Connor is one of Tom and Kidman’s two children. In addition to Connor, exes who they were married from 1990 to 2001 also share daughter Bella32. Both children were welcomed through adoption after Kidman suffered a pregnancy loss.

“From the moment Tom and I got married, I wanted to have kids,” Kidman said Vanity Fair in 2007. “And we lost the baby soon, so it was really very traumatic. And that’s when we adopted Bella.”

Even though he comes from a famous family, Connor has stayed out of the limelight and kept his personal life quiet. In December 2023, Tom posed with both children as the trio attended a Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers.

“Good evening Wow, look who stopped by my office tonight before our @tblightning game! @tomcruise,” former NFL player Derrick Brookswho was also at the NHL game, wrote at the time via Instagram. “I was a little star but I played it great and he said I did too! 😂😂.”
