Tom Cruise may still be estranged from his youngest daughter Suri but his older children are a different story. The two followed Tom to join the Scientologist cult.
Tom Cruise became parents when he was married to Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001. After struggling to conceive, the couple adopted daughter Isabella and son Connor in 1992 and 1995 respectively.
In the midst of their divorce, the Australian actress suffered an ectopic pregnancy. After parting ways with Cruise and moving on with Keith Urban, Kidman welcomed daughters Sunday and Faith through a surrogate.
As for Cruise, he married Katie Holmes in 2005. The couple welcomed daughter Suri in April 2006, seven months before getting married in Italy. However, this marriage did not last long. Holmes filed for divorce from Tom in June 2012.
And Tom’s 3 children had completely different fates.
Isabella Jane Cruise
Kidman and Cruise adopted Isabella shortly after her birth in 1992, and their daughter followed in the Mission: Impossible star’s footsteps, becoming a member of the Scientologis cult. In a March 2019 newsletter for the organization, Isabella thanked her father “for everything”. Although Kidman has kept quiet about her relationship with Isabella, the actress spoke about her adult children in an interview for the Who in November 2018.
They are adults” – Nicole said of Isabella and Connor at the time – “They can make their own decisions”.
“They have chosen to be members of the Scientologis cult and as a mother it is my duty to love them,” she continued. for my children because that’s my goal.”
Connor Anthony Kidman Cruise
Connor was also raised in the Church of Scientologis after being adopted in 1995. Cruise and Kidman’s adult son is active on social media and has documented his fishing trips.
Over the years, Connor and his father have been photographed on rare outings. The two were seen watching basketball games together during Connor’s younger years, and they were recently spotted boarding a helicopter and hanging out on the set of Jack Reacher.
Suri Cruise
Katie Holmes was born Suri in 2006 and has always maintained a close relationship with her daughter. She told Town & Country in 2017 that she provided her daughter with a “stable and pure” childhood.
However, according to an exclusive source who told Page Six, Tom Cruise is still “not involved” in the life of his youngest daughter. In the 2012 Bauer Media defamation lawsuit, star Jerry Maguire said he hadn’t seen Suri for three months after he and Holmes broke up.
“Listen, divorce…everything changes,” said Tom Cruise. “It’s not an ideal situation.”
Former Scientologist member Leah Remini has asserted that Cruise was “unable to connect” with Suri because Katie Holmes was seen as the “oppressor” or “enemy” of the Scientologist.
