Nicole Kidman is reportedly seeking to reconnect with her two estranged children, Bella and Connor Cruise, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise. Bella, born in 1992, and Connor, born in 1995, were adopted by the former couple during their marriage. After their divorce in 2001, the two children chose to live with their father in Los Angeles, and the two sides have had limited communication since.
Following the death of her mother, Janelle, in September, Kidman is said to be feeling a renewed urgency to repair her relationship with her children, after many years of no contact. A source close to the actress shared details with New Idea Magazine, saying that the 57-year-old is devastated by the fact that her late mother never had the opportunity to reconnect with her adopted grandchildren.
“Losing her mum has made Nicole not want to waste any more time,” the source revealed. “It hurt Janelle that she and her husband Antony were estranged from Isabella and Connor.” The source also expressed that the regret over this estrangement was profound, especially since Janelle and Antony were unable to see their grandchildren in person before her passing.
As reported by Mirror, This deep sense of loss and regret is reportedly fueling Kidman’s desire for a proper reconciliation with her children. The source noted, “It was a deep regret that they were unable to see her in person before she died,” emphasizing the emotional toll this has taken on Kidman and her family.
In addition to her two children with Cruise, Kidman is also a mother to two daughters, 16-year-old Sunday and 13-year-old Faith, whom she shares with her current husband, Keith Urban. It appears the loss of her mother has given Kidman a new perspective on family, motivating her to seek a reconnection that has long been missing from her life.
