Tom Cruise may keep quiet about his kids, but the “Top Gun: Maverick” actor is a father of three.

The Golden Globe winner became a parent while married to Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001.

After struggling to conceive, the former couple adopted daughter Isabella and son Connor in 1992 and 1995, respectively.

Amid their divorce, the “Big Little Lies” alum suffered an ectopic pregnancy . After splitting from Cruise and moving on with Keith Urban , Kidman later welcomed daughters Sunday and Faith via surrogate.

As for Cruise, he moved on with Katie Holmes in 2005. The duo welcomed their daughter, Suri, in April 2006, seven months before tying the knot in Italy.

Holmes filed for divorce from the Oscar nominee in June 2012, and their divorce was settled the following month. Keep scrolling to meet Cruise’s kids.

Isabella Jane Cruise

Kidman and Cruise adopted Isabella shortly after she was born in 1992, and their daughter has followed in the “Mission: Impossible” star’s Scientologist footsteps.

In a March 2019 newsletter for the organization, Isabella thanked her dad “for everything.”

Although Kidman keeps quiet about her relationship with Isabella, she did speak about her adult children in a November 2018 Who interview .

“They are adults,” the Emmy winner said of Isabella and Connor at the time. “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.

“I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is.”

Connor Anthony Kidman Cruise

Connor was also raised in the Church of Scientology after being adopted in 1995.

Cruise and Kidman’s adult son is active on social media and has documented his fishing trips, his new buzzcut hairstyle and more.

Over the years, Connor and his dad have been photographed on rare outings.

The duo watched basketball games together in Connor’s younger years, and have more recently been spotted boarding a helicopter and hanging out on the “Jack Reacher” set.

Suri Cruise

Holmes gave birth to Suri in 2006 and has maintained a close bond with her daughter.

The “Dawson’s Creek” alum told Town & Country in 2017 that she provides the little one with a “stable and innocent” childhood .

Cruise, however, still has “no part” of his youngest child’s life , a source exclusively told Page Six in March 2022.

In a 2012 defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media, the “Jerry Maguire” star said he didn’t see Suri for three months after his and Holmes’ breakup.

“Listen, when there is a divorce … things change,” Cruise said. “It’s not an ideal situation.”

Ex-Scientologist Leah Remini has asserted that Cruise “can’t be connected” to Suri because Holmes is considered a “suppressive person” or “enemy” in the religion.

Actor Tom Cruise is the star of several box-office hits, including Risky Business , A Few Good Men , The Firm , Jerry Maguire , and the Mission: Impossible franchise.

Who Is Tom Cruise?

Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, better known as Tom Cruise, was born on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, New York, to Mary and Thomas Mapother. Cruise's mother was an amateur actress and schoolteacher, and his father was an electrical engineer. His family moved around a great deal when Cruise was a child to accommodate his father's career.

Cruise's parents divorced when he was 11, and the children moved with their mother to Louisville, Kentucky, and then to Glen Ridge, New Jersey, after she remarried. Like his mother and three sisters, Cruise suffered from dyslexia, which made academic success difficult for him. He excelled in athletics, however, and considered pursuing a career in professional wrestling until a knee injury sidelined him during high school.

At age 14, Cruise enrolled in a Franciscan seminary with thoughts of becoming a priest, but he left after a year. When he was 16, a teacher encouraged him to participate in the school's production of the musical Guys and Dolls . After Cruise won the lead of Nathan Detroit, he found himself surprisingly at home on the stage, and a career was born.

'Taps,' 'The Outsiders'

Cruise set a 10-year deadline for himself in which to build an acting career. He left school and moved to New York City, struggling through audition after audition before landing an appearance in 1981's Endless Love , starring Brooke Shields. Around this same time, he snagged a small role in the military school drama Taps (1981), co-starring Sean Penn .

His role in Taps was upgraded after director Harold Becker saw Cruise's potential, and his performance caught the attention of a number of critics and filmmakers. In 1983, Cruise appeared in Francis Ford Coppola 's The Outsiders , which also starred Emilio Estevez , Matt Dillon and Rob Lowe —all prominent members of a group of young actors the entertainment press dubbed the "Brat Pack." The film was not well received, but it allowed Cruise to work with an acclaimed director on a high-profile project.

'Risky Business'

His next film, Risky Business (1983), grossed $65 million. It also made Cruise a highly recognizable actor — thanks in no small part to a memorable scene of the young star dancing in his underwear.

In 1986, after a two-year hiatus, the budding actor released the big-budget fantasy film Legend , which did poorly at the box office. That same year, however, Cruise's A-list status was confirmed with the release of Top Gun , which co-starred Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan . The testosterone-fueled action-romance, set against the backdrop of an elite naval flight school, became the highest-grossing film of 1986.

'The Color of Money,' 'Rain Man' and 'Born on the Fourth of July'

Cruise followed the tremendous success of Top Gun with a string of both critically acclaimed and commercially successful films. He first starred in The Color of Money (1986) with co-star Paul Newman , and then went on to work with Dustin Hoffman on Rain Man (1988). Cruise's next role, as Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic in the biopic Born on the Fourth of July (1989), earned him an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe for Best Actor.

'A Few Good Men,' 'The Firm' and 'Interview with a Vampire'

In 1992, Cruise proved once more that he could hold his own opposite a screen legend when he co-starred with Jack Nicholson in the military courtroom drama A Few Good Men . The film grossed more than $15 million its first weekend and earned Cruise a Golden Globe nomination. He continued to demonstrate his success as a leading man with The Firm (1993) and Interview with a Vampire (1994), which co-starred Brad Pitt.

'Mission: Impossible,' 'Jerry McGuire'

Next, Cruise hit the big screen with two huge hits—the $64 million blockbuster Mission: Impossible (1996), which the star also produced, and the highly acclaimed Jerry McGuire (1996), directed by Cameron Crowe. For the latter, Cruise earned a second Academy Award nomination and Golden Globe for Best Actor.

'Eyes Wide Shut,' 'Magnolia'

Cruise and then-wife Kidman spent much of 1997 and 1998 in England shooting Eyes Wide Shut , an erotic thriller that would be director Stanley Kubrick 's final film. The movie came out in the summer of 1999 to mixed reviews, but that year Cruise enjoyed greater success with the release of Magnolia . His performance as a self-confident sex guru in the ensemble film earned him another Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

'Vanilla Sky,' 'The Last Samurai'

Cruise then starred in the long-awaited smash hit Mission: Impossible 2 in 2000, alongside Anthony Hopkins , Thandie Newton and Ving Rhames. In 2002, he starred in Vanilla Sky , his second collaboration with Crowe, as well as Steven Spielberg 's Minority Report . The following year, Cruise traveled to Australia to shoot the $100 million war epic The Last Samurai, which earned him another Golden Globe nomination.

'War of the Worlds'

Cruise proved he remained a top draw by starring in the Spielberg-directed remake of the science-fiction classic War of the Worlds (2005), which grossed more than $230 million at the box office.

His next effort, Mission: Impossible 3 (2006), also scored well with audiences. However, Cruise was faced with a professional setback in August when Paramount Pictures ended its 14-year relationship with the actor. The company's chairman cited Cruise's erratic behavior and controversial views as the reason for the split, though industry experts noted that Paramount more likely ended the partnership over Cruise's high earnings from the Mission: Impossible franchise.

Cruise quickly rebounded and on November 2, 2006, he announced his new partnership with film executive Paula Wagner and the United Artists film studio. Their first production as a team, the political drama Lions for Lambs (2007), proved a commercial disappointment despite a strong cast that included Meryl Streep and Robert Redford .

'Tropic Thunder'

Taking a break from weighty material, Cruise delighted audiences with his performance in the comedy Tropic Thunder (2008). Despite his relatively small role in a movie that featured Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller , Cruise stood out by obscuring his trademark good looks to play a balding, obese movie studio executive.

'Valkyrie,' 'Rock of Ages'

In December 2008, Cruise released his second project through United Artists. The film, Valkyrie , was a World War II drama about a plot to assassinate German leader Adolf Hitler . Cruise starred as a German army officer who became involved in the conspiracy.

Cruise returned to one of his most popular franchises in 2011 with Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol . Breaking into new territory, he then starred in the 2012 musical Rock of Ages . Although Cruise received some positive reviews for his performance as a rock star, the movie failed to attract much of an audience.

'Jack Reacher,' 'Edge of Tomorrow'

Returning to his mainstream action roots, Cruise starred in the 2012 crime drama Jack Reacher , based on a book by Lee Child. He then headlined a pair of science-fiction adventures, Oblivion (2013) and Edge of Tomorrow (2014). Showing no signs of slowing down, the veteran actor in 2015 delivered his usual high-energy performance for the fifth installment of his blockbuster franchise, Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation .

Latest Movies and Familiar Franchises

In 2016, Cruise reprised the role of Jack Reacher for Never Go Back . He then headlined a reboot of The Mummy (2017), which performed respectably at the box office but was savaged by critics, before earning better reviews later that year for the crime thriller American Made .

2018 brought a return to familiar territory for Cruise, who starred in Mission Impossible —Fallout that summer. Prior to its release, he tweeted a photo to mark day 1 of production on the long-awaited sequel Top Gun: Maverick , scheduled for a June 2020 release.

Scientology and Personal Life

Cruise married actress Mimi Rogers in 1987. It was through Rogers that the actor became a student of Scientology, the religion founded by writer L. Ron Hubbard. Cruise credited the church with curing his dyslexia, and he soon became one of its leading proponents. However, while his spiritual life flourished, his marriage to Rogers ended in 1990. That same year, Cruise made the racecar drama Days of Thunder alongside Kidman. Though the movie was unpopular among critics and fans alike, the two lead actors had real chemistry. On Christmas Eve 1990, after a brief courtship, Cruise and Kidman married in Telluride, Colorado.

Divorce from Kidman

For much of the 1990s, Cruise and Kidman found themselves fiercely defending the happiness and legitimacy of their marriage. They filed two different lawsuits against tabloid publications for stories they considered libelous. In each case, the couple received a published retraction and apology, along with a large monetary settlement which they donated to charity. The couple has two children, Isabella and Connor.

On February 5, 2001, Cruise and Kidman announced their separation after 11 years of marriage. The couple cited the difficulties involved with two acting careers and the amount of time spent apart while working. Following the divorce, Cruise briefly dated his Vanilla Sky co-star Penelope Cruz , followed by a much-publicized relationship with actress Katie Holmes. A month after his ties to Holmes became public, Cruise professed his love for the actress in a now-famous appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, during which he jumped on Winfrey's sofa, shouting "Yes!"

Marriage to Katie Holmes

In June 2005, after a two-month courtship, Cruise proposed to Holmes in a restaurant at the top of the Eiffel tower. In October, they announced that they were expecting their first child together. The hasty proposal and surprise pregnancy quickly became tabloid gossip. But Cruise made even bigger headlines that year as an outspoken advocate for Scientology. He openly criticized former co-star Brooke Shields for using anti-depressants during her recovery from postpartum depression. He also denounced psychiatry and modern medicine, claiming Scientology held the key to true healing. Cruise's statements led to a heated argument with news anchor Matt Lauer on The Today Show in June 2005, for which Cruise later apologized.

In 2006, Cruise and Holmes welcomed daughter Suri into the world. That year, they were married in an Italian castle, with celebrities Will Smith , Jada Pinkett Smith , Jennifer Lopez and Victoria and David Beckham among those in attendance. However, the storybook romance wouldn't last, and in June 2012, the couple announced their separation.

Tom Cruise’s Kids: Everything to Know About His Mysterious Relationships With Connor, Isabella & Suri

Tom Cruise may be the biggest movie star, but he's also a family man! We've got all the details on Tom Cruise's relationships with his son Connor and daughters Isabella and Suri.

Tom Cruise is an iconic actor, but more importantly, he’s a father. The Top Gun star, who has been married three times , shares two adopted kids — Connor Cruise  and Isabella ‘Bella’ Cruise  — with his ex-wife, Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman . He also has one biological child, a daughter named Suri  with his other ex-wife, Katie Holmes .

Tom lives an extremely private life, despite being a major movie star. While he may hit the occasional red carpet if he has a movie premiering, the actor is rarely photographed anywhere else, or with his kids. Though, he does have a relationship with all three. Tom was most recently seen in a photo in December 2023 with his and Nicole’s children, Connor and Bella, after athlete Derrick Brooks shared a group shot to Instagram .

Isabella Cruise

Tom and Nicole adopted Connor and Isabella during their decade-long marriage in the ’90s. Isabella, who was born on December 22, 1992, took a page out of her father’s book by adopting a lifestyle away from the spotlight, however, she recently resurfaced on her Instagram  with a selfie on August 25, and fans went wild. The new photo came four months after she last shared a photo of her face online, so her followers were elated to see her sharing a new picture of herself.

The London-based artist owns a company with the title of her namesake, “Bella Kidman Cruise,” which sells phone cases, tote bags, and more. As far as her personal life is concerned, Bella married Max Parker , an IT consultant, in an intimate ceremony in London in September of 2015. Neither Bella’s nor Max’s parents attended, which led to speculation that she was estranged from her parents. Though, that was later proven not to be the case .

“Of course [we talk], they’re my parents. Anyone who says otherwise is full of sh-t,” Isabella told Daily Mail in March of 2016. When asked if it was hard not to have Tom walk Isabella down the aisle to give her away, Max admitted, “Yeah. It is what it is.” Isabella also has a good relationship with her mother, whose last name is included in her company’s name. And, she’s close with her brother, Connor, which is evidenced by various social media posts.

Isabella caused a slight stir in July 2021 when she and brother Connor both posted a selfie – a rare thing from these private kids – on the same day. Bella’s selfie was taken during the Euro Championship when England took on Denmark. “My face during extra time. Fingers crossed,” she captioned the shot. It clearly worked, as England prevailed. Earlier in the year, Bella posted another selfie – a black and white photo advertising prints in her shop. When Isabella shared a snap in September 2021 , fans thought she looked amazing.

Connor Cruise

Just like his sister, Connor, who was born on January 17, 1995, also enjoys living a private life. Though, he was very much in the spotlight in the past. Connor briefly followed in his parents’ footsteps and starred in two films — 2008’s Seven Pounds and 2012’s Red Dawn remake. The well-accomplished DJ eventually pursued his passion for deep-sea fishing, though, and now spends a lot of time in Clearwater, Florida, as seen on his Instagram page. Connor is very close with his sister, which was further proven by a cute throwback photo he shared to his Instagram in August 2019.

Connor appears to be quite close with his dad, too, as the two were most recently spotted together in October 2019. The father and son bonded over the actor’s love for helicopters, according to People — which reported that Tom took Connor on a chopper in London to show him “some aviation basics.” In 2012, Connor tweeted a black and white baby photo of himself, along with Isabella, in the arms of Tom.

While on a fishing trip in Costa Rica in February 2021, Connor showed off a catch that was almost bigger than him. “ Yellowfin were chewing today ,” he captioned the shot. He became an “ influencer ” in March of that year, launching the @connorsmeatshack IG account with his friend, Kim Joyce . The BBQ-themed account featured Connor’s love of grilling, and the man knows his way around a “rolled cap of ribeye and some lobstah tails,” as he put it . When the summer months rolled around, Connor decided to shave off his hair. “ New face, who dis? ” he captioned a June 8 IG story.

While on an August 2022 fishing trip with friends, Connor showed off his catch – a massive fish he hauled in from the ocean. In his most recent post, Connor revealed that he and his fishing buddies donated a large portion of their catch — “108 pounds of grouper” to be exact — to a charity. “I know it was tough to fit that in the truck but glad the fish was able to go and help those in need of it!!,” he wrote. Overall, Connor is enjoying a life of fishing, grilling, and living in the great outdoors.

Suri Cruise

Following his 2001 divorce from Nicole, Tom went on to marry Katie Holmes in 2006. They welcomed their only biological child, a daughter named Suri, that same year on April 18. Suri made her magazine debut on the October 2006 cover of Vanity Fair with her then-married parents. The accompanying photoshoot showed the family smiling while cuddled up together. Unfortunately, the trio didn’t have a happily ever after. Tom and Katie eventually divorced in 2012, and the actor has rarely been seen out with his daughter since the split. Believe it or not, one of their last photographs together was at Disneyland on January 25, 2012.

Tom’s relationship with Suri is a tumultuous one , multiple sources have expressed to  Hollywood Life . “As challenging as things have become for him and his daughter, he still loves her,” an insider told us in April 2019. “Tom never intended to be estranged from his daughter when he decided to have a family with Katie, and he looks forward to repairing their relationship one day,” the source said. Tom and Katie have never spoken publicly about his estranged relationship with Suri. And it’s unclear when the actor and his now teenage daughter last saw one another. Suri resides with her mother in New York City, where she attends school.

While Tom and Suri’s relationship has remained strained, she has continued to have a positive connection with her mother. Suri and Katie are often seen together on the streets of New York City. Suri turned 18 in 2024.

"I always want the highest level of talent," Holmes said in an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment. "So, I asked her. She's very, very talented. She said she would do it, and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing. That's the way I direct in general. It's like, 'This is what I think we all want — go do your thing.'"

Everything to know about Tom Cruise's three children, Bella, Connor and Suri

By Natacha Maloon | 3 years ago

Tom Cruise is a bonafide Hollywood star, but he's also a father of three children.

Despite being a major movie star Tom has managed to keep his private life quiet over the years.

The Top Gun actor's marriage to Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes made him a dad to Bella Cruise , Connor Cruise and Suri Cruise.

Here's everything we know about the Hollywood A-lister's children.

How many kids does Tom Cruise have?

Tom has three kids!

He shares two adopted children with Kidman, daughter Bella, now 28, and son Connor, now 26. The pair divorced in 2001.

The actor was then married to Holmes between 2006 and 2012. The pair welcomed their biological daughter Suri Cruise, who is now 15.

Does Tom Cruise see his children?

It's hard to know exactly how often Tom sees his children, but he appears to have maintained a closer relationship with Bella and Connor.

They are both dedicated Scientologists like their father.

In 2016, Bella told The Daily Mail that she is still in regular communication with her parents.

"Of course we talk, they're my parents", adding, anyone who claims they don't is "full of s--t".

Connor was most recently seen with Tom during an outing in London in 2019.

"Tom and Connor stepping out together in London was a big deal," a source told People at the time. "It was the same weekend that Scientology does their annual gathering called the International Association of Scientologists (ASI). Tom has attended numerous times in the past, but this appears to be the first time Connor has gone."

It's believed Tom is mostly estranged from his daughter Suri. However, this claim has never been confirmed.

He was last seen holding her in 2012 when he was boarding a helicopter.

Why did Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman adopt?

When Kidman married the Hollywood star, she was excited about the prospect of being a mother.

Sadly, she endured an ectopic pregnancy and lost her first child during her marriage to Tom. The experience influenced her decision to ultimately adopt.

"From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies," Kidman previously told Marie Claire in 2007. "And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic."

The pair tried to have a baby again, but Kidman suffered a miscarriage in 2001. Tom filed for divorce that same year.

Does Nicole Kidman talk to Connor and Bella?

It's been widely speculation that Kidman doesn't see her adopted kids that often. Their devotion to the Church of Scientology is believed to be the reason she keeps a distance.

The Big Little Lies actress has spoken about her relationship with them on a handful of occasions.

In 2018, she opened up about her adopted kids' choice to be Scientologists.

"They are adults," Kidman said in an interview with WHO magazine. "They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, and it's my job to love them. 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."

Meanwhile, Connor told Woman's Day in 2014, "I love my mum. I don't care what people say. I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot".

Kidman went on to marry country singer Keith Urban in 2006. The couple are the parents to two daughters: Sunday, 12, and Faith, 10.

What does Bella Cruise do?

She owns a company called 'Bella Kidman Cruise' where she sells t-shirts and tote bags.

Is Bella Cruise still married?

She sure is!

Bella has been married to Max Parker since 2015. Parker is an IT consultant and the pair got married after less than a year of dating.

Where is Connor Cruise now?

Connor is now a DJ and musician living in Florida.

In 2013, he released a song titled 'Closer to Heaven' and starred in 2008's Seven Pounds and 2012's Red Dawn . In March this year, he also announced he'd be starting a food Instagram account.

"Connor lives in Clearwater, which is the church's main hub. He still deejays but he has really become a big fishing guy. He's content with living a quieter life," a source told People in April this year.

On June 9, he debuted a new look for his followers on social media.

"New face, who dis?" Connor captioned a selfie of him without his shaggy hair and thick beard.

Are Bella and Connor Cruise Scientologists?

They sure are!

In September 2019, Kidman opened up to The Sun about the highs and lows of being a parent.

"Motherhood is about the journey," she said. "There are going to be incredible peaks and valleys, whether you are an adopting mother or a birth mother. What a child needs is love. They have made choices to be Scientologists. It's our job as a parent to always offer unconditional love."

Who has custody of Bella and Connor Cruise?

When Tom and Kidman split, he retained custody of the children.

What does Suri Cruise look like now?

Suri keeps a low profile.

She was photographed on the streets of New York with Holmes in 2019.

The same year, Holmes shared a black-and-white photo of her posing with Suri on Instagram.

In April this year, the Dawson's Creek actress shared several pics for Suri's 15th birthday.

"Happy 15th Birthday Sweetheart! I love you!!!!!!!! ❤️💕😘 I can't believe you are already 15," Holmes captioned the slideshow of images on Instagram.

Does Bella Cruise have social media?

Bella joined Instagram in 2018. She keeps her account filled with pieces of her artwork. You can follow her at @bellakidmancruise.

Does Connor Cruise have social media?

He sure does! You can follow him on @theconnorcruise.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Kids': Inside Their Private Lives and Scientology Connections

From daughter Isabella's written testimonial about Scientology to son Connor's private life in Florida

Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars — but his children have maintained a relatively private life.

The 56-year-old actor’s daughter Isabella , 26, with ex-wife Nicole Kidman , recently opened up about her involvement in Scientology to fellow church members .

Kidman and Cruise, a high-ranking Scientologist, also have a son, Connor, 24. The two divorced in 2001.

Isabella, a fashion designer who also goes by Bella, detailed her training as an auditor for the Church of Scientology. Her testimonial was first posted by Tony Ortega, a prominent critic of the church.

Bella described the training as “exactly what I needed” telling church members, “We all need to do this. It’s hard work. It’s a lot of effort. It’s a few meltdowns and running to the bathroom to have a mini-episode, but it is worth everything because you will get through.”

An auditor within the church is extensively trained to help other members through intense self-examination sessions with the help of an electronic device called the E-meter.

She thanked her family members, including her father and his sister, Cass Mapother, for supporting her on her journey.

“Thank you to my Dad for everything,” she wrote. “I would have drowned in my own problems if you hadn’t been there to sup [sic] me or get me through the preliminaries. It took a whole family and an org to get me here.”

She also thanked “COB,” or the church’s chairman of the board, David Miscavige, as well as Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Bella and her siblings’ low-key lives have been protected by their famous parents.

In July 2018, a source told PEOPLE Cruise “loves all his children. And each of them has a right to their own story .”

The actor also has 12-year-old daughter Suri with ex-wife Katie Holmes .

Bella lives a quiet life in London with her husband, Max Parker, whom she married in 2015. Though neither of her parents attended the wedding, Cruise helped pay for the nuptials and party afterward, and a Kidman source told PEOPLE in October 2015 that the actress “is very happy for Bella.”

Connor also leads a private life in Clearwater, Fla., near Scientology headquarters. Though Connor used to DJ, he now spends much of his time deep-sea fishing and even competed in the sport earlier this year .

“Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “He lives in his own home in a Scientology community. His life is deep-sea fishing. He has a lot of friends and seems very well-liked.”

Suri has lived with her mom in New York City and L.A. since Holmes and Cruise’s 2012 divorce. Neither Cruise nor Holmes has ever addressed speculation about his relationship with her.

She was seen selling lemonade during the Pride parade in N.Y.C. in June and loves helping people, according to her mom.

“My little one is very, very generous and very sensitive,” Holmes said about Suri in 2015 on Today . “She’s always [saying], ‘Mom, let’s give my old toys to people who need it .’ So we’re always doing that.”

Tom Cruise Kids: How Close Are They Amid Rumors Scientology Keeps Him From Suri

While he’s known as Mission Impossible’s  secret agent Ethan Hunt to most of the world, to Tom Cruise’s kids , he’s simply dad—and there’s truly no greater role than that.

Suri Cruise

Suri is Tom Cruise’s youngest child. The Academy Award-nominated actor welcomed his daughter in April 2006 with his then-wife, Katie Holmes, whom he first started dating in June 2005. The former couple reportedly got engaged that same year after only seven weeks of dating. Around the same time, Holmes, who was raised Catholic, reportedly began converting to Cruise’s Church of Scientology. The pair ultimately split in 2012, and it is believed that the Dawson’s Creek alum filed for divorce from Cruise in part to “ protect ” their daughter Suri from Scientology.

Holmes talked about how she wanted to give her child a normal childhood. She told Town & Country at the time, “My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now. 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.”

Connor Cruise

Tom Cruise’s only son, Connor, was born in January 1995. The  Risky Business  star adopted Connor shortly after his birth with his then-wife, Nicole Kidman. The former couple, who got married in December 1990 and divorced in 2001, also adopted a daughter, Isabella, three years before they welcomed their son.

Isabella Cruise

Isabella “Bella” Cruise is Tom Cruise’s eldest child. Bella was adopted by Cruise and his then-wife Nicole Kidman during their marriage, which lasted for a decade until 2001. Like her dad, Bella is a notoriously private person. What we do know about her is that she’s currently based in London, where she works as an artist and owns her own company. Bella is also married to Max Parker, an IT consultant.

When Bella got married in 2015, there was some speculation that she was estranged from her mother and father because neither attended the wedding. The artist has since shut down those claims, telling the  Daily Mail  in 2016, “Of course [we talk], they’re my parents. Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit.”

Positive Messages

Could be seen as a cautionary tale about leaving well enough alone -- i.e. "curiosity killed the cat."

Positive Role Models

The main character is a hard-drinking scoundrel/thief, but he does a few heroic things when the situation arises. As the movie ends, the jury's still out on him. The mummy is played by a woman (a first), but while she's powerful, she's not exactly a role model. Limited diversity within the cast.

Violence & Scariness

Frequent, loud fantasy/monster violence, with a few blood spatters. Neck slicing. Stabbing with knives, spears, and darts. Guns and shooting. Explosions. A flock of birds smashes through the front of a plane. Plane crash (not shown), car crash. Some jump-scares. Scary faces, relentless zombie attacks. A lab full of skeletons and other gross things.

Sex, Romance & Nudity

Male-and-female sensuality. Kissing. Lovers shown in bed together. No nudity seen, but it's implied in several scenes. A mostly-obscured naked bottom. A man is naked, but nothing is seen beyond his torso and legs. Subtle, suggestive sex talk. A man stares at a woman's belly button. Brief flirting.

A use of "s--t" and "a--hole." A use of "son of a bitch" (partly obscured by noise), plus "hell," "damn," and "oh my god" as an exclamation.

Products & Purchases

Nothing in the movie, but part of a larger franchise with some associated merchandising/licensing.

Drinking, Drugs & Smoking

The main character quickly downs several glasses of liquor in more than one scene, with no effect/impact or consequence.

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that The Mummy is a monster movie reboot starting Tom Cruise . It has very little to do with either the 1932 Boris Karloff version or the 1999 Brendan Fraser take on the story . Rather, it's the first in Universal's new "Dark Universe" series, which is planned to be an interconnected franchise much like the DC and Marvel superhero movies. Expect fairly strong, very loud fantasy/action violence, with some blood spatters, guns and shooting, stabbings, fighting and punching, crashes and explosions, jump scares, zombies, and a lab full of gross things. There are several mildly suggestive sexual references, too, including partly naked and/or obscured male and female bodies, kissing, a couple shown in bed together, and sensuality. Language is infrequent but includes "a--hole" and "son of a bitch," as well as "hell" and "damn." The main character, who's presented as a hard drinker, quickly downs several glasses of liquor in more than one scene, with no effect. This film marks the first Universal Mummy movie to have the central monster played by a woman. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails .

Absolute waste of time

Way more violent and dark than i expected, too much for young teenagers or tweens., what's the story.

In THE MUMMY, Nick Morton ( Tom Cruise ) and Chris Vail ( Jake Johnson ) are military recon men who use their positions to hunt treasure in the Middle East and sell it on the black market. During one explosive mission, they discover an Egyptian tomb with a most unusual sarcophagus inside, heavily protected by a pool of mercury. Archeologist Jenny Halsey ( Annabelle Wallis ) and the two men liberate it. But a sandstorm arises, and a flock of birds smashes into their plane. Nick wakes up, miraculously alive but now cursed. He's now the "chosen one" of the mummy, a banished princess called Ahmanet ( Sofia Boutella ). She's bent on obtaining a special knife and gemstone to carry out a terrifying ritual, at the possible cost of Nick's life. Only Dr. Henry Jekyll ( Russell Crowe ) can help!

Is It Any Good?

The first entry in Universal's Dark Universe monster series gets things off to a so-so start; it tries to be a crowd-pleaser, but it seems its makers never decided exactly what kind of movie it is. Like the 1999 movie of the same name , The Mummy is an action movie above all. It casts Nick as a lovable scoundrel, and it makes many attempts at snappy humor between him and the other characters. There's also at least one clever fight scene. But aside from a couple of simple jump-scares and references to other monsters, it's not really a horror movie or a monster movie (it doesn't really care about the monster), and it probably won't warrant repeat viewings at Halloween time.

Director Alex Kurtzman has worked as a screenwriter on plenty of big, loud action movies (including two Transformers entries), but he's only helmed one other movie, the sentimental drama People Like Us . Though the FX department on The Mummy provided him with great-looking sandstorms, spiders, rats, undead soldiers, and other nifty things, he can't seem to balance the humor with the action or the action with the monsters. Some of it is confusing, dull, or both. Much of it is entertaining in separate chunks, but they don't add up to very much.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about The Mummy 's violence . Does it go over the top, or does it seem appropriate for the story? How did it make you feel? What's the impact of media violence on kids?

Is the movie scary ? What's the appeal of scary movies/monster movies?

Did you think about the fact that this was the first time the mummy has been played by a woman? What impact does that have on the story? The character?

Is the main character likable even though he's a thief? Why or why not? How do movies and TV shows make scoundrels sympathetic?

In two scenes, Nick drinks a lot, very quickly. Are there consequences? Why does that matter?

How Many Films Did Tom Cruise And Nicole Kidman Star In Together?

When we talk about the '90s power couples, there are a few that have stuck in our minds through the decades. Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman , Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow, Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford, and of course, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. These iconic couples had people invested in their relationships from the moment they were spotted arm-in-arm on a red carpet all the way to the second news of their breakups broke.

Kidman and Cruise, in particular, caused a great stir when their marriage ended. Everybody remembers the striking image of Kidman as she strolled the streets in apparent glee as the divorce was finalized. Later, the "Big Little Lies" star opened up about the relationship saying, "Our life together was perfect. It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system," she added, "That was a great relationship. I think it ran its course. I was really damaged and not sure whether [love and marriage] was ever going to happen again to me," via InTouch Weekly . 

But as we all know, it all worked out in the end. Kidman found love in singer Keith Urban while Cruise went on to marry Katie Holmes and have a child with her before splitting up after six years of matrimony. And while Cruise and Kidman's marriage didn't last, it's safe to say their contributions to cinema will stand the test of time, especially in the movies they did together. 

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise starred in three movies together

Unsurprisingly, the two Hollywood stars' paths first crossed on the set of the film, "Days of Thunder." In a 2017 interview with People , Nicole Kidman fondly reminisced about the first time she saw Tom Cruise during an audition for her role in the film, "I remember being so nervous and seeing Tom Cruise drive up in a Porsche [. . .] and he got out of the car and walked through, and I was like 'Ah!' and my jaw dropped." She also added that she was intimidated auditioning in front of the movie's executives and Cruise and believed she wouldn't get the part. But she was called and offered the role on the very same day.

Although Kidman had previously gained notoriety from working in the Australian thriller, "Dead Calm," and several other Australian films, she broke through the American film scene with "Days of Thunder." At the time of filming, Kidman was 22, while Cruise was 28 and in the process of getting a divorce from his first wife, Mimi Rogers. In a 1995 interview with Playboy , Rogers would share that the marriage primarily ended due to Cruise's desire to become a monk, which didn't happen. Months before the film's release in 1990, the divorce was finalized and Kidman and Cruise went public shortly after. The actors wed in a private ceremony on Christmas Eve that same year.

Eyes Wide Shut was one of their most notable projects

In 1992, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise appeared in their first film as a married couple, "Far and Away." And while the film did relatively well, their big break as an iconic Hollywood couple would happen in 1999 with Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut." The official trailer for the film featured several explicit scenes, including some steamy kisses shared between the real-life couple.

Unsurprisingly, the couple's chemistry sizzled in the erotic mystery. In 1995, the couple admitted to Vanity Fair that their initial attraction was sexual. Kidman gushed, "I thought he was the sexiest man I'd ever seen in my life." And Cruise also said something similar, "Instant lust, that's what I felt," he added, "I thought she was amazingly sexy and stunning. It grew into love and respect."

Due to the themes of infidelity in the movie and their striking performances, many believed that Kidman and Cruise were tapping into real-life emotions. But Kidman denied these rumors in a 2020 interview with The New York Times , "We were happily married through that," she added, "We would go go-kart racing after those scenes. We'd rent out a place and go racing at 3 in the morning." Sadly, the couple's divorce was finalized in 2001 after 11 years of marriage. Although the pair has been vague about what went down behind the scenes, many have speculated that this might be why they really got divorced . 

Nicole Kidman Allegedly Wants Tom Cruise To Convince Their Kids To See Her

• Nicole Kidman struggles with relationship with adopted kids, wants help from Tom Cruise to bridge the gap.
• Kids Connor and Isabella are loyal to Tom Cruise due to Scientology connection, causing distance from Nicole.
• Despite the distance, Nicole refuses to speak negatively about Scientology, respecting her kids' beliefs.

Tom Cruise proved he’s close with his oldest children when a group photo surfaced on social media earlier this month , but apparently Nicole Kidman doesn’t have the same close relationship – and she wants her ex-husband’s help.

Speaking to Heat Magazine , a source claimed that Connor and Isabella Cruise have little communication with their famous mother, but she’s hopeful it could change.

'Mission Impossible': The Cast Ranked From Richest To Poorest

Tom could help repair nicoles relationship with their kids.

“There’s still love and respect between Nicole and the kids, but she rarely sees them,” the source shared. “The big issue is they’re both still attached to Scientology, while Nicole left the church. Their loyalty is to their dad, who raised them after Nicole filed for divorce.”

“She would have loved to share custody, but she wasn’t able to make it happen. Now, she really has no choice but to accept the way things are, even though it’s painful for her,” they continued.

While the insider said the kids may change their tune if Tom encouraged them to see Nicole, they said she’s not holding her breath. “She worries that they’ve drifted to a point where she’ll be lucky if she’ll ever get to see them. It would help if Tom were to encourage it, but that’s not likely,” they explained.

What Are Tom Cruise And Nicole Kidman's Adopted Kids Doing Today?

Nicole has previously admitted Connor and Bella chose to live with Cruise after their divorce, causing distance between them. In 2007, Kidman said they even call her by their her first name.

“My kids don't call me mommy, they don't even call me mom. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it,” she said.

Nicole Refuses To Talk Negatively About Her Kids Religion

Despite the reported distance between Nicole and her kids, she’s refused to talk negatively about their controversial religion, Scientology. Isabella is even a high ranking church official, revealing a few years she was named an auditor in a promotional video for the church.

"I've chosen not to speak publicly about Scientology. I have two children who are ScientologistsConnor and Isabellaand I utterly respect their beliefs, she said in 2013.

A few years later, in 2018, the Big Little Lies actress opened up about why she’s so private about her oldest children (she also shares two younger daughters with her current husband Keith Urban).

"I'm very private about all that. 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," Nicole said to Australia’s WHO magazine.

Tom and Nicole first met on the set of their film Days of Thunder in 1989, and their relationship quickly blossomed. They married in December 1990, and later adopted two children, Isabella in 1992 and Connor in 1995. However, after eleven years of marriage, they divorced in 2001, citing irreconcilable differences.

Kidman went on to marry country singer Keith Urban in 2006, while Cruise married actress Katie Holmes in 2006 as well, though they divorced in 2012.

Tom Cruise's Relationship With His Kids Revealed After He Steps Out In Public With Them For The First Time In Years

Tom Cruise was spotted with his adopted children which left fans with questions about how close the movie star is with his kids.

• Tom Cruise remains close to his adopted children despite being private about their relationship.
• Isabella and Connor Cruise share Tom's devotion to Scientology, according to reports.
• Cruise reportedly wants to reconnect with Suri now that she is an adult; hoping to build a better relationship with her.

Since Tom Cruise has starred in so many blockbuster movies , the famed actor has become richer than all of his Mission: Impossible co-stars . Thanks to Cruise's good looks, acting ability, and willingness to perform stunts at an advanced age , it also seems like his acting career won't slow down anytime soon.

Cruise's ongoing success means that the actor's fans will continue to learn facts about him including the strict rule he has for when he goes out in public . However, one fact about Cruise that very few of his fans know is how close he is to the children he shares with Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes .

This article will reveal how close Tom Cruise is to his two eldest children, Connor and Isabella whom he adopted with Nicole Kidman. Then, the article will look at the truth about Cruise's relationship with Suri Cruise , the child he shares with Katie Holmes.

Tom Cruise's Relationship With Isabella And Connor Cruise Analyzed After Their Public Appearance Together

After Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman began dating in 1989 and got married in 1990, the former couple finalized their divorce in 2001. Before their marriage ended, Cruise and Kidman adopted two children together, Isabella Cruise and Connor Cruise.

Even though Tom Cruise and Kidman are both extremely famous, many of their fans know next to nothing about their adopted children. For example, most of Cruise's devoted fans have no idea if he is close to his adopted children.

In May 2024, those fans got a rare window into Cruise's relationship with his eldest children . The reason for that is that the NFL legend, Derrick Brooks, shared a photo of himself with several notable names. The photo, that Brooks shared on Instagram, included Tom Cruise, Connor Cruise, and Isabella Cruise .

Even though Tom Cruise is one of the biggest movie stars of all time, the paparazzi have rarely captured photos of him with his adopted kids. As a result, a photo of Tom Cruise, Isabella Cruise, and Connor Cruise looking happy together appearing online was very noteworthy.

Who are Tom Cruise's children, according to Hollywood Life?

Of course, photos only capture a single moment in time. As a result, a single photo certainly isn't enough to encapsulate a relationship, since people can fake a smile for a moment.

With that in mind, it makes sense that many of Tom Cruise's fans had questions about the actor's relationship with his kids after seeing that photo.

Tom Cruise's First Ex-Wife Mimi Rogers Complained About Their Lack Of Bedroom Activity Before Taking Her Comments Back

In March 2023, The Mirror published an article about Tom Cruise's relationship with Connor Cruise and Isabella Cruise. As a part of that article, The Mirror quoted several revealing reports about Tom Cruise's relationship with his adopted children .

One example of that is the fact that The Mirror quoted People's report about how involved Connor Cruise and Isabella Cruise are with the Church of Scientology. According to the outlet, both of Tom Cruise's adopted children share their famous father's devotion to Scientology .

According to an insider who spoke to People, “Connor and Isabella grew up in the church of Scientology, they’ve been members since they were kids.” That same insider stated that Connor and Isabella Cruise are, "completely dedicated Scientologists just like Tom."

The Mirror's report also revealed that Isabella Cruise and Connor Cruise both got married in Scientology-approved ceremonies. Since then, Connor Cruise also has reportedly attended major Scientology events with Tom Cruise. For her part, Isabella Cruise is reportedly active in a UK branch of the church.

As a part of The Mirror's report about Tom Cruise's relationship with his adopted children, they revealed a sad truth about Nicole Kidman. According to the outlet, Kidman has been estranged from Isabella Cruise and Connor Cruise for many years. Furthermore, The Mirror reported that Kidman has no relationship with her adopted children because she has been labeled a "suppressive person".

Tom Cruise Once Told Fans To 'Get A Life' After Vanity Fair Asked About His Divorce From Nicole Kidman

In her role as a part of the UK branch of Scientology, Isabella Cruise reportedly paid tribute to her father . As a part of its report, The Mirror quoted an email that The Sun gained access to.

"Thank you to my Dad for everything. I would have drowned in my own problems if you hadn't been there to sup me or get me through the preliminaries."

In May 2019, Radar Online spoke to a Cruise family insider. According to what that insider told the outlet, it is hard to overstate how much Connor Cruise looks up to Tom Cruise .

"Connor worships the ground his father walks on and would never disobey Tom."

Tom Cruise Reportedly Wants To Rebuild His Relationship With Suri Cruise

After Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman got divorced, the Mission: Impossible star went on to be married to Katie Holmes between 2006 and 2012. During their marriage, Holmes famously gave birth to Tom Cruise's youngest child, Suri Cruise.

Rosie O'Donnell Publicly Made Tom Cruise The Object Of Her Lust Before Coming Out As Gay

Since Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got divorced, Suri Cruise's mom has been a major part of her life. However, it has widely been reported that Tom Cruise and Suri Cruise's relationship became more distant over time .

In fact, it was reported that when Suri Cruise was deciding where to go to school after high school, Tom Cruise had no role in those discussions. That fact is even more interesting, given that Tom Cruise agreed to pay for Suri Cruise's education as a part of his divorce agreement with Katie Holmes.

The reason for Tom Cruise not weighing in on where Suri Cruise will go to school is the father and daughter reportedly don't speak at all .

However, according to an article from The Mirror in April 2024, Tom Cruise wants to fix his relationship with Suri Cruise . The outlet reported that since Suri Cruise is now 18 years old, Tom "feels she's old enough to make her own choices".

Most importantly, Tom Cruise "wants to reach out and build a better relationship with" Suri Cruise.

Poppy Playtime Movie Coming from Legendary

By Neil Bolt

The hit kid’s horror game Poppy Playtime is getting the movie treatment as Legendary has inked a deal with creator Mob Entertainment and Angry Films to make a live-action adaptation.

Legendary will develop and produce along with Mob Entertainment and Angry Films’ Don Murphy and Susan Montford. The pair recently finished filming the horror movie Faces of Death, based on the notorious VHS tapes, for the company and has previously worked on the Transformers franchise.

The deal sees Legendary hold TV and movie rights for Poppy playtime.

Is Poppy Playtime Movie a Big Win for Legendary?

Poppy Playtime is a mascot horror game series much like its precursor, Five Nights at Freddy’s. As with that game, it became an internet sensation thanks to YouTube and Twitch. The first game amassed 12 million players on PC and Mobile, and now, three years and three chapters deep, the game series can also be found on modern consoles and has reached more than 40 million players.

While it’s not technically ”for kids,” aisles of merchandise in toy stores would say something quite different. Its cast of colorful characters, such as Huggy Wuggy, Catbee, and, of course, Poppy is a big reason it’s gained such popularity with a younger audience, where a massive market for youth-orientated horror has been lucrative for the likes of Roblox, Rainbow Friends, Garten of Banban, and Baldi’s Basics.

In the game, you must try to survive the vengeful toys waiting for you in the abandoned toy factory. Use your GrabPack to hack electrical circuits or nab anything from afar. Explore the mysterious facility… and don’t get caught.

Legendary will no doubt have looked at the success Universal had with last year’s Five Nights at Freddy’s movie , which massively outstripped Blumhouse stablemate The Exorcist Believer at the box office despite releasing on Peacock at the same time. It became Blumhouse’s biggest movie to date, showing a largely untapped audience for youth-orientated horror based on popular YouTube-centric titles.

It’s the latest step in the meteoric rise of its creators.

“When we first started this journey, we followed our passion and created a series of games and brands with the purpose of inspiring and entertaining. We’ve always dreamed big and are thrilled to have created something that has captured the hearts of tens of millions around the world,” said Co-founders Zach Belanger, CEO and Seth Belanger, CCO of Mob Entertainment. “This movie deal is a great logical next step in the growth of our transmedia entertainment company.”

Neil became a horror fan from just a nightmare-inducing glimpse of the Ghoulies VHS cover and a book on how to draw ghosts. It escalated from there and now that's almost all he writes and talks about.
