Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, both global movie stars, have had their share of triumphs and challenges. Kidman has always emphasized that her greatest joy lies in being a mother, and she often stated that nothing in her career compares to the fulfillment of motherhood.
The two met on the set of Days of Thunder in 1990, and after a passionate romance, they tied the knot a year later.
Nicole, eager to have children, faced a heartbreaking miscarriage before the couple decided to adopt.
Their children, Isabella Jane (born 1992) and Connor Anthony (born 1995), were adopted through the Church of Scientology, with Tom being a devout member.
Despite their differing religious beliefs—Nicole being Catholic and Tom a Scientologist—their marriage seemed to flourish until their divorce in 2001, citing «irreconcilable differences.» Oddly, the children remained with Tom, aligning with his religious beliefs.
After several relationships, Nicole remarried in 2006 to musician Keith Urban, while Tom married actress Katie Holmes, and they had a daughter, Suri.
Nicole, previously told she couldn’t have children, gave birth to two more daughters through alternative methods.
As for Connor and Isabella, their paths diverged from Nicole after the divorce. Isabella, who lives in London, married an ordinary tech consultant in 2015 without involving her famous parents.
She’s an artist and launched her own clothing line.
Connor, who married an Italian woman from the Church of Scientology, lives in Florida and enjoys fishing and golf.
Although they live under the radar, away from excessive publicity, both children appear to be content, living their lives independently of their famous parents.
