Rare snap of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise’s daughter

Isabella Cruise is all grown up and has shared a rare selfie to Instagram to prove it.

The adopted daughter of actors Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise has largely been out of the spotlight alongside her brother, but on Wednesday the UK-based artist did not shy away from the camera.

Donning a baker boy cap and black top while posing in front of the mirror, she posed for the camera.

“All that glitters is gold. oh wait, it’s just another Instagram filter,” she captioned the post.

The daughter is notorious for maintaining her private life and took and mainly only uses social media to showcase images of her designs, sold on T-shirts, phone cases, and prints via her company BKC, which stands for Bella Kidman Cruise.

Along with her 25-year-old brother Connor Cruise, who was adopted in 1995, Bella was adopted by her parents in 1993.

She reportedly has a tense relationship with Kidman since the star’s highly publicised divorce with Cruise.

Kidman, 53, and Cruise, 58, separated in 2001 after a decade of marriage.

At the time Bella was just eight years old and Connor was six.

The exes initially shared custody of their children, however Connor and Bella, both loyal Scientologists just like their dad, allegedly turned their back on Kidman after the split.

Kidman hinted in a 2007 interview that the relationship was somewhat strained.

“My kids don’t call me mummy, they don’t even call me mum. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it,” she said.

However, Connor, who has worked as a DJ, told Woman’s Day in 2014 that he still had a relationship with his mother even if they aren’t seen together.

“I love my mum,” 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. Yeah, I love my music, but the family comes before everything else.”

Bella also rubbished estrangement rumours in 2016, telling New Idea: “Of course (we talk), they’re my parents”.

She added that anyone who believed the rumours of their estrangement was “full of sh*t.”

Bella married IT consultant Max Parker in a secret ceremony in 2015, which neither Cruise or Kidman attended.

Over the years, the Big Little Lies star has remained largely silent about her strained relationship with her adopted children.

“I’m very private about all that. I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is,” she previously told Who magazine.

Isabella and Connor have three younger half-siblings, Suri Cruise who is 14, Sunday Kidman who is 12 and Faith who is 9.
