Tom Cruise is one of the biggest actors in Hollywood and he’s been on our screens since 1981, which makes his career now four decades long. A star since the age of 21, Tom, who is now in his 60s, has truly spent his entire adult life in the spotlight. 

Along the way, the actor also had some infamous romances. His first marriage was to actress Mimi Rogers, but it was his second marriage to Nicole Kidman that catapulted his private life into the public eye. The couple was married for 11 years and even adopted two children together, Isabella Jane Cruise, and Connor Anthony Cruise. However, their union wasn’t meant to be and they ended up getting divorced in 2001.

Tom then had a relationship with Spanish actress Penelope Cruz for three years, before he found love again with one of America’s sweethearts, Katie Holmes. Their relationship made headlines when Tom professed his love for her on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” as he jumped up and down on the couch. Together the couple had a daughter named Suri Cruise, who was born in April 2006, but their marriage wouldn’t last either, and Holmes filed for divorce in 2012.

Since then, Tom hasn’t publicly dated any other women. He’s instead used the time to focus on being a father to his three children. Nowadays, Isabella and Connor are adults, while Suri is still a teenager. All of Tom’s kids have kept a quiet life out of the public eye, but Connor finally showed some insight into his hobbies with his first Instagram post of 2023 in April.

Connor was born on Jan. 17, 1995, in Florida, which happens to be where he’s also based these days. He was adopted by his parents not long after his birth and joined their family of three, as they had adopted Isabella a couple of years earlier. Although Connor grew up with incredibly famous parents, they did their best to keep him and Isabella out of the spotlight and give them a relatively normal upbringing.

During the remainder of the ’90s, Tom, Kidman, Isabella and Connor were a happy family, but by 2001 things took a turn when Tom filed for divorce. The couple broke up one year before Kidman was due to film “The Hours,” a movie in which she played writer Virginia Woolf. The role earned her an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. However, she admitted in an interview with BBC Radio 4’s This Cultural Life, as reported by the Daily Mail, that the film’s heavy themes and her own personal turmoil at the time led her to feel depressed. She said about the breakdown of her marriage: “When it didn’t work out I had to really dig deep and find my way through depression. I have no regrets about all of it. It was all part of growing up.” 

In the wake of the divorce, there were rumors that Kidman’s relationship with her children had been severed. The speculation stemmed from the fact that Kidman had left Scientology while Isabella and Connor had stayed in the cult with their father. The “Moulin Rouge!” actress opened up about the rupture with her adopted children in 2018.

Kidman revealed to Australia’s Who magazine in November 2018 that while Connor and Isabella have beliefs that differ from her own, it didn’t mean she felt any less love for them.

“They are adults. 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 said.

She added, “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. … 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.”

Kidman is also a mother to two daughters with her husband, Keith Urban. However, she made clear her priorities as a mom.

“I’m very private about all that. I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is,” she told the publication.

Meanwhile, Connor gave fans a peek into what he’s been getting up to with a snap of him on the green at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. The photo, posted on Apr. 29, 2023, showed him giving the thumbs up beside a friend. The snap marks the first post Connor has shared on his Instagram since August 2022. 

A huge fan of fishing, Connor often showcases his catches on Instagram. His posts depict the incredibly large fishes he’s caught and the big smile on his face each time shows that he is truly happy in his life.
