Tom Cruise has secured the spot as one of the most successful actors of our time.
They’re my parents."
Like his sister Isabella, Connor was adopted shortly after his birth in 1995.
Over time, Connor developed a strong bond with the “Mission Impossible” actor.
Despite the father-son duo keeping a low profile, their love for each other is well-documented.
“It took me a very long time to heal,” she told DuJour Magazine (viaPeople).
“It was a shock to my system.”
In light of this, Cruise wanted joint custody of Connor and Isabella due to “irreconcilable differences.”
According to an interview with Hello!
I would love for them to live with us, but what can you do?"
“I love her a lot.
My family means everything.
… the family comes before everything else.”
Due to Tom’s religious beliefs, however, supervision was high in the Cruise household.
Although it’s all speculation, there’s a good chance Connor grew up following strict Scientology rules.
“They are adults,” Kidman stated, “They are able to make their own decisions.
This is acting like the first time Connor has gone.”
Within the Scientology community, Connor is beloved.

Tom’s connection with his daughter slowly became damaged as a result of Holmes winning custody of Suri.
From limited visits to long-distance phone calls, Tom began to fade out of Suri’s life.
The last time Tom and Connor were seen with Suri was in 2012.
From acting to fishing, he’s found success in almost anything he’s put his mind to.
We caught a glimpse of this during Connor’s brief music career.
“Tom walked in and went straight over to Connor and hugged him,” an insider told People.
“Tom is behind this and what he wants is as good as law,” the insider stated.
“Tom made the call and Connor followed.”
“Life is a tragicomedy.
you gotta have a sense of humor.”
With Suri attracting unwanted attention, Connor stood by his father’s side when the news broke.

This constant tension resulted in Tom building a deep resentment towards his father for how he was treated.
So much so that when Tom reconnected with his bedridden father 10 years later, he was utterly disappointed.
It was sad."
Given his tumultuous relationship with his father, we could understand why he nurtures his connection with Connor.
Out of his three kids, Connor is the one that Tom is seen with the most.
