Tom Cruise was all smiles in a rare photo with his and Nicole Kidman’s children.

The group shot, which was taken at a December 2023 hockey game and shared by former NFL player Derrick Brooks, recently resurfaced.

“Good Evening, Wow, look who stopped by my office before our [Tampa Bay Lightning] game tonight! @tomcruise,” the retired athlete, 51, gushed in his Instagram caption.

“I was a little star struck but played it cool and He said he was too!”

In the social media upload, the US actor stood with his arm around Brooks while his 29-year-old son, Connor, flashed a thumbs up from Brooks’ other side.

Cruise and Kidman’s daughter, Bella, was also in the photo, with her head poking out along with a dozen other individuals.

The former couple adopted Bella, now 31, in 1992 amid fertility struggles. Connor joined the family three years later.

Kidman, 56, and Cruise, 61, were married from 1990 to 2001.

The Mission Impossible star and his next wife, Katie Holmes, welcomed daughter Suri before divorcing — and Cruise is now estranged from the 18-year-old.

Kidman, for her part, went on to welcome daughters Sunday, 15, and Faith, 13, with husband Keith Urban.

The former Hollywood power couple adopted the pair during their 11-year marriage, which ended in late 2000.

The Big Little Lies star has issued rare statements about Isabella and Connor over the years as they have followed their dad’s Scientology-practicing footsteps, telling Who in 2018 that it’s her “job to love them.”

The Australian actress explained, “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.”

Kidman is now married to Keith Urban and together they share two daughters, Faith (left) and Sunday (right).

She also admitted to GMTV viewers in the wake of her divorce that Bella and Connor referred to her by her first name instead of “mum”.

Kidman’s eldest children have remained mostly out of the public eye.

Bella, who married husband Max Parker in 2015, shares art and occasional selfies on social media, while Connor enjoys fishing and has a barbeque business, Connor’s Meatshack.

He has made appearances with Cruise over the years, with the duo most recently stepping out together in New York City in July 2023.
