Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were the ultimate power couple when they married in 1990 after meeting on the set of the movie *Days of Thunder*. They were the definition of Hollywood royalty. Two years later, they welcomed their adopted daughter, Isabella Jane, followed by their son, Connor Antony, three years after that.
At their marriage, Tom Cruise was undeniably the giant star. It was Tom who made sure they became a couple. He recognized Nicole Kidman’s talent while working together on the 1989 movie *Dead Calm*. He persuaded the producers of *Days of Thunder* to cast Nicole as his love interest in the film.
Their relationship seemed like a match made in heaven, but unfortunately, they couldn’t. Tom Cruise filed for divorce 11 years later, citing irreconcilable differences.
After their wedding, Nicole Kidman wanted to start a family with Tom, and everyone hoped it would happen soon. Sadly, she experienced an ectopic pregnancy in 1990, resulting in the loss of their baby.
After that, they decided to explore other options. They chose to adopt two children, Isabella Jane Cruise (born 1992) and Connor Cruise (born 1995), when they were mere months old.
Now, their children are all grown up. Isabella is 30 years old and has found success in her own right, away from the spotlight. When Isabella was born on December 22, Tom and Nicole were by her side, embracing the joy of parenthood.
Nicole spoke about her overwhelming love for her daughter, saying, “I look into those eyes, and that crazy love happens — it’s crazy love because you’ll do anything when you have a child. It opens up a part of your heart you didn’t even know was there.”
Today, Bella is an artist and hairdresser. She resides in London with her British husband, Max Parker. While she has kept a relatively low profile, she is active on social media, particularly Instagram. Her Instagram page, with over 50,000 followers, showcases her artwork. In 2020, she delighted her fans by sharing a rare selfie.
In the selfie, Bella can be seen wearing a black hat, which covers her dark hair. The accompanying caption reads, “All that glitters is gold.. oh wait, it’s just another Instagram filter.” She also shared another selfie while in the kitchen, placing her hand on her head with the words “the procrastination station.”
Bella, who uses her parents’ second names on her Instagram account, is also a Scientologist, just like her father and brother. In an interview with Who magazine, Bella expressed that her children are now adults capable of making their own decisions.
She shared, “They have made choices to be Scientologists, and as a mother, it’s my job to love them.” Nicole Kidman also stated that she respects her children’s beliefs.
There have been rumors that Nicole’s different faith and opinions were the cause of her separation from Tom in 2001. When Tom and Nicole divorced, Bella and Connor chose to live with their father.
Nicole has since expressed her desire to have them live with her and her husband, Keith Urban. However, she accepts the decisions her children have made.
Contrary to what some might have expected, Bella has decided to forge her path instead of following in her famous father’s footsteps. She has shown a keen interest in fashion, much like her stepmother, Katie Holmes. Pursuing her passion, she even moved to London to study at the Sassoon Academy, a renowned cosmetology school. Today, she works as a talented hairdresser.
In March, Bella surprised her followers with another rare selfie, showcasing her new hairstyle and look. Some fans even noticed similarities between Bella and her famous father, from her “dents in her nose” to her smile lines. What do you think?
Bella and her brother are a refreshing break from the typical Hollywood kids. They have managed to stay down-to-earth despite their famous background. Let’s share this recent picture of Bella with all our friends and family who may not have seen it yet.
