Nicole Kidman is a proud mother of four children. The “Big Little Lies” star shares two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, with country singer Keith Urban, whom she separated from in September 2025 after 19 years of marriage. But Kidman’s journey as a mom began much earlier, with her two children from her marriage to Tom Cruise.
Kidman and Cruise adopted their daughter, Isabella “Bella” Jane, and son, Connor Anthony, in the 1990s, while they were still married. Though the couple split in 2001, Kidman has consistently spoken with warmth and pride about her two older children. “They are generous, kind and hardworking,” she told PEOPLE. “And these are traits that I love to see in my children.”
Bella Kidman Cruise’s Artistic Path
Kidman and Cruise adopted Bella shortly after her birth in Miami on December 22, 1992. Kidman later told Vanity Fair that she had long wanted to be a mother.
“From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies,” she said in 2007. “And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that’s when we would adopt [our daughter] Bella.”
Though she grew up primarily in Beverly Hills, Bella has kept her life fairly private. She studied at Delmar Academy of Make-up and Hair in London before moving into fashion. She once worked for Holmes & Yang, the fashion line created by Katie Holmes and Jeanne Yang, before launching her own label, BKC (Bella Kidman Cruise), in 2018. Her line features t-shirts decorated with her original illustrations.
“Bella has been an artist her entire life. Her go-to medium is marker on paper with her inspiration for her artwork drawn largely from friends, fashion, and music,” a statement on her website explains.

Now 32, Bella continues to showcase her artwork on Instagram. She made headlines in December 2023 after being photographed with Cruise, Connor, and NFL star Derrick Brooks at a Tampa Bay Lightning game — their first public outing together in nearly 15 years.
Connor Cruise’s Life in Florida
Kidman and Cruise adopted their son Connor shortly after his birth in Florida on January 17, 1995. While reflecting on her first marriage, Kidman has often credited her time with Cruise for giving her Bella and Connor.
“I got married really fast and really young,” she said in 2012. “But I don’t regret that because it got me Bella and Connor and I did have a fantastic marriage for a long period.”
Connor briefly pursued acting, appearing in “Seven Pounds” in 2008 and “Red Dawn” in 2012, before turning his attention to music.
By 2013, he was DJing at clubs across the U.S. Today, however, his biggest passion is deep-sea fishing. “We used to go fishing a lot when I was a little kid,” he told PEOPLE in 2016. “I was blessed to travel the world as a young kid and now I’m traveling the world working.”
Now 30, Connor lives a quieter life in Clearwater, Florida, where, according to People, he resides in a Scientology community. “Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater,” a source said in 2018. “His life is deep-sea fishing. He has a lot of friends and seems very well-liked.”
Connor also runs a barbecue business called Connor’s Meatshack, sharing recipes and grilling photos on Instagram.
