Both Bella and Connor are reported to have an especially close bond with their dad, and have followed in Tom's Scientology footsteps, with a passion for the religion.

Asked about her children's decision to follow the church, Nicole told the Sun in 2019: "Motherhood is about the journey. There are going to be incredible peaks and valleys, whether you are an adopting mother or a birth mother. What a child needs is love.

"They have made choices to be Scientologists. It’s our job as a parent to always offer unconditional love."
