Tom Cruise may remain estranged from his youngest daughter, Suri, but his older children are a different story.
Cruise keeps quiet about his kids, but the 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 Australian actress 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 organisation, 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 per cent 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 a 2012 defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media, the Jerry Maguire star said he didn’t see Suri for three months after his and Holmes’ break-up.
“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.
