«Exclusive footage of Cruise’s and Kidman’s adopted kids»: This is what
30 years ago, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise adopted two children. After their divorce, Kidman became distant from them, and for the first time in two years, photographers captured their grown-up children.
Once seen as one of Hollywood’s power couples, Kidman and Cruise adopted Isabella in 1992, followed by Connor. Their son was just six when the couple divorced. Although both parents were meant to share responsibility for the children, Kidman’s acting career kept her busy. “She couldn’t take time for them,” the article notes.
Kidman also struggled with Cruise’s growing involvement in Scientology, which influenced their children. “She couldn’t do anything about that and had no choice but to give up,” according to the article. As Scientology became a bigger part of their lives, Kidman found herself disconnected.
After the split, Cruise remarried but faced another divorce reportedly due to Scientology. Meanwhile, Kidman married country singer Keith Urban and had biological children with him. Over time, her communication with her adopted children faded.
Isabella and Connor were recently seen in public for the first time in two years, bringing renewed attention to their strained relationship with Kidman.
