While still married, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman adopted two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, Isabella (𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1992) and Connor (𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1995). Currently, the lives of these two sisters are of public interest.
Tom Cruise has been married three times and divorced all of them. In his first marriage , he and his first wife Mimi Rogers had no 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren together. Nicole Kidman was his second wife, they lived together for 11 years and only adopted 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren . Tom Cruise has only one biological 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, Suri Cruise – the crystallization of love between the Hollywood actor and actress Katie Holmes.
After her parents divorced, Suri was protected by her mother to stay away from the Church of Scientology, but Tom Cruise’s two remaining 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren are loyal members. Isabella and Connor are now adults, both are known to be high-ranking figures in this controversial religion.
Unlike Suri, Tom’s adopted 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren have maintained a close relationship with their father, but have distanced themselves from their mother Nicole. After their divorce in 2001, the Hollywood power couple shared custody of their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. However, Isabella and Connor chose to stay in the US with their father, while Nicole moved back to Australia.
“Connor and Isabella grew up in the Church of Scientology, and have been members since they were young. They are absolutely devoted Scientologists, just like Tom. They have a repressive status and have kept their distance from their adoptive mother,” a source close to the family told People .
Nicole’s relationship with her adopted 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren has been strained. The 57-year-old actress was not invited to any important events, including Isabella’s wedding to an IT specialist in 2015. Although Tom did not attend, he was still invited and it was reported that the Super Pilot star paid for the entire wedding.
Connor is married to Silvia Zanchi, an Italian woman and Scientologist who was also raised in the religion. According to the media, Nicole was banned by Tom from attending her adopted son’s wedding. “Tom is behind this. He called Connor and told him to do it. Connor worships what his father does. Tom never even considered inviting Nicole to important parties because she was considered oppressive by the sect,” the source told People .
Isabella now lives outside London. She works as an auditor for the church’s UK branch. She also works as an artist and has even launched her own fashion line. Connor remains a senior member of the Church of Scientology at its headquarters in Clearwater, Florida, and is content to live a quiet life away from the spotlight.
