Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman might live high-profile lives, but the same can't be said of their two children. Bella and Connor Kidman-Cruise both shy away from the spotlight, and, as such, little is known about them. But, just recently, Connor made a rare appearance on Instagram, much to the delight of his friends and followers.

Both Tom and Nicole have long respected Connor and Bella's privacy. When asked about her relationship with her oldest children by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in November 2018, Nicole said, "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."

"They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions," she told Vanity Fair. "They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them."

She continued: "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."
