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 widely reported, but their divorce in 2001 marked the beginning of a complicated and often distant relationship between Kidman and her adopted children.
After their divorce, both Cruise and Kidman were granted joint custody of the children, but Kidman’s busy acting career and frequent travels took a toll on her relationship with Isabella and Connor. Meanwhile, Cruise’s increasing involvement with Scientology also had a profound impact on the children’s lives.
As the years went by, Kidman’s connection with her adopted children grew more tenuous. She eventually married Keith Urban and started a new family, having biological children with the country music star. In contrast, Cruise’s second marriage to Katie Holmes also ended in divorce, with many speculating that his devotion to Scientology was a contributing factor.
Recently, photographers captured rare images of Isabella and Connor, now grown adults, sparking renewed interest in the lives of Cruise and Kidman’s adopted children. The photos offer a glimpse into the lives of these young adults, who have grown up in the shadow of their famous parents’ complicated past.
