Tom Cruise<\/a> and Nicole Kidman<\/a>\u2019s son Connor Cruise<\/a> has made a rare appearance for the first time in more than two years.<\/p>\n

Connor, 31, posted a photo from the\u00a0World Series baseball game between his team, the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Milwaukee Brewers.<\/p>\n

Wearing a white T-shirt, Connor smiled in a selfie with friends from the game.<\/p>\n

Connor typically lives a private life in Florida separate from his A-list parents<\/a>, who adopted him during their marriage<\/a> in 1995.<\/p>\n

He rarely posts on social media<\/a>, but when he does, it typically shows him spending his time fishing and golfing.<\/p>\n

He previously posted during a round of golf in January 2025.<\/p>\n

Connor was last publicly seen with his father after he landed his helicopter in London in June 2024, just weeks after they supported another Florida sports team, the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team, at a game.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Connor and his older sister, Isabella<\/a>, have not been seen with their mother since 2006.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Kidman, who is also mother to daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret with ex-husband Keith Urban, explained why she kept their relationship out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to protect all those relationships,\u201d Kidman told Who<\/a> at the time. \u201cI know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it\u2019s what my purpose is.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Kidman and Cruise divorced in 2001 after a decade of marriage<\/a>, Bella, 33, and Connor chose to live with their father in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

They were raised as Scientologists like Cruise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are adults. They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it\u2019s my job to love them,\u201d Kidman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I am an example of that tolerance and that\u2019s what I believe \u2013 that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I\u2019m open here.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Cruise has remained close to his eldest children, he is estranged from his youngest child with Katie Holmes, Suri, 20, who dropped his surname and legally changed her name to Suri Noelle.<\/p>\n
