When Nicole Kidman was still married to Tom Cruise, they raised their adopted children together: daughter Isabella and son Connor. However, the actress has not maintained contact with them for many years.
As a child, Isabella was often photographed with her famous parents. Nicole and Tom sometimes took them along to events and were generally happy to show off their family idyll.
Kidman and Cruise adopted their daughter Isabella Jane shortly after her birth in Miami on December 22, 1992.
“From the moment Tom and I got married, I wanted to have children. And then we lost the baby, and it was a really traumatic experience. Then we adopted Bella,” Kidman recalled in Vanity Fair in 2007.
But after their adoptive parents’ divorce, both Isabella and Conor disappeared from the public eye. They avoided the spotlight, and Nicole stopped talking about them, as her communication with her own adopted children had been severed. Rumor has it that Scientology was the reason for this—like their adoptive father, Bella and Connor are adherents of the religion.
So the boys grew up with their adoptive father, and he, as we know, is also a rather secretive person.
Bella graduated from the Delmar Academy of Makeup and Hairstyling in West London, after which she began to pursue a career in fashion.
Bella started working at Holmes and Yang, the fashion line of Cruise’s ex-wife, Katie Holmes. In 2018, she launched her own line, BKC (from the initials of her name – Bella Kidman Cruise), and began selling T-shirts adorned with her own designs.
Things have also worked out in Bella’s personal life. In 2015, she married British IT consultant Max Parker, and although neither of her famous parents attended the wedding, Cruise reportedly helped pay for the event, while a source close to Kidman said she was “very happy for Bella.”
She still makes very few public appearances. For example, in December 2023, she attended a Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game with her father and brother—her first public appearance with her two eldest children in nearly 15 years!
But Bella does have a social media presence, where she occasionally shares glimpses of her life. For example, in December 2024, she boasted that her painting had been included in an exhibition at the Imagine Museum in Florida.
