What Is Tom Cruise's Son Connor Up To Today?

When your parents are Hollywood superstars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman , it can be hard to stay out of the spotlight. But Connor Cruise has managed to maintain his privacy and carve out his own life outside of the limelight.

Connor was adopted by Cruise and Kidman when he was 1 month old and was reportedly homeschooled (via Hollywood Life ). After his parents split, Connor and his older sister, Bella, decided to stay with their dad and remain members of the Church of Scientology. Despite the fact that she rarely speaks about her two oldest children, Kidman has made it clear that they are still very much a priority for her. "They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions," she said (via Hello! ). "They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them."

When he was younger, Connor gave acting a try and landed supporting roles in 2008's "Seven Pounds," starring Will Smith, and 2012's "Red Dawn" remake, where he costarred alongside Chris Hemsworth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (via IMDb ). Connor then transitioned into working as a professional DJ under the name "DJ C-Squared" (via The Things ) and even released his own track on Spinnin Records (via Your EDM ). However, it appears that he gave up that career sometime in late 2016 (via Daily Mail ).

Connor Cruise is happily married to a fellow Scientologist

Although he has two famous parents, Connor Cruise has managed to live a relatively private life. After dabbling in acting and DJ'ing, Connor now spends most of his time as a deep-sea fisherman. The 26-year-old lives in Clearwater, Florida, and has even competed in fishing tournaments. In 2018, his team came in 3rd for the Rotary Club of Clearwater's Kingfish Tournament (via Distractify ). In addition, Connor has an Instagram account dedicated to his love of grilling called "Connor's Meatshack." 

As for his personal life, Connor reportedly married fellow Scientologist — an Italian woman named Silvia Zanchi — in 2019. Zanchi is thought to be a high-ranking member of the Church of Scientology, and there have been rumors that the marriage was arranged. The couple is rarely seen out in public together, and Zanchi doesn't appear to be active on social media. Sources are quick to point out, however, that Connor seems very happy with his life.

"Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater," a source told People . "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."

Like their father, both Connor and Isabella are Scientologists , at least according to a 2018 interview Kidman did with Australian magazine Who. 

"They have made choices to be Scientologists, and, as a mother, it's my job to love them," Kidman said in the interview . "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."

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's Son Connor Shares Rare Glimpse Into His Personal Life

Connor cruise, who spends far less time in the spotlight than parents tom cruise and nicole kidman, recently offered a rare peek at how he likes to relax..

Connor Cruise has accomplished his mission of enjoying an incredible birthday getaway. 

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman 's 26-year-old son took to Instagram over the weekend to share a photo of himself showing off his catch during a fishing trip in Costa Rica. 

"Yellowfin were chewing today #200# @hook360 @lossuenosresort," he captioned the shot. The photo features himself with a full beard as he holds up a massive tuna by the tail. Connor tagged the Los Sueños Resort and Marina, a resort in the Herradura Beach area of Costa Rica's Central Pacific Coast.

His friend Jeremy Spund posted a photo carousel to Instagram on Feb. 2 that shows Connor and a number of others enjoying the fishing expedition. 

"Costa Rica was epic... happy birthday to my brother @theconnorcruise and thanks to rest of the squad for a great few days," he wrote in part.

Among those to like Connor's post were his older biological sister Isabella "Bella" Kidman Cruise . As fans of the famous family know, Tom and Nicole adopted the pair while they were married.

Connor is an avid fisherman, and while he doesn't frequently share much about his personal life, many of his social media posts involve fishing trips. 

Both Connor and Bella typically eschew the limelight. She joined Instagram in 2018 but tends to use the platform to share her artwork and designs. 

"All that glitters is gold.. oh wait, it's just another Instagram filter," Bella, 28, captioned a selfie that she posted in August 2020. 

Tom and Nicole, who tied the knot in 1989, adopted Bella in 1992, while Connor joined the family in 1995. However, the couple ended their marriage in 2001.

Connor Cruise is enjoying summer on the golf course!

The 28-year-old son of  Tom Cruise  and  Nicole Kidman  took to his Instagram Stories over the weekend to share a rare photo of himself at the Belleair Country Club in Florida.

In the shot, Connor poses in a blue checkered polo shirt, shades, and a hat and flashes a peace sign while posing for the selfie alongside two friends.

The smiling shot was taken in Belleair, a city just a few miles away from Clearwater, Florida which, as of 2019, Connor calls home.

The re-post marks the first from Connor since an April 29 photo , which also saw the son of two of Hollywood's most famous actors, on the golf course. This time, Connor was seen at the Pelican Golf Club, also in Belleair. He rocked a similar fit, wearing in the pic, wearing a striped polo shirt, gray shorts, shades, and a hat, flashing a thumbs up while standing next to a friend on the green.

He captioned the post with some golfing emojis.

Connor has mostly stayed out of the spotlight in recent years despite his famous parents. He did, however, attend the Diesel Fashion Show for Milan Fashion Week in February.

Kidman, 55, and Cruise, 60, were married in 1990 before splitting in 2001.

While public appearances from the 28-year-old are few and far between , Connor has been photographed alongside his famous father on multiple occasions over the years, including an appearance at a 2021 October Los Angeles Dodgers game in San Francisco. The pair were photographed sitting side-by-side in the stands as Cruise took photos with fans.

Cruise and Connor were also photographed together in October 2019 in London before boarding a private helicopter.

In addition to Connor and Bella, Cruise shares 17-year-old daughter Suri with his ex-wife, Katie Holmes. Kidman, meanwhile, is also mom to daughters Sunday, 14, and Faith, 12, with husband, Keith Urban.

Connor Cruise posts rare glimpse into his private life on his birthday vacation

While Connor Cruise — the son of actors Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise — isn't super active on social media, the 26-year-old recently reaffirmed his love for the hobby that dominates his Instagram page: deep-sea fishing.

In a snapshot from his birthday trip to Costa Rica, Cruise holds up a formidable yellowfin tuna that nearly rivals his height.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CKpdyaJhWxW

"Yellowfin were chewing today," Cruise captioned the post, tagging Los Suenos Resort and Marina. According to its website, the spot features the world's best offshore marlin fishery.

Much of Cruise's Instagram activity centers on showcasing the fish that he catches — one of the few aspects of his personal life that he shares online. He and his older sister, Bella Kidman Cruise — who were both adopted by Kidman and Tom Cruise during the divorced couple's decade-long marriage — tend to stay pretty private, despite their parents' Hollywood fame. Kidman Cruise's Instagram account is primarily dedicated to her artwork, with a few rare selfies sprinkled in here and there.

Taking after their father, the siblings are members of the controversial Church of Scientology . Kidman doesn't share those beliefs but has been vocal about supporting her children's religious choices in the past.

"They are able to make their own decisions," the star of 'The Undoing' told Australia's Who Magazine in 2018. "They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, 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."

Similarly, Kidman discussed how she also respects their desire to remain out of the spotlight.

“I’m very private about all that," she said, referring to Cruise and Kidman Cruise. "I have to protect all those relationships."

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.

Tom Cruise And Nicole Kidman's Son Connor Shares Rare Photo From Golfing Trip In Florida

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's son barely ever pops out, or shares much of his personal life. Most of the times we've seen him, he's been with his dad. But recently, 28-year-old Connor Cruise shared a rare photo of a golf outing with friends.

Connor reposted the photo to his Instagram Stories. He is seen throwing up the peace sign, standing beside two of his friends.

The photo was taken at the Belleair Country Club, which is a few miles away from Clearwater, Florida, the place that Connor has come to call his home. His last Instagram post was shared over a month ago, also showing him posing alongside a friend on the golf course.

14 Questions To Ask A Child After School To Get Them Talking About Their Day

My son recently started preschool . He was so excited. We were extremely excited. Leading up to the day, he wouldn’t stop talking about it. For months leading up to the big day, he carried a backpack to day care and told me all about the dinosaurs and bugs he wanted to learn about in school. 

The morning of his first day was bittersweet. He insisted on wearing a Spider-Man shirt and bringing his beloved shark puppet. Instead of oatmeal, he wanted a big boy breakfast , which he characterized as cereal with milk. I walked him to his school bus, held back a few tears, and went about my day of work until it was time to meet his bus on the return trip.

The bus doors swung open, and his smiling face greeted me. “How was your day?” I asked eagerly. “Good,” he said. That’s it! Because I have a teen who also requires me to pull teeth to get some intel on his day at school, I had to get creative. 

Here are 14 questions to ask kids so that they'll open up to you about their day at school.

1. What made you smile today?

This question works wonders on a preschooler. It helped me discover that my son likes monarch (yes, specifically) butterflies when he told me how he saw one on the playground at recess. Once older children are in the "having school crushes" stage, these answers might change a little bit.

2. Did you help anyone today? How?

This question is hit or miss, but when it misses, there’s still an opportunity to talk to your child about what it means to help. Maybe they didn’t help someone that day, but the next time they have an opportunity to, they’ll remember this and have something to talk about that night.

3. What games did you play?

A simple question that often leads to other good memories plus some insight on how your child plays with others. For older kids or teens, swap out games with activities, sports, or fun things in general. Whatever particularly sparked their creative or fun-loving side is sure to come up.

4. Who is your favorite friend at school? Why?

I was surprised to find out that, by asking this question, my son already had a best friend after the first day of school. With older kids, asking this often is one of the best ways to stay on top of who the new friend or clique is this month.

5. Who was kind to you today?

Yes, kids are still kind to each other. Help them remember that. With littler ones, spend some time talking about what it looks like when someone is kind. It's still cool to be kind, so impress that upon your middle schoolers and high schoolers as well. 

6. What did you do to be kind today?

Let them know that you place as much emphasis on being a good person as you do on being a good student just by asking this. Like the previous question, this question can turn into a conversation about what it means to be kind. Give age-appropriate examples of kindness (sharing, smiling, saying nice things, helping), and ask them to add to the list.

7. What did your teacher say to you today?

It’s so open-ended that the answers are seemingly endless. My teen tends to tattle on himself with this one. We don't know our kids through their teachers' eyes, so it can be surprising to find out your quiet child was asked to stop talking.

8. What did you learn for the first time?

I’d never know what my kids are learning without asking! Teachers have a lot on their plates already, and communicating every lesson with parents is unreasonable. Asking this simple question is a no-pressure way to be on the same page with your child's educational team.

9. What made you frustrated today?

This is one question where it’s OK to just listen to the answer. If there’s an opportunity to offer some parental advice without preaching, take it. However, an empathetic ear is often all you need.

10. What did you read about?

Books may or may not be exciting to your kiddo. I’ve enjoyed this question with my preschooler because instead of book titles I get vague descriptions that send us into a fun guessing game where I’m always wrong. If they particularly liked the book, and give you an actual title, even better. Now you have something to add to their library.

11. Tell me about the rules in class.

It’s not totally a fun question, but it’s a necessary one. There are so many transitional grades in school. There's even quite the variation in rules from class to class for older kids with varied schedules. Rules can feel overwhelming for many kids. If there's a way to clear up any confusion or to explain why some rules are important, asking this question benefits everyone in the long run.

12. What was your favorite thing about school?

This question can certainly fall into the one-word answer category, but not all the time. Don’t accept “lunch” as an answer. Ask why. Is it lunch because the pizza is that good, or is it lunch because your child's academic classes are stressful? You'll find out just by asking.

13. How do you feel about going to school tomorrow?

Be prepared for the good or the bad with this question. Remember: This isn't an opportunity to lecture. Put on your listening hat and continue the conversation with more questions about the why .

14. What was different about today?

My 3-year-old went wild with his answer to this question, talking about giants and spiders and other things I'm sure he didn't see at school. My teen was extremely literal and somewhat sarcastic (he named the day of the week). This isn't a quiz. There's no right or wrong answer. We're just showing them we're interested in their life.

Let’s Take a Peek Inside Tom Cruise’s Property Portfolio

At long last, “Top Gun: Maverick” is set to land in theaters at the end of May. A-lister Tom Cruise will step back into the cockpit and reprise his role as test pilot Maverick.

Now 59, the seemingly ageless performer has been box-office gold since the 1980s. His hits include “Cocktail,” “Jerry McGuire,” and “A Few Good Men.” The father of three also starred in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, the latest of which is the upcoming “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.”

With the superstar set to take off on the big screen, we thought we’d take a spin through the actor’s real estate.

Along with starring in blockbusters over the decades, the “Mission: Impossible” star has been busy when it comes to pricey real estate. In many cases, the paparazzi-averse Cruise tends to buy up multiple lots in extremely private locales.

So don your aviators, and let’s head into the “property zone.”

Clearwater condos

The star’s latest “mission”: a move to a giant spread in Clearwater, FL . He dropped $9,580,500 on a 20,826-square-foot, two-level penthouse in 2017. It’s located in the Skyview tower , which was reportedly altered to accommodate Cruise, according to the Tampa Bay Times .

The actor’s lavish living quarters include four bedrooms, a gym, game room, home theater, roof deck with an infinity pool, hot tub, gardens, and a bar, according to the Times.

The penthouse boasts a private garage with a car elevator on the second floor. That level also apparently includes a flight simulator. (Perhaps Cruise could get in some practice for his “Top Gun” role?) There’s also office space and a sports storage area.

Cruise paid an additional $1,475,000 for three more condos in the Clearwater high-rise, perhaps for staff or relatives.

The building, developed by fellow Scientologist Moises Agami , is located just blocks from the Church of Scientology headquarters. Cruise has been a member of the church since 1986.

Terrific in Telluride

More recently, the “Risky Business” actor took care of a piece of business in the Rocky Mountain region. He sold his longtime Telluride, CO, ranch for a whopping $39.5 million.

Cruise had held on to the 320-acre mountain retreat for decades, before trying to quietly sell it for $59 million in 2014. It was relisted in March 2021 for $39.5 million and quickly sold.

Cruise spent years amassing the land, then built a 10,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom home in 1994.

The picturesque home was the setting for a photo shoot with Vanity Fair magazine featuring his daughter Suri  with his then-wife Katie Holmes . Oprah Winfrey also interviewed Cruise at the home in 2008.

The main house includes a chef’s kitchen, fitness center, rec room, den, office suite, two fireplaces, and multiple terraces. There’s also a three-bedroom guest lodge.

Though secluded, the retreat is just minutes to Telluride and a two-hour private jet flight from L.A.

Lavish in Los Angeles

Before decamping to the Sunshine State, the busy actor let go of his holdings in La-La land.

In 2016, Cruise sold the Beverly Hills compound he had shared with  Holmes . The 1.2-acre spread changed hands for a startling $38 million. He had paid $30.5 million in 2007.

The compound included a 10,000-square-foot mansion with seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a pair of guesthouses.

That sale came almost a year after he sold his Hollywood Hills compound to  Eva Longoria for $11.4 million.

Initially listed for $13 million, that property featured two adjoining houses built in 2005 on an ultraprivate 2.75-acre lot. The compound consists of a three-bedroom French villa, a four-bedroom guesthouse, two standalone studios, and a quaint stone cottage.

Beverly Hills rental home with Holmes

Cruise and Holmes leased a mansion in the 90210 for $55,000 a month from 2001 through 2008.

Last offered for lease for $100,000 a month in 2016, the three-acre estate includes a nine-bedroom main house, a guesthouse, a pool with a spa, and a tennis court.

Crash pad in New York City

Cruise sold his longtime East Village loft in the American Felt Building for $3 million in 2013. He had picked up the pied-à-terre in 1984, following his starring role in “Risky Business.”

The two-bedroom, 2,200-square-foot unit is said to contain a state-of-the-art gym. It’s located on the 10th floor of the 12-floor building.

Cruise reportedly shared the condo with all three of his ex-wives, including Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman . The building housed other notable residents, including author Bret Easton Ellis and the Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti , the Real Deal reported at the time of the sale. Cruise’s loft was sold in an off-market deal.

Nicole Kidman revealed in past interviews that she is very private when it comes to her children . These days, Connor moved away from his mom in the Florida area. Despite the move, Kidman revealed that she does her best to support her child anyway she can - despite their different views, like religion, siding with their dad.

“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,” she told Who. “I think that’s so important because if that is taken away from a child, to sever that in any child, in any relationship, in any family — I believe it’s wrong. So that’s our job as a parent, to always offer unconditional love.”

Connor, who is very quiet about his personal life, briefly commented on the matter years ago, claiming despite reports saying otherwise, he is still very close to mom. "I don’t care what people say, I know that me and Mum are solid.”

He continued: “I love her a lot. My family means everything. Yeah, I love my music, but the family comes before everything else.”

As for his relationship alongside Tom, the two appear to be a little tighter nowadays.

Anything involving Connor out in public usually makes the headlines, given what a rare occurrence it is. When Tom gets factored into it, it'll make the headlines.

That was the case back in 2021, when Connor and Tom were spotted together watching the Giants against the Dodgers. During the appearance, the two looked to have a good time alongside one another and wisely, Tom did not reveal who he was rooting for, just happy to be a fan of baseball.

It is believed that religion is a big reason for why the two are still so close nowadays, especially given that Connor moved to Florida, the hub of their religious movement.

Nowadays, Connor continues to live a quiet life out in Clearwater, Florida. Fans can keep track of Tom's son through platforms like Instagram .

Given his recent posts, Connor is very much into fishing these days along with his BBQ. In addition, he was recently in attendance in the first row of the Tampa Bay Lightning's Stanley Cup final game - those tickets likely weren't easy to come by but when Tom Cruise is your dad, things can get a lot easier.

Connor was also spotted in London alongside his dad in 2019 promoting the Mission Impossible film at the time. According to People , this was a very big deal.

“Tom and Connor stepping out together in London was a big deal,” the source says. “It was the same weekend that Scientology does their annual gathering called the ASI. Tom has attended numerous times in the past, but this appears to be the first time Connor has gone.”

Judging by his socials, Connor seems to have quite the entourage and is living a great life these days, away from the spotlight cast by his mom and dad.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

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.

Tom Cruise Breaks Down About His Son On Set As Katie Holmes Worries About Scientology’s Influence On Suri

• Despite rumors of no relationship with Suri, Tom Cruise got emotional discussing his son for an emotional movie scene.
• Director Ed Zwick used Cruise's paternal energy to enhance a scene in The Last Samurai, showing Cruise's authenticity.
• Katie Holmes may worry about Scientology's influence on Suri, despite Tom Cruise wanting to reconcile.

Tom Cruise may have no relationship with his youngest daughter Suri (at least, that’s what reports have claimed for years), but he’s apparently very emotional when thinking about his kids.

In a revealing excerpt from his latest memoir titled Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions: My Fortysomething Years in Hollywood, director Ed Zwick delves into a pivotal moment while filming The Last Samurai involving Tom Cruise and his son, Connor. Zwick recounted a candid conversation with Cruise regarding his relationship with Connor, aiming to evoke genuine emotion from the actor for an important scene.

Thinking of his son helped cruise film an emotional scene.

Zwick vividly described a day on set when he observed Cruise's friendly demeanor towards a young actor, which sparked inspiration. Recognizing Cruise's paternal energy, Zwick decided to leverage it for an upcoming scene in the film, highlighting the director's keen eye for tapping into authentic emotions to enhance cinematic performances. After that, the director says Cruise nailed the emotional scene.

"'Tell me about your son,' I said. He looked at me, surprised," Zwick recalled. "I knew Connor had just returned to L.A. and Tom wouldn’t be seeing him for a while."

"For a moment Tom was quiet. And then he began to talk," the director went on. "It doesn’t matter what he said in those few short moments in the fading light. I watched as he looked inward, and a window seemed to open and his eyes softened."

Heres How Katie Holmes Is Adding To Her $25 Million Net Worth

Tom shares his oldest children with his ex-wife Nicole Kidman. The couple were married for 11 years, tying the knot in December 1990. During their marriage, they adopted two children: Isabella Jane in 1992 and Connor Antony in 1995.

The couple's divorce was finalized in 2001 amid widespread media speculation about their reasons for separating, which included differences in career priorities and personal beliefs. Kidman confirmed that their children lived with Cruise full-time after the divorce, a decision the kids requested.

Tom later went on to remarry to actress Katie Holmes. They were married for approximately six years, having exchanged vows in November 2006. Their daughter, Suri, was born in April 2006, a few months before their wedding.

Katie May Still Worry About Scientology’s Influence On Suri

Following their highly publicized divorce in 2012, questions arose about Tom Cruise's relationship with Suri. While the specifics of their relationship remain largely private, reports suggest that Cruise maintains sporadic contact with his daughter . While it’s been documented that he pays child support, some reports claim he hasn’t seen her in years.

There have been rumors that Katie’s disenchantment with Scientology, of which Cruise is a highly publicized member of, spurred their divorce as well as Katie’s decision to keep Tom largely out of their daughter’s life post-split, though he didn’t fight her request for primary custody.

As sources tell Daily Mail, Katie has reportedly done her best to shield Suri from Scientology during her childhood, even enrolling her in Catholic school. But with the teen set to attend college later this year and reports that Tom wants to reconcile with Suri , Katie may still harbor concerns that the controversial religion may have influence over her daughter.

12 Things You Might Not Know About Tom Cruise

By jake rossen | may 28, 2024.

Defining movie star is somewhat subjective. If it’s a combination of charisma, audience interest, and box office success, then one of the few performers that continue to meet the definition is Tom Cruise. The actor, who has been on screens for over 40 years, regularly makes movies that are considered appointment viewing in theaters even in the era of streaming. His Mission: Impossible series alone has brought in over $1.3 billion domestically.

Part of Cruise’s appeal is his enigmatic public persona. He rarely lets his guard down, preferring to let his work speak for him. Nonetheless, there’s still plenty to know about his life and career.

Tom Cruise started doing stunts early on.

He was a pretty good high school wrestler., cruise auditioned for risky business with a chipped tooth., he didn’t love cocktail ., cruise directed an episode of television., cruise took heat for two adaptations., cruise could have been in the shawshank redemption ., cruise was involved in one of the longest film shoots of all time., he has a cousin who is also an actor., cruise rescued multiple people from maritime disaster., he asked to be included in a photo with some famous directors., cruise gifts colleagues with hundreds of holiday cakes..

Born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, New York, Cruise seemed to be drawn to physical activity and danger from an early age. In 2022, the actor recalled that when he was around 4 years old, he thought it would be a good idea to jump off the roof of his childhood home while using a sheet as a parachute. "It’s that moment when you jump off the roof and you go, ‘This is not gonna work,’” he said. “’This is terrible. I’m gonna die.’ And I hit the ground so hard. Luckily, it was wet … And I saw stars in the daytime for the first time, and I remember looking up, going, ‘This is very interesting.’”

Cruise’s mother, Mary, separated from his father, Tom Senior, in 1976, when Cruise was 14. (The actor would later allege that Senior had been abusive toward him.) The family moved to Louisville, Kentucky, and Cruise also spent some time in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he briefly considered becoming a Franciscan priest. Eventually, he rejoined his family and they settled in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, where he joined the varsity high school wrestling team as a junior and senior. During the 1979-1980 year, the team went 14-4-1.

The wrestling may have indirectly played a role in his career choice. After a leg injury prevented him from continuing, he decided to investigate acting and signed up for a role in a school production of Guys and Dolls . “All of a sudden, I felt like I knew what I was doing,” he said in 1983. “And I got all this attention, and it just felt right. So I came to New York. I wanted to try [acting].”

In 1981, Cruise appeared in a small role in Endless Love and as a military cadet in Taps . Two years later, he appeared in the teen sex comedy Losin’ It and the football drama All the Right Moves . Cruise also scored a role as a street punk in The Outsiders . It was during filming of The Outsiders that Cruise auditioned for Risky Business , which cast him as a preppy kid who runs amok when his parents leave town. “I told them, ‘I can't afford to tamper with my Outsiders character because I have to work tonight,’” he said in 1983. “’I can't take a shower, even.’ I was all greasy, had a chipped tooth and a tattoo, and an Okie drawl. And they cast me for this clean-cut boy.”

Risky Business was considered Cruise's true breakout role. It also made Cruise synonymous with Ray-Ban sunglasses, which he later wore to great effect in 1986’s Top Gun .

The mid- to late-1980s was a period where Cruise was able to demonstrate his dramatic chops with prestige directors in films like 1985's Legend (Ridley Scott), 1986’s The Color of Money (Martin Scorsese), 1988’s Rain Man (Barry Levinson), and 1989’s Born on the Fourth of July (Oliver Stone). In the middle of this impressive run came Cocktail (1988), a relatively lightweight drama about a bartender who relocates to Jamaica. It was “not a crowning jewel,” he told Rolling Stone in 1992. The film earned a Golden Raspberry Award, or “Razzie,” for Worst Picture, the same year that Rain Man won the Oscar for Best Picture.

Given his collaborative nature and intense interest in filmmaking, it’s somewhat surprising Cruise has yet to helm a feature film. But he has gotten behind the camera. In 1993, Cruise directed an episode of the Showtime series Fallen Angels , an anthology set largely in 1940s and 1950s Los Angeles. In the episode, titled “The Frightening Frammis,” a con man (Peter Gallagher) has the misfortune to cross paths with a femme fatale named Babe (Isabella Rosellini). The series was produced by Sydney Pollack, who had just directed Cruise in the 1993 film The Firm .

When Cruise was cast as the vampire Lestat in 1994’s Interview With the Vampire , the book’s author, Anne Rice, was a vocal critic, saying she preferred someone like Daniel Day-Lewis for the role. After seeing Cruise in the part, Rice changed her mind, calling him “wonderful.” Cruise had a similar experience in 2012’s Jack Reacher , where fans of the Lee Child book series found him smaller in stature compared to Child’s towering protagonist. The film did well, however, meriting  a 2016 sequel, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back .

The list of movies Cruise has been offered (or at least had discussions about doing) is long, and the list of movies he’s turned down is likely even longer. Among them: Footloose , Edward Scissorhands , and The Shawshank Redemption . Director and writer Frank Darabont, who adapted the Stephen King novella Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption for the screen in 1994, said that producer Rob Reiner offered to acquire the script so he could direct and his A Few Good Men star Cruise could step into the role of Andy Dufresne. Darabont was tempted, but ultimately decided to make the movie himself. He cast Tim Robbins as Dufresne.

Cruise and then-wife Nicole Kidman agreed to star in director Stanley Kubrick’s 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut , which examines the complicated marriage of a young couple tempted by forces outside their union. Kubrick ( 2001: A Space Odyssey ), a notorious perfectionist, shot the film for an astounding 15 months, far beyond the typical four- to six-month shoot of many films. Guinness World Records recognizes it as the longest continuous production in cinema history. (Interrupted shoots are a different story: Richard Linklater’s coming-of-age drama Boyhood shot for 39 days over a window spanning from 2002 to 2013.)

Eyes Wide Shut was met with a tepid reception, though it proved bountiful for Cruise. While on set, he met with director Paul Thomas Anderson, who cast him as a motivational speaker in 1999’s Magnolia . That part earned Cruise an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He had previously been nominated for Born on the Fourth of July and for Jerry Maguire (1996), though he has yet to win.

Cruise wasn’t the only member of his family to get into acting. His fraternal cousin, William Mapother, is also in the business and has shared several of Cruise’s film sets. Mapother was a production assistant before getting parts in Magnolia (1999) and in 2002’s Minority Report , playing a desk clerk who is threatened by Cruise’s distressed protagonist. Mapother might be best known as Ethan Rom, a character of dubious intentions on ABC’s drama Lost .

In 1996, Cruise and then-wife Nicole Kidman were aboard a yacht near Capri, Italy, when they came upon a family floating in a lifeboat whose own yacht had caught on fire. They climbed aboard Cruise’s vessel until the Coast Guard arrived.

A decade prior, it was Cruise himself who needed a hand. While filming Top Gun , he was dragged underwater by parachute lines. According to United Press International, Navy swim school instructors rushed to pull him out.

Shooting The Last Samurai with Cruise in 2003, director Ed Zwick was surprised to see several A-list directors dropping by the set to see Cruise. When the actor learned that David Fincher ( Fight Club ), Cameron Crowe (who directed Cruise in Jerry Maguire ), and others posed for a group photo with Zwick while he was busy, he asked that he be retroactively placed in the image.

To work with Tom Cruise is to risk being sent a cake every holiday for the rest of your life. (Or his.) Each year, the actor orders white chocolate coconut Bundt cakes from Doan’s Bakery in Los Angeles and has them sent to a list of recipients, including former co-stars. According to former talk show host James Corden, Cruise himself has never tried the cake. (Other stories, however, have him tasting it as part of a “cake-off” while Cruise’s then-wife Katie Holmes and Diane Keaton were making a film together in 2008. The cake was reportedly Keaton’s favorite.)

It's hosted Thomas Jefferson and Tom Cruise — step inside the $270,000 a week French chateau known as “Little Versailles”

By ,cnbc • published june 3, 2024 • updated on june 3, 2024 at 6:59 am.

Chateau de Villette is more than a French manor house — it's a walk through history.

Free 24/7 Connecticut news stream: Watch NBC CT wherever you are

Built in the late 17th century with the help of Jules Hardouin-Mansart and Andre Le Notre,  both of whom were instrumental in building the world-renowned Palace of Versailles, the chateau features seven suites in the main house, each extravagantly designed in the era of Louis XV.

The grounds are no less lavish, set atop 75 hectares of woods, with multiple lakes and ornately sculpted gardens.

Once fertile ground for visits from intellectuals like Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine, the chateau's guests of today include celebrities like Tom Cruise and author Dan Brown, whose bestselling book "The Da Vinci Code" was turned into a film that was shot at the location.

A major selling point of the chateau is its history, but many modern wonders were added following a major renovation after the home was purchased by The Heritage Collection in 2011, said Suzanne Isore, who wrote a book on the history of the chateau.

"You might not believe this, but right under my feet is a marvel of hydraulic engineering. It is a 15-ton block of stone which descends to reveal the chateau's swimming pool," she told CNBC.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Inside Tom Cruise’s strained relationship with daughter Suri as she ditches his name

Share this with

As Suri Cruise reached her 18th birthday, rumours have swirled that she is no longer in contact with her famous dad Tom Cruise .

Suri celebrated her big day with her mum, Katie Holmes , spending the afternoon shopping in the New York sunshine.

Tom, 61, was nowhere to be seen and is currently filming for a new project in London with no word on whether he sent any birthday wishes.

Their relationship is said to be so strained that Suri has decided to ditch her last name, going instead by Suri Noelle — her mother’s middle name.

In 2016, a US outlet reported the teenager  has a huge rift with her father and the pair have not been in contact for years.

Tom, who has two more children, hasn’t been pictured with Suri for years but is believed to have been paying child support as per his and Katie’s divorce settlement.

Was Tom Cruise involved in Suri’s childhood?

In April 2006, Katie and Tom revealed to the world they had welcomed a baby girl and five months later they graced the cover of Vanity Fair with Suri in their arms.

They married in a Scientologist church months later and lots of pictures of Tom out and about carrying his newborn cropped up.

‘My whole life I always wanted to be a father,’ he gushed to the publication at the time, having adopted Connor and Isabella with Nicole Kidman previously.

‘I always said to myself that my children would be able to depend on me and I would always be there for them and love them — that I’d never make a promise to my kids that I couldn’t keep.’

Things seemed to be going swimmingly until six years later when the Dawson’s Creek star filed for divorce while Tom was away filming Oblivion.

When was Tom Cruise last seen with Suri?

Around the time of the divorce was the last time Tom was publicly pictured with Suri, taking her to Disney World in 2012.

At the time, a spokesperson for the Top Gun star said: ‘Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children.’

The high profile split was said to be in part due to Katie’s fears around Scientology, after members of the group moved into their home.

Speaking to  the Daily Mail before his death, founder Ron Miscavige said the decision ‘didn’t sit so well with Katie, of course, and it hurt the marriage.’

When the divorce was settled, the Batman Begins star was granted sole custody plus $400,000 (£315,456) per year in child support until Suri turned 18.

It’s reported that Tom has not seen Suri in the 10 years since, with the pair being no contact for the last three years.

A source told Heat magazine: ‘Tom is feeling guilty about missing so much of her life, but insists that he hasn’t completely shut Suri out of his life, and does get updates from time to time.’

Has Katie Holmes said anything about Suri and Tom’s relationship?

Katie has not commented on Tom’s relationship with their daughter but has been incredibly open about how protective she feels over Suri’s privacy.

‘What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her,’ she told Glamour last year.

‘I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She’s an incredible person.’

‘I love her so much,’ the mom-of-one told InStyle in 2020. ‘My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality, to make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident and able.

‘And to know it. She came out very strong — she’s always been a strong personality.’

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Tom’s reps for comment.
