Tom Cruise<\/a> and Nicole Kidman<\/a>‘s adopted son Connor was seen for the first time in almost two years as he enjoyed a low-key evening out at the 2026 World Series this week.<\/p>\n

Connor, who was adopted during the Hollywood titans’ 11-year marriage, which ended in 2001, posed with friends during the Tampa Bay Rays vs Milwaukee Brewers game held at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, <\/a>Florida, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Connor captioned the post: ‘You gotta believe!’ as he smiled for the camera.<\/p>\n

While his superstar parents are known for courting the spotlight, Connor lives a quieter life in Florida and rarely updates social media.<\/p>\n

Prior to his game post, his last Instagram update came in January 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to Connor, Cruise and Kidman also adopted Bella, 33, during their marriage.<\/p>\n

Nicole reportedly has a strained relationship with her two older children. The children have not been pictured with their movie star mother since 2007.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Kidman told Who<\/a> that she is protective of her relationship with the kids.<\/p>\n

‘I’m very private about all that. I have to protect all those relationships,’ she said.<\/p>\n

However, the mom-of-four added: ‘I know 150% that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is.’<\/p>\n

Connor is said to be ‘incredibly loyal’ to his father.<\/p>\n

In 2023, as the Mission Impossible star promoted the latest film in the franchise in New York City<\/a>, he was accompanied by Connor, as well as his sister Lee Ann.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Connor\u00a0was said to have chosen to live with Cruise following his divorce from Kidman in 2001.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He and his sister were raised in the controversial Church of\u00a0Scientology<\/a>, in which Kidman had no part after the split.<\/p>\n

Connor appears to be a private person who lives in Clearwater, Florida, in a home within a Scientology community.<\/p>\n

A source previously told PEOPLE<\/a> magazine he lives a ‘simple’ existence, saying:\u00a0‘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.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2016, Connor told PEOPLE he and his parents went fishing frequently when he was growing up.<\/p>\n

He said: ‘I was blessed to travel the world as a young kid and now I’m traveling the world working.’<\/p>\n

Among Connor’s other hobbies are golf, and he appears to enjoy days out on the course with his friends, according to his Instagram profile.<\/p>\n

Although his main interests appear to tie in with his life in a seaside town in Florida as he makes the most of the natural resources around him, he also shares his appreciation for resources from the land.<\/p>\n

In 2021 he started an Instagram profile, Connor’s Meat Shack, in which he shows off tender, slow-cooked joints of meat that he has cooked.<\/p>\n

When Connor married his Italian wife Silvia Zanchi in a Scientology ceremony in 2019, his mother was notably absent from the occasion.<\/p>\n

\"Cruise <\/p>\n

Cruise and Kidman were one\u00a0 of Hollywood’s golden couples before their shock 2001 split<\/p>\n

It was reported at the time that Cruise had prohibited his son from inviting Kidman to the occasion because of her status as a ‘suppressive person.’<\/p>\n

At the time, an insider told Radar: ‘First, Tom would never even consider inviting Nicole to Connor’s wedding because she’s considered a ‘suppressive person’ by the church \u2014 and, second, he doesn’t want her there.’<\/p>\n

However, Connor has previously insisted any suggestion of a rift between himself and his mother is untrue.<\/p>\n

In 2014, he said: ‘I don’t care what people say. I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman‘s adopted son Connor was seen for the first time in almost two years…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":645214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,557,156,2147,4791,111,139,18522,69,46007,7629,1766],"class_list":["post-645213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-florida","tag-instagram","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nicole-kidman","tag-nz","tag-scientology","tag-tom-cruise","tag-tvshowbiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
