cautiously tucked her left hand (wedding ring included) out of sight. She also revealed her new hairstyle — a sleek bleach blonde bob paired with a mauve lip color and bold brows.

Missing in action at the event was her new husband, IT consultant Parker , whom she secretly married last September. A source confirmed to Us Weekly at the time that the Hollywood scion and her beau had tied the knot in "a super low-key, small ceremony" in London.

Present for Bella's big day was her brother Connor Cruise. Not there to witness the nuptials, however, were either of her famous parents.

"She really didn't want to make a big deal out of it," the same insider told Us, adding that the nuptials were followed by "a very, very informal" reception.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's Daughter Isabella Cruise Marries in Secret Ceremony

Neither Cruise nor Kidman attended the wedding

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman 's daughter Isabella Cruise secretly married her boyfriend Max Parker last month, Woman's Day reports.

Isabella, 22, and the IT consultant exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at The Dorchester Hotel in Central London on Sept. 18, less than a year after they began dating. Neither Cruise, Kidman nor Isabella's brother Connor attended the wedding so as not to attract attention, according to People . However, the actor paid for the wedding and reception.

Kidman and Cruise adopted Isabella and Connor during their 11-year marriage, which ended in 2001.

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.

The low-key nuptials took place at the Dorchester Hotel in London in September, and the exclusive guest list was limited to just close friends. Neither Bella's parents, Tom Cruise or Nicole Kidman , nor Max's attended.Their absence led to reports that Bella has a strained relationship with her mum and dad – but she dismissed that during a new interview with the Mail Online .

Max's mother, Beverly Parker, was asked how she felt about missing the big day. "We didn't go, but we all knew about it.

"I'm very pleased for them both and they're very happy. "Beverly also revealed that she and her husband Lester are yet to meet Tom or Nicole, but added: "There's no need for that.

Where is isabella cruise now updates on tom cruise and nicole kidman’s daughter today.

Fans of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman have wondered where their adopted daughter Isabella Cruise is today and what she’s doing with her life after choosing to remain out of the spotlight, not even attending her famous parents’ premieres and other events.

Where Is Isabella Cruise Now?

As of late 2023, Bella was living in a three-bedroom property in South London, England, with her husband, Max Parker , and their pet lizard.

She reportedly turned down her dad’s offer to live in his $400,000 per month penthouse in London’s historic Corinthia Residences in 2020, preferring a more independent life.

What Does Isabella Cruise Do for a Living?

She works as an artist and her Instagram page is filled with her colorful drawings.

In 2018, the creative young lady launched her own fashion brand called BKC, for “Bella Kidman Cruise.” Her website noted, “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.”

It continued, “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. We hope you dig it.”

Bella sells everything from T-shirts to tote bags to pins featuring her designs, as well as limited edition prints of her artwork.

When Did Isabella Cruise Get Married?

Bella married her British boyfriend, IT consultant Max Parker, in a September 2015 London Church of Scientology wedding. The pair dated for a year prior after being introduced by mutual friends.

Neither Tom nor Nicole was present for the ceremony. The reception was held at the posh Dorchester Hotel in the city’s Mayfair area.

When Did Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Adopt Isabella Cruise?

The former Hollywood power couple, who married on December 24, 1990, adopted Isabella in 1992 shortly after her birth. The pair grew their family by adopting a son, Connor , in January 1995. Tom filed for divorce from Nicole in February 2001 citing “irreconcilable differences.” He listed their date of separation as December 21, 2000, three days shy of their 10th wedding anniversary. Their divorce was finalized in August 2001.

Does Isabella Cruise Have a Relationship With Her Parents?

Although the pair haven’t been photographed together since 2007, Bella told New Idea magazine in 2011, “I love mom. [Nicole’s] my mom. She’s great. I see her sometimes and I speak to her,” adding, “We’re a very close family. I love all of our family,” after speculation arose that Nicole was estranged from her ​children with Tom due to her not being a member of the Church of Scientology.

In 2016, Bella told MailOnline of her divorced parents, “Of course [we talk], they’re my parents. Anyone who says otherwise is full of s–t.”

Nicole Kidman Opened Up About Her Children Being Scientologists

The Emmy winner told Who magazine in November 2018 about how respectful she is of her adoptive children remaining with the Church of Scientology, especially since they were now adults.

Deal of the Day

“I’m very private about all that. 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.”

“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. “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.”

“I think that’s so important because if that is taken away from a child, to sever that in any child, in any relationship, in any family – I believe it’s wrong. So that’s our job as a parent, to always offer unconditional love,” Nicole added.

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."

Inside Tom Cruise's Relationship With Kids Isabella, Connor and Suri

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

Originally appeared on E! Online

Tom Cruise is known for a lot of things , but gabbing about his kids isn't one of them.

Naturally that has something to do with the fact that son Connor Cruise and daughter Isabella Cruise with ex-wife Nicole Kidman , as well as daughter Suri Cruise with ex-wife Katie Holmes , are leading relatively private lives outside of show business—though they can't help being famous-by-association thanks to their movie star parents.

But you can't deny Tom's enigmatic ways, the Mission: Impossible star being so impressively out there—jumping off cliffs, riding motorcycles, sending his friends coconut cake every year—and yet increasingly private.

Though he rhapsodized about fatherhood when all of his children were little, his inclination to share exponentially decreased as the spotlight grew ever brighter (and he notched his third divorce in 2012).

So, any rare sighting of him spending time in public with his now grown children tends to be an event.

Travis Kelce Cheekily Reveals How He's Changed Over the Past Year

Such was the case when Tom was snapped in a group pic that included Isabella, 31, and Connor, 29 , at a Florida Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game last December, though it took until recently for the Internet to notice the photo on NFL Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks ' Instagram.

"Wow, look who stopped by my office before our @tblightning game tonight! @tomcruise," the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker captioned the Dec. 27 post . "I was a little star struck but played it cool and He said he was too!"

Little did Derrick know he was doing the social media equivalent of lighting a long fuse, classic M:I -style.

It was the first time the 61-year-old actor had been seen with Connor and Isabella at a public event since a 2009 Los Angeles Galaxy game (the three were informally snapped by paparazzi with Suri in Central Park in 2010), though public outings with his son have been a bit more frequent.

As for his youngest child, how much time Tom spends with now-18-year-old Suri has been a subject of speculation ever since he and Katie divorced in 2012 after less than six years of marriage.

"My whole life I always wanted to be a father," Tom told Vanity Fair for the October 2006 cover story that introduced Suri to the world at 3 months old . "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."

While they were together, he and Katie were frequently spotted out with their daughter, and there are countless pap pics of them trying to get from a car into a building and back again to prove it.

But they didn't let the ever-present photographers stop them from living their life: The family went to amusement parks, attended Galaxy games (they were Beverly Hills neighbors with David and Victoria Beckham when the English football star crossed the pond to give soccer a shot in the arm in 2007) and were at the 2010 Super Bowl in Miami Gardens along with then-15-year-old Connor.

But Suri was 6 when Tom and Katie split up. She's lived with her mom in New York for years , while her dad is based in Florida these days when not globetrotting for work—which he so often is.

Tom Cruise Through The Years

In the ensuing years, Tom has never gone the route of giving a big interview about fatherhood, or made some other flagrantly public gesture to counter the narrative that they didn't have a relationship.

In a Playboy interview published in June 2012, a month before he and Katie announced they were divorcing , Tom said that, while he preferred not to waste time dealing with the stranger rumors and other swipes at his character that shadowed his wildly successful career, he had his limits .

"You start with a letter saying, 'OK, you know it's not true. Apologize,'" he said. "There is a point with a lot of things when you just go, 'You know what? I don't want to waste my time with this. I'm busy. I'd rather spend this time with my kids and my wife, at home or on our movies, creating a life together. If you have kids, it is the most important thing to create good times."

But, he added, "with certain ones you have to go, 'OK, you crossed a line, and now you have the attention of my lawyers.' When it involves your kids, with these guys you have to go, 'Here's the line, and anytime you cross it…' But there are lots of times when you just have to say, 'Please don't cross that line. Be decent. Let's not do this.'"

And he did push back against what he viewed to be an egregious take, filing a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media's In Touch and Life & Style for reporting in 2012 that he had "abandoned" Suri .

Sitting down for a deposition in the case on Sept. 9, 2013, Tom acknowledged not seeing his child for at least 100 days while filming the action thriller Edge of Tomorrow in London, but denied ever being out of touch.

"You have to work at it," he said, sharing that he called her every day, per court documents obtained by E! News. "I've gotten very good at it. I tell wonderful stories. I also find that, you know, Suri is a very happy child, and confident, and has a good sense of herself."

Tom continued, "Things change and there's different agreements, like in any divorce, where you work out a schedule. It's just a different set of circumstances. It certainly does not mean that I've abandoned my daughter."

The lawsuit was settled that December and dismissed with prejudice, meaning it couldn't be refiled. A spokeswoman for both publications said it was never their intent "to communicate that Tom Cruise had cut off all ties and abandoned his daughter, Suri, and regret if anyone drew that inference from anything they published."

And so began the next era of Tom Cruise, silent movie star (so to speak). In work-centric interviews and on the red carpet, he's as charming as ever, but his kids fall into the no-ask zone.

Yet as any person with or without social media knows: Just because it isn't in a photo for the world to see, that doesn't mean it isn't happening. Keep reading for all the details on Tom's family:

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.)

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."

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."

"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."

"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."

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!"

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 .

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

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."

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.

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."

"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."

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."

"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."

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."

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise's Daughter Bella Celebrates the End of Summer With Rare Selfie

Isabella "bella" kidman cruise, the daughter of exes nicole kidman and tom cruise, recently shared a rare snap of herself to instagram and noted, "what a summer.".

Your mission: Check out this new selfie shared by Nicole Kidman  and Tom Cruise 's daughter.

Isabella "Bella" Kidman Cruise , 30, posted a rare snap of herself to Instagram Sept. 17 to mark the end of the season. The photo showed Bella gazing at the camera while wearing a white ensemble and some layered necklaces—with her captioning the picture, "What a summer." 

While the artist often shares her work with her social media followers, she doesn't upload pictures of herself as frequently. In fact, her last selfie appeared to be in March, when she gave a peek at her new ‘do . And while fans are used to seeing Bella's parents up on the big screen, she seems to prefer staying out of the limelight—with her last public appearance being in 2021 when she attended an art exhibition in London hosted by  Courtney Love . 

Nicole and Tom are also protective when it comes to the privacy of Bella and her 28-year-old brother  Connor Cruise —who the stars adopted while they were married from 1990 to 2001—and have said little about them publicly.

"I'm very private about all that," the  Moulin Rouge  actress told Australian outlet  Who  in 2018. "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."

Suri Cruise’s Relationship With Her Siblings Is Drastically Different From When She Was Younger

Suri Cruise's relationship with her older siblings, Isabella and Connor Cruise, changed after her parents' divorce.

• Suri Cruise had a close relationship with Connor Cruise at one point, but there is no public evidence of her closeness with Isabella Cruise.
• Suri's strained relationship with her siblings might be due to Scientology differences between her parents, Tom and Katie Holmes.
• Tom Cruise's relationship with his children remains private, but photos suggest Connor Cruise shares a special bond with his father.

The state of Suri Cruise 's relationship with her older siblings, Connor and Isabella Cruise, has always been shrouded in privacy regarding their family dynamics. Connor and Isabella are Tom Cruise 's adopted children from his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman , while Suri is his biological daughter with Katie Holmes . The siblings are all adults now, but there has been no evidence that they have a relationship.

Tom Cruise's ex-wives, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes, became close at some point, but this did not transcend to the relationship among their children. However, this was not the case when they were younger. Despite the private life of Tom Cruise's children, there is some evidence that Suri Cruise was once close to her older siblings . This article will explore Suri's past relationship with Connor and Isabella Cruise , where they stand now, and whether Tom Cruise is close to his older kids.

Inside Suri Cruise's Relationship With Her Older Siblings

Tom Cruise's family dynamics were always an ultra-private affair, even before he and his ex-wives ended their respective marriages. However, there were times when the family was photographed in public, indicating that there was some level of closeness among the children. Back in June 2012, Connor and Suri Cruise were photographed attending the Friar's Club Entertainment Award alongside their father, Tom Cruise.

At some point during the event, Connor helped Suri carry her bejeweled purse and a plushie toy she took to the event. According to The List, the siblings were also photographed together the same month during another family outing. While this photographic evidence showed that Connor was close to his younger sister at some point, the same cannot be said of Isabella Cruise. There are no public moments between her and Suri , but this does not mean they did not have a relationship.

However, over the years, it became more evident that the Cruise siblings may be estranged from one another, especially after their parents' divorce. When Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise ended their marriage in 2012, Holmes reportedly safeguarded her daughter from the beliefs and practices of Scientology. Tom Cruise and his other children practice Scientology, and this could have led to the disparity between Suri and her siblings.

Tom Cruise And Daughter Suri Were Reportedly Used As A Tool To Punish Leah Remini For Scientology Betrayal

In accordance with the beliefs of Scientology, when a member leaves the fold, they are labeled as "a suppressive being." This then leads to an estrangement from other members of their family practicing the religion. It is safe to say that Suri Cruise's relationship with her siblings became strained due to their differences over Scientology. While Katie Holmes shielded her daughter from the practice, Isabella and Connor Cruise became strong members of Scientology.

Isabella Cruise even rose through the ranks and became an auditor in the church of Scientology. Suri, on the other hand, grew up with her mother, far away from the religion. In retrospect, Isabella and Connor are closer to each other than they are to Suri. They have shared selfies together on social media , but the same cannot be said of Suri. One can also assume that the youngster's distance from Scientology also played a part in her strained relationship with her father, Tom Cruise.

Is Tom Cruise Close To Isabella and Connor Cruise?

As earlier established, the state of Tom Cruise's relationship with his children is unclear due to their high level of privacy. Nonetheless, there have been moments between the actor and his kids that raised fans' curiosity. One such time was in 2015 when Isabella Cruise tied the knot in London. The oldest daughter of Tom and Nicole Kidman opted for a private Scientology wedding that included a small guest list. However, the list notably left out her parents.

According to People, Isabella did not invite her parents and siblings because she desired a quiet and low-key ceremony. The situation was more surprising because Tom Cruise was said to have paid for the ceremony . It was further reported that Isabella was preventing her dad's star power from overshadowing the ceremony by not inviting him.

People also stated that Tom Cruise was filming a new movie at the time, which required his unwavering commitment. Per The List, Nicole Kidman was in London at the time of the wedding but was also not invited. However, the development was not enough evidence that Isabella was estranged from her father. Speaking to the DailyMail in 2016, Isabella revealed that she and her parents were in constant communication despite their absence at her wedding.

Tom Cruise's Child Support Payments For Suri Did Not Come Cheap, Totalling $4.8 Million

Isabella Cruise's claim appeared to have been strengthened in May 2024 when a snapshot of the family surfaced on the internet. The auditor was photographed posing with her dad and brother, Connor, in a group photo. The last time the trio were photographed together in public was in 2009 during a soccer game in Los Angeles.

So far, it appears that Tom Cruise's relationship with Connor is the least complicated. Connor briefly followed in his parent's footsteps as an actor and starred in two films, "Red Dawn" and "Seven Pounds," before pivoting into his passion for deep-sea fishing. He also seems to be the kid who spent the most time with Tom Cruise.

The accomplished DJ was spotted with Tom Cruise in 2013 when they sat together during a game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Chicago Blackhawks. The father-son duo was also seen together during a hangout in 2019. According to People, Connor and Tom share a love for helicopters, and the doting dad once took some time to teach his son some aviation basics.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's Daughter Bella Shares Rare Glimpse of Herself Online

Isabella Kidman Cruise gave followers a quick peek of herself, sharing a tense clip on Instagram while she watched the England national soccer team

Isabella "Bella" Kidman Cruise, daughter of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman , is making a rare appearance online.

On Wednesday, the 28-year-old artist, who typically sticks to sharing photos of her artwork on her Instagram account, posted a short black and white video of herself on her Instagram Story.

"My face during extra time... fingers crossed," Bella captioned it, adding an emoji of the British flag.

She and her husband Max Parker live together in London. The artist was seemingly showing support for England's national soccer team during the Euro 2020 semifinals before the team won 2-1 against Denmark in extra time.

Earlier this year, she gave followers another rare snap, posting a photo of herself bundled up in a beanie, scarf and coat as she looked into the camera. "Same face, new prints now available on the shop," she wrote in the caption .

Before that, the last time she posted a photo other than art was in August when Bella shared a shot of herself in front of a mirror wearing a black newsboy cap with a glitter Instagram filter.

"All that glitters is gold.. oh wait, it's just another Instagram filter," she captioned the post.

Bella has lived a quiet life outside the spotlight, only making headlines in 2015 for her marriage to Parker. She also launched a clothing line in February 2018 called BKC (Bella Kidman Cruise).

Cruise and Kidman are parents to Bella and her younger brother Connor, 26. The former couple divorced in 2001 and have since respected their children's privacy. A source told PEOPLE in July 2018 that Cruise "loves all his children. And each of them has a right to their own story."

When asked about her relationship with her oldest children by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in November 2018, Kidman said, "I'm very private about all that," as reported by Australia's Who Magazine . "I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150% that I would give up my life for my children because it's what my purpose is."
