If there is one person who knows what it’s like to have celebrity parents, then it is Connor Cruise. He played Daryl Jenkins, co-starring with Chris Hemsworth, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Josh Peck, Josh Hutcherson, Adrianne Palicki and Isabel Lucas, among others. Since then Connor has been out of the movie industry, though it is not clear if that is by choice. Their love story didn't last long and ended in 2001, after Cruise filed for divorce out of nowhere, and Kidman later revealed that he refused to attend counseling or to consider not divorcing. Although Nicole was only 21 at the time, she knew at once that she wanted to be with the Mission Impossible actor. The young actor is best known for his appearances in movies such as Red Dawn 2012 and Seven Pounds 2008.

She’s also a soul-music loving, coffee-obsessed member of both Team Cat and Team Dog. When your parents are Hollywood superstars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, it can be hard to stay out of the spotlight. But Connor Cruise has managed to maintain his privacy and carve out his own life outside of the limelight.

In addition to working as a DJ, Connor is a keen fisherman, golfs from time to time, and enjoys barbecuing meat. Connor resides in Clearwater, Florida — yes, near Scientology headquarters and one of dad Tom Cruise's many properties. A source told People in 2018, "Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater." Though they lead entirely different lives, Kidman supports the path her son has chosen to follow. "Nicole only wants the best for Connor, but she gives him the freedom to make his own decisions, and that includes his religious beliefs and where he wants to live," a tipster told Hollywood Life. Despite the complex relationship dynamics between Kidman and her children, she has stressed the importance of motherhood — regardless of the circumstances. "My daughter and son, their life is molded by the way I live," she said in a 2007 interview (via People).

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's Son Connor Shares Rare Glimpse Into His Personal Life

While she is willing to share some of it with fans, like her fertility issues, there are other aspects she prefers to keep under wraps, like her relationship with her two oldest children. "I'm very private about all that. I have to protect all those relationships," she said in an interview with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 2018 (via Hello! magazine). "I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it's what my purpose is." Kidman has also made a point of keeping her two youngest children, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, away from the spotlight. Some sources have claimed that Connor and his mom are close to each other. As the sources claim, this relationship is tense because she made minimal efforts to get her son’s custody during her divorce from Tom. However, it is known that Connor and Isabella stayed with Tom because they aligned with his way of life and shared his beliefs.

Bella Cruise moved to London and lives her life mostly out of the spotlight, although she has a public Instagram page and refers to herself as Bella Kidman Cruise. There is much chatter about her bond with her mom, but she set the record straight in a 2012 interview with New Idea magazine (via E! News). "I love mom. She's my mom. She's great. I see her sometimes, and I speak to her," she said. The specifics of their relationship may be vague, but when Kidman speaks about Connor and Bella to the press, there's a lot of love. "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," she said in The Sun in 2019.

The action star is a father of three, but isn't often photographed alongside his children. As for Connor's DJ endeavors, they seemed to have at least temporarily been put on the backburner. Having also acted in high-profile flicks like Will Smith's 2008 "Seven Pounds" and the 2012 reboot of "Red Dawn," Connor truly appears to be a jack of all trades.

Connor, for one, is no stranger to sharing his outdoor adventures in Florida—on fishing trips or the golf course. Connor was also raised in the Church of Scientology with his sister, per Stylecaster. Although he stays away from the limelight these days, he did dabble in acting during his younger years. In 2008, he starred in Seven Pounds as a younger version of Will Smith’s character Ben, with co-stars Rosario Dawson and Woody Harrelson. He then joined the cast of Red Dawn in 2012, playing a minor character alongside industry heavyweights like Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson.

The actor and his 24-year-old son, whom he shares with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, were photographed as they approached a private helicopter. I.e, the fact that his mom did not do much to get custody of him during the divorce and Tom's inability to love him as much as he loves his biological daughter Suri. There was a time when Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were one of Hollywood's hottest couples. "He swept me off my feet. I fell madly, passionately in love," she told The Sun.

The couple is rarely seen out in public together, and Zanchi doesn't appear to be active on social media. Sources are quick to point out, however, that Connor seems very happy with his life. In an interview with The Weekly, the actor spoke about her children and husband, Keith Urban.

Connor is now based in Florida where he runs Connor’s Meatshack, which sells everything from Wagyu to brisket and burgers. It’s unclear whether the business is still in operation today though, since the last pic was posted over a year ago. Connor Cruise has accomplished his mission of enjoying an incredible birthday getaway.

"It didn't take long for her to burst into tears, and Bella soon followed." This was also an opportunity for the actor to meet Parker, and the source said she took "an instant liking" to him. "I've chosen not to speak publicly about Scientology. I have two children who are Scientologists — Connor and Isabella — and I utterly respect their beliefs," she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2013. Nicole Kidman has been reluctant to share too much about her relationship with Bella and Connor Cruise, but she has offered some rather telling details over the years.

"If I wasn't willing to take on that responsibility, I shouldn't have adopted them." To make matters worse, Tom Cruise's second wife, Katie Holmes, had previously gushed about her relationship with his and Kidman's kids. "It's really special to see them [Bella and Connor] holding their little sister," she said.

"At this stage of my life, and with time being so precious, the joy I get from us as a family outweighs any joy in any other area of my life by far," she said. While they may not be as close as Nicole Kidman would hope, Connor Cruise has said things are good between them. "I don't care what people say; I know that me and Mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything. Yeah, I love my music, but the family comes before everything else." Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise are the parents of two adopted children, Connor and Isabella "Bella" Cruise.

"And 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." "He lives in his own home in a Scientology community. His life is deep-sea fishing. He has a lot of friends and seems very well-liked." As for his personal life, Connor reportedly married fellow Scientologist — an Italian woman named Silvia Zanchi — in 2019. Zanchi is thought to be a high-ranking member of the Church of Scientology, and there have been rumors that the marriage was arranged.
