Tom Cruise and son Connor made a rare appearance together in New York City Saturday.

The “War of the Worlds” star and his 28-year-old son, whom he shares with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, stepped out in the big apple for a promotional event for Tom’s upcoming film “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning.”

Tom wore a black button-up with blue jeans and black shoes. He completed the simple look with reflective aviator sunglasses and a silver wristwatch.

The “Top Gun: Maverick” star’s son also dressed casually for the event, wearing a gray collared shirt with blue jeans and sneakers.

The actor’s sister Lee Mapother also tagged along with the father-son duo.

Tom and Connor have made a handful of public appearances together in the past, including a 2021 Los Angeles Dodgers game in San Francisco, Calif.

Tom, 61, also shares daughter Isabella with Kidman, 56, whom he was married to from 1990 to 2001. They adopted Isabella and Connor in 1992 and 1995, respectively.

As for Tom’s son, the “Seven Pounds” star seems to lead a low-key life outside of the spotlight.

Connor appears to enjoy fishing and playing golf in Florida. He also avoids posting photos of his A-list parents on his social media.

Isabella, who goes by Bella, also stays relatively under the radar . She moved from Los Angeles to live with her husband, Max Parker, in London.

After Tom and Kidman divorced, the two kids chose to stay with their dad in Los Angeles while the “Big Little Lies” star resided in Australia.

In 2018, Kidman made a rare statement about her relationship with her children.

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

Nicole Kidman

She also remarked on her children’s decision to pursue Scientology like their father. The actress left the church in the ’90s.

“They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them,” she said, adding that Connor and Isabella are “adults.”

“And I am an example of that tolerance and that’s what I believe – that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I’m open here.”

She added that she believes her “job as a parent” is to “always offer unconditional love.”

Meanwhile, Tom also shares daughter Suri, 17, with ex-wife Katie Holmes.

Holmes, 44, and the “Jerry Maguire” star tied the knot in 2006 before splitting up in 2012.

Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes

In March, sources told Page Six that Tom and Suri have been estranged for some time.

The insider said Tom had not seen his youngest daughter in a very long time and that he was not a part of her life .

After their high-profile split in 2011, Tom admitted in transcripts from his 2012 defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media that he had not seen Suri for three months after he and Holmes called it quits.

Was Connor Cruise adopted? 

Yes, Connor was adopted by the Eyes Wide Shut co-stars shortly after his birth in 1995.

Three years before adopting him, the former couple extended their family by adopting a girl named Isabella, who is now 28.

Both siblings stayed out of the spotlight and rarely posted any photos of themselves together with either parent.

It was reported that neither sibling would address their adoptive mother Nicole Kidman as their mom.

Connor and Isabella are the adoptive children from Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's marriage.

What Is Tom Cruise's Son Connor Up To Today?

Connor and Tom Cruise at game

When your parents are Hollywood superstars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman , it can be hard to stay out of the spotlight. But Connor Cruise has managed to maintain his privacy and carve out his own life outside of the limelight.

Connor was adopted by Cruise and Kidman when he was 1 month old and was reportedly homeschooled (via Hollywood Life ). After his parents split, Connor and his older sister, Bella, decided to stay with their dad and remain members of the Church of Scientology. Despite the fact that she rarely speaks about her two oldest children, Kidman has made it clear that they are still very much a priority for her. "They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions," she said (via Hello! ). "They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them."

When he was younger, Connor gave acting a try and landed supporting roles in 2008's "Seven Pounds," starring Will Smith, and 2012's "Red Dawn" remake, where he costarred alongside Chris Hemsworth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (via IMDb ). Connor then transitioned into working as a professional DJ under the name "DJ C-Squared" (via The Things ) and even released his own track on Spinnin Records (via Your EDM ). However, it appears that he gave up that career sometime in late 2016 (via Daily Mail ).

Connor Cruise is happily married to a fellow Scientologist

Although he has two famous parents, Connor Cruise has managed to live a relatively private life. After dabbling in acting and DJ'ing, Connor now spends most of his time as a deep-sea fisherman. The 26-year-old lives in Clearwater, Florida, and has even competed in fishing tournaments. In 2018, his team came in 3rd for the Rotary Club of Clearwater's Kingfish Tournament (via Distractify ). In addition, Connor has an Instagram account dedicated to his love of grilling called "Connor's Meatshack." 

As for his personal life, Connor reportedly married fellow Scientologist — an Italian woman named Silvia Zanchi — in 2019. Zanchi is thought to be a high-ranking member of the Church of Scientology, and there have been rumors that the marriage was arranged. The couple is rarely seen out in public together, and Zanchi doesn't appear to be active on social media. Sources are quick to point out, however, that Connor seems very happy with his life.

"Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater," a source told People . "He lives in his own home in a Scientology community. His life is deep-sea fishing. He has a lot of friends and seems very well-liked."

Tom Cruise and son Connor, 26, attend baseball game in rare public appearance

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise took his son out to the ballgame.

The Hollywood star and son Connor, 26, went to the San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers playoff game at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Saturday night.

The Cruises may have been a good luck charm for the visiting team, too, as the Dodgers won 9-2 to even their National League Division Series at one game apiece. The Giants then won Monday in Game 3, giving San Francisco a one-game lead.

Tom Cruise

Cruise shares Connor with ex-wife Nicole Kidman. They also have daughter Isabella, 28. Cruise has daughter Suri, 15, with ex-wife Katie Holmes.

People generally don’t see Connor too often — he last posted a picture on Instagram in April when he was out deep-sea fishing.

Tom and Connor were also spotted together in London in 2019, where movie star dad was showing his son “some aviation basics,” according to People .

Fans have also not seen much of his dad recently, either. His long-awaited “Top Gun: Maverick” has been pushed back from its original release date of June 2020 until May 2022.

While moviegoers will have to wait to see him in the film, co-star Jon Hamm said it will be a real treat.

“I loved it,” he said on TODAY in September 2020. “It’s everything you hope it’s going to be. It’s everything I hoped it is going to be, and Tom obviously is perfect in it and amazing.”

Drew Weisholtz is a reporter for TODAY Digital, focusing on pop culture, nostalgia and trending stories. He has seen every episode of “Saved by the Bell” at least 50 times, longs to perfect the crane kick from “The Karate Kid” and performs stand-up comedy, while also cheering on the New York Yankees and New York Giants. A graduate of Rutgers University, he is the married father of two kids who believe he is ridiculous.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s son makes rare public appearance at Mission Impossible premiere

Connor Cruise, the 28-year-old adopted son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman has been photographed with his father for the first time in years.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s son Connor Cruise has supported his father’s new Mission Impossible movie during a rare public appearance in New York.

The only son of the two legendary movie stars dressed casually for the event and was snapped wearing a grey collared shirt with blue jeans and sneakers.

Tom’s beloved sister Lee Mapother also tagged along with the father-son duo.

The 28-year-old was adopted in 1995 by Tom and then-wife Nicole but lives a private life away from the spotlight and is seldom seen publicly with either of his parents.

Connor and his sister Isabella are believed to be somewhat estranged from their famous mother ever since Tom divorced Nicole in 2001.

In 2018, Kidman made a rare statement about her relationship with her 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 told Who magazine.

Tom and his two eldest children are all devout Scientologists, while Nicole is a Roman Catholic and has publicly distanced herself from the church.

“They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them,” she said, adding that Connor and Isabella are “adults.”

Nicole also shares two biological daughters with her second husband Keith Urban and predominantly lives between Nashville and Sydney, while Connor and Isabella are believed to live in Florida and London respectively.

Kidman has not been photographed with her two elder children in more than 15 years and typically declines to discuss them in interviews out of respect of their religious beliefs.

She was also not present at either Connor or Isabella’s weddings in 2015 and 2019.

More recently, Connor’s sister Isabella has publicly used the name “Bella Kidman Cruise” and occasionally comments on her mother’s Instagram posts.

Connor and Isabella also have a half-sister, Suri, from Tom’s marriage to Katie Holmes.

Unlike her elder siblings, Suri is not believed to be in contact with her father Tom after Katie was granted sole custody.

The group kept it causal with Tom wearing dark-wash jeans, a black button-down shirt, and his signature Ray-Ban sunglasses. (See the photos HERE .) Connor opted for dark gray pants, a light gray polo shirt, and fresh white tennis sneakers. He was walking side by side with DeVette, who stayed on-trend with a Barbiecore pink sweater over her white shirt and jeans.

Fans, who keep up with Connor’s life on Instagram, know that he works as a DJ, and l oves deep-sea fishing , golf, and barbecue. He doesn’t post often, but his followers are always actively engaged with his snapshots. What might surprise some people is that Tom’s only son is married to a fellow Scientologist, Silvia Zanchi. They wed in 2019, but there is not much else known about her or their low-key marriage. When Connor does emerge into the spotlight, it’s with his dad.

Connor is obviously supporting Tom for his latest blockbuster film by joining him on the promotional tour — and it gives a small glimpse into how bonded the father and son are . Connor, and his older sister, Isabella, 30, remained with Tom after his divorce from Kidman in 2001. The Undoing star keeps her relationship with her children very private — it’s unknown how close she is to Connor, but it is assumed she has contact with Isabella, who uses Kidman as her middle name. It’s just one of the mysteries that surround the former couple and their children because of the Scientology element, but it’s pretty easy to see that Tom and Connor are closely aligned.

Tom Cruise made a rare appearance with his son, Connor , 26, over the weekend. The Mission Impossible  actor was spotted at a baseball game in San Francisco on Saturday. Cruise and his son were at Oracle Park for game two of the National League Division Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers when fans noticed the actor in the stands. Fellow actor Danny Glover was also in attendance for the big game.

"All the celebs come out for #NLDS games!! Wonderful to host THE @TomCruise at the @SFGiants v @Dodgers game tonight. Asked him which team he’s rooting for and he gracefully replied, 'I’m a fan of baseball,'" Amy Gutierrez, a reporter for the Giants shared alongside a selfie with Cruise.

Cruise was also captured on the video board, as the Top Gun  track "Danger Zone" played in the background.

While it was more of a family affair, the actor chatted it up with a few fans who stopped by his seat during the evening and posed for a couple of selfies.

Connor, Cruise and ex-wife  Nicole Kidman 's son, rarely makes appearances with his famous parents. In April, Connor shared a glimpse into his personal life during a European fishing trip. It was a first in a series of posts from the Florida native after a bit of a social media hiatus in October 2020.

Connor, an avid fisherman judging by his Instagram account, showed off his big catch to the camera alongside friend and boat captain Jack Vasilaros.

"One bite everybody knows the rules @barstooloutdoors @barstoolsports @hook360 shoutout to everyone who doesn’t want to fish against @hookedforlife in the gulf. Respect to him, best I’ve ever seen. @fountainofyouthfishing #72.05," he wrote.

Cruise and Kidman adopted both Connor and his older sister, 28-year-old Bella, when they were still married. Back in 2018, Kidman shared why she's so private when it comes to her children with Cruise and  how she feels about them choosing to be Scientologists  like their father.

"I have to protect all those relationships," she told Australia's  Who  magazine. "I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is."

"They are adults," she added. "They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and, as a mother, it’s my job to love them. And I am an example of that tolerance and that’s what I believe -- that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I’m open here."

Details About Tom Cruise's Relationship With His Son Connor

Connor Cruise Tom Cruise

When Tom Cruise was married to Nicole Kidman , the couple adopted a son, Connor Cruise , and a daughter, Isabella Cruise. After the couple split, Cruise married Katie Holmes, and they had a daughter together, Suri Cruise. It has been reported that the "Top Gun" star has distanced himself from Suri as she is not a member of Scientology. The Hollywood A-lister has, however, maintained a relationship with his two other children, and is rather close with his son.

In 2016, the Daily Mail offered a glimpse into Connor's life in Clearwater, Florida, where he drove a GT Mustang and spent time deep sea fishing on his $500,000 boat paid for by his father. He also spent ample time at the Scientology headquarters located in Clearwater where he was given star treatment. "The security treat him like a god, they look starstruck whenever he arrives and practically queue up to high-five him and say hello," a source told the Daily Mail at the time. Similar to his dad, Connor was heavily involved in their religion and lived in a Scientology community. "High-level church officials think it's imperative Connor carries the torch," the insider added.

Formerly, Connor was a DJ, but he had pivoted to focusing on deep-sea fishing. He runs a business, Connor's Meat Shack , which provides, "Wagyu, brisket, burgers, chicken, and ribs on chars, flats and smokers," according to the company's Instagram page. Over the years, Connor has bonded with his dad over shared passions. 

Why Tom Cruise and Connor Cruise bonded so closely

Tom Cruise's devout faith is well-known, and it is something that his son Connor Cruise has adopted as well. "Connor has been able to remain close with Tom because of Scientology," a source told People in 2019. The "Mission: Impossible — Fallout" actor was photographed with Connor in 2019 as the two boarded a private helicopter. Not only was it a rare public appearance for the father-son duo, but the pair was headed to the International Association of Scientologists together. "Tom and Connor stepping out together in London was a big deal," the insider added.

While the two do not make many public appearances together, they are supportive of one another behind the scenes. When the 2023 Academy Award nominations were announced, Connor showed support for his pops with a post on his Instagram Stories, listing the six nominations "Top Gun: Maverick" had nabbed, along with a row of trophy emojis, per Hello!

Even though Connor is the son of one of Hollywood's biggest stars, he leads "a pretty simple life in Clearwater," and spends a lot of time deep-sea fishing, a source told People in 2018. Connor's passion for fishing comes from time with his dad. "We used to go fishing a lot when I was a little kid," he told People in 2016. Another hobby of his as a kid was music. "I started DJing in my bedroom when I was about 13," Connor added. Tom was a supporter of his son's musical career.

How Tom Cruise shows support for Connor Cruise

When Connor Cruise was still pursuing a career as a DJ, he played a show in London and Tom Cruise showed up to give his support. "Tom walked in and went straight over to Connor and hugged him," a bystander told People in 2012 while mentioning that the "Edge of Tomorrow" actor stayed for the set to watch his son play. That same year, Connor returned the favor and supported his dad at work. He visited the set of "Oblivion" in 2012, which was an important time to be supportive as Tom Cruise had just finalized his divorce from Katie Holmes. There were claims that Tom's devotion to his faith had caused the split. "Let me be very clear about this. The Church of Scientology played absolutely NO ROLE in the divorce settlement talks at all. Period," the actor's lawyer, Bert Fields, told E! at the time. Four years later, while Tom was working on "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back," Connor once again dropped by to visit his dad. The pair exchanged a "loving hug" before parting ways, per People.

While Connor has grown closer with his father thanks to their shared involvement in Scientology, his faith has been rumored to cause a rift between himself and his mother, Nicole Kidman. When Connor tied the knot with a fellow Scientologist in 2019, Kidman was reportedly not invited to the ceremony, per Tom Cruise's wishes. "Connor worships the ground his father walks on and would never disobey Tom," an insider told Radar at the time.

Never too old for a ball game with dad! Tom Cruise’s son Connor joined the Mission Impossible star for a rare family outing together in California, where the pair watched the Los Angeles Dodgers face off against the San Francisco Giants.

At one point during the game, which took place on Saturday, October 9, Cruise was spotted on the Jumbotron—and he wasn’t alone! The 59-year-old  Top Gun  actor was seated next to his son, 26-year-old Connor Cruise . While the elder Cruise flashed a smile for the cameras, his son could be seen chatting with other fans sitting next to him, according to Us Weekly . You can see Tom Cruise ‘s son Connor sitting next to him on his left in the photo below.

The Edge of Tomorrow share shares his son Connor with his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman . The former couple, who got married in December 1990 and divorced in 2001, also adopted a daughter, Isabella. While the pair rarely speak about their 11-year marriage, Kidman recently opened up about the media attention she experienced during their relationship in an interview for  Harper’s Bazaar   for their October 2021 cover story.

“I was young. I think I offered it up?” Kidman   said when asked about the media frenzy she and Cruise faced. “Maybe I’ve gotten a bit more trepidatious, but I’m always trying to be as open as possible. I just prefer to live in the world that way.”

The  Big Little Lies   star went on to explain why she prefers to be honest in the public eye: “I’m wary at times, and I’ve been hurt, but at the same time I much prefer a warm approach rather than a prickly shutdown approach. My husband, Keith [Urban], says that when he met me, he said, ‘How’s your heart?’ And I apparently responded, ‘Open,'” she said, referring to her new spouse, whom she married in 2006.

Ever since she split from Cruise, Kidman has also kept her relationship with her children private. Some have speculated over the years that the Nine Perfect Strangers  star is estranged from her children with Cruise due to their involvement in the Church of Scientology with their father, however, Kidman has since denied these rumors.  “They have made choices to be Scientologists. It’s our job as a parent to always offer unconditional love,” she told  The Sun  in 2019. These days, it looks like both Cruise and Kidman are offering that love up to their kids.

Everything We Know About Tom Cruise's Son, Connor

Connor made his debut in the world of Hollywood by playing a small role in a Will Smith movie, Seven Pounds.

Tom Cruise needs no introduction. He took the world of Hollywood by storm right from the very start. His incredible acting skills and drop-dead gorgeous looks ensured that all eyes were on him. The superstar, who is known for doing his own stunts , pinned his hopes on his adopted son, Connor, believing that Connor might follow in his acting footsteps. Tom's dreams were dashed when Connor ditched a budding acting career. Instead, he decided to become a DJ.

However, this has not gone down too well with Tom Cruise , who earlier supported his son’s decision, but then changed his mind. Connor earned the ire of his father on several occasions for doing his own thing and being rebellious. All is not well between Tom and Connor. Here is a look at everything we know about Tom Cruise’s son, Connor:

15 About Connor Cruise

Connor was born in January of 1995 in Florida, USA. He is African-American and he is the adopted son of Tom and Hollywood beauty, Nicole Kidman. Nicole used to be married to superstar, Tom Cruise. Connor lived with his father following Nicole and Tom's split. Nicole doesn't seem to have much contact with her adopted kids these days.

14 Acting Debut

Connor made his debut in the world of Hollywood by playing a small role in a Will Smith movie,  Seven Pounds . Soon after, he bagged a role in a remake of a blockbuster, Red Dawn . Like all fathers, Tom seemed to be proud of his son and spread the word that a new superstar had arrived.

13 An Alternate Career

When Connor first took to DJing, Tom Cruise lent all the support he could to his son. He encouraged him with the hopes that DJing would help his son to feel popular and cool. Some DJs become really popular and make plenty of money, too. There's always the chance of big success.

12 Dashed Hopes

Tom Cruise supported his son, Connor, financially. Not only did he buy expensive DJ equipment for him, but he also helped him land his first paid gig. Things soon became topsy-turvy as Tom Cruise realized that DJ C-Squared, a name Connor chose as his DJ name, took DJing so seriously that he wanted to give up acting.

11 A Strained Relationship

A source close to Connor and Tom Cruise revealed that all was not well between Connor and his father due to Connor's unconventional career path. What’s more, Connor reportedly had issues because Tom was allegedly controlling. This doesn't mean that Tom and Connor don't love each other.

10 A Rebel?

Soon, reports started to surface that Connor did not want to live with his father Tom Cruise any longer - he wanted to live on his own and not be dominated by anyone. He even asked mom, Nicole Kidman, and her husband, Keith Urban, to let him live with them.

9 No Escape

Nicole Kidman reportedly did not support the idea of Connor moving in with her in Nashville, as it would be too disruptive to her marriage and to her children with Keith Urban. However, she did allegedly tell him that avoiding his father would only make him an escapist.

8 Being Dominated

Meanwhile, more reports suggested that Connor was beginning to feel a bit constrained by Tom's strong personality and tendency to set all the rules. There was talk that the adopted son was not allowed to trace his biological parents because Tom allegedly didn't approve of that. He said that doing such things might be detrimental to his future success.

7 Things Go Awry

According to Evening Standard , Connor chose not to invite Nicole Kidman to his wedding, since his father, Tom Cruise, forbade him from doing so. The media have severely criticized this decision. Fan's of Nicole's aren't too happy about it, either.

6 The Sudden Rare Appearance

More recently, a photograph of Tom Cruise and Connor looking all cool and casual in London went viral. Huffpost reported that Tom took Connor along with him to show him the aviation skills that he had acquired while filming the  Mission Impossibl e films. Tom had recently learned how to fly a chopper, for the latest film in the M I franchise.

5 Nicole Comments

Nicole Kidman, when asked about her son, Connor, and daughter, Bella, replied that when it came to her relationship with her children, she liked to keep it private and also protect it. She said that she loved them unconditionally and appreciated and supported whatever choices they had made in life.

4 Other Passions

Other than DJing, Connor is also extremely fond of deep-sea diving. He has made it into a profession by studying it in his hometown of Clearwater, Florida. He put up a picture on his social media account that reflected his passion for angling.

3 An Obedient Son

While Connor was earlier believed to be a rebel, it is widely suggested he does do what his father wants most of the time and rarely questions Tom's decisions. Some think he follows Tom blindly sometimes. This conclusion was reached by some fans and members of the media after he took the bold step of not inviting Nicole Kidman to his wedding.

2 The Controversy

In 2018, when Nicole Kidman won a prestigious award, she thanked her husband, Keith Urban, and her bio children during her speech. However, many noticed that she had refrained from making mention of or praising her adopted children. This raised eyebrows and stirred up a hornet’s nest, suggesting that things were not so good between her and her adopted children.

1 All’s Well

When asked about his relationship with his mother, Nicole Kidman, Connor replied confidently that all was well between them. He said that the relationship between them was pretty “solid”, putting all speculation about them to rest for a while. He added that he loves his mom and does not care what people say about her. He added that, while he likes music a lot, his family takes precedence over everything and the family certainly includes Nicole.

Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman’s Son Connor, 28, Posts Rare Selfie: See Photo

Fore! Connor Cruise, the 28-year-old son of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, took a moment during his golf game to snap a rare selfie.

tom cruise connor son

Tom Cruise has been a pilot, a secret agent, a bartender, and a vampire. One thing he hasn’t been in a movie, it seems, is a golf pro – so his son, Connor Cruise , picked up that slack on Apr. 29. Connor, 28, snapped a shot of him at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, giving the thumbs up while standing on the course. The adopted child of Tom, 60, and Nicole Kidman looked good in his dark blue striped polo and shorts.

Before that, Connor hadn’t posted anything on his IG since August 2022. Connor participated in a fishing trip as part of the “Providing Meals On Reels” campaign to feed the hungry. “Got it done yesterday with the boys. 301# Warsaw on the hand crank @gomx_fish @freemanboatworks @nick_chicouris_ @thereelborn2catch @fountainofyouthfishing #TopFish,” Connor captioned a video of him standing next to a giant grouper. The fish looked as tall as a man, and a follow-up post said that he donated “over 300 lbs. of Warsaw Grouper ” for the charity campaign.

Connor doesn’t often post on social media; when he does, it’s usually about how he likes to fish. He’s also behind @ConnorsMeatShack, an Instagram account dedicated to his efforts in the culinary arts. However, he hasn’t been that active on the account. He last posted in January, reminding everyone to “ render your fat! ”

In June 2022, Connor hung out with The Sandlot star Patrick Renna in Santa Monica, California. The two were seen having dinner together at the iconic Italian eatery Capo located on Ocean Avenue. After the meal, they took a moment outside the restaurant to talk briefly before going their separate ways.

Tom appeared alongside Connor in 2021 when the two caught a baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants. Since then, Tom and Connor haven’t made any public appearances together.

In March 2023, Page Six reported that Tom “has not seen [ Suri Cruise ] in a very long time” and that he “is not part of her life.” Tom and Katie, Holmes ‘s daughter, was six-years-old when her parents divorced in 2012, and he hasn’t been photographed with her since a trip to Disneyland that same year. Tom remains estranged from his daughter and his ex-wife, with allegations that his affiliation with the Church of Scientology claiming that’s the reason behind the rift.

Tom Cruise and Son Connor Attend Los Angeles Dodgers Game Together

Tom Cruise and his son, Connor Cruise, were photographed at a Los Angeles Dodgers game over the weekend in a rare joint public outing

Tom Cruise made a rare public appearance with his son at a Los Angeles Dodgers game this past weekend.

The Mission Impossible star, 59, was seen with his 26-year-old son Connor Cruise at Saturday's game Game 2 of the National League Division Series in San Francisco, with the Dodgers facing off against the San Francisco Giants.

Tom was photographed sitting next to Connor in the stands, where he paused to take photos with fans while watching the game. The actor kept warm in a navy jacket while his son wore a black-and-white baseball hat and a black hoodie.

The father-son duo was last publicly photographed together in October 2019 in London. At the time, Tom and Connor were seen walking to a private helicopter.

Connor and his sister, Bella , were adopted by Tom and his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman before they split in 2001. Cruise also shares 15-year-old daughter Suri with ex-wife Katie Holmes .

Both of Cruise's eldest children "are completely dedicated Scientologists just like Tom," a source told PEOPLE in 2019.

Kidman, who does not practice Scientology, told the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 2018 that she loves and supports her children while keeping them out of the spotlight.

"I'm very private about all that," Kidman said, per Who Magazine . "I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150% that I would give up my life for my children because it's what my purpose is."

Despite their famous parents, both Bella and Connor keep their personal lives private. Bella lives in London with her husband, Max Parker, while Connor was most recently living in Clearwater, Florida, near the Scientology headquarters.

While he previously dabbled in both acting and DJing, Connor is spending much of his time deep-sea fishing and barbecuing, according to his Instagram .

"Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater," a source told PEOPLE in 2018. "He lives in his own home in a Scientology community. His life is deep-sea fishing. He has a lot of friends and seems very well-liked."

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's Son Connor Makes Rare Public Outing

Connor Cruise

Connor Cruise  is all grown up!

As the son of  Nicole Kidman and  Tom Cruise , the 24-year-old's personal life has been covered by a shroud of secrecy. From a young age, the star and his parents maintained the utmost privacy, but every once in awhile, the public gets a view of the elusive figure. 

Thursday night was one of those rare instances when Connor was spotted out and about. A bearded Cruise was seen leaving Beverly Hills restaurant Madeo in a navy long-sleeved shirt, which was rolled up to show off an array of tattoos, and black jeans. 

The middle child of the Cruise kids appears to be visiting the Los Angeles area, since he currently lives in Clearwater, Fla. with his father.

Cruise and Kidman adopted Connor and his older sister  Bella during their marriage, which ended in 2001. 

Their family-of-four has since moved to different places across the globe, with Nicole living in her native Australia with husband  Keith Urban  and their two daughters, and sister Bella living in London with her husband, who she wed in 2015. As for Tom, his home base is in Clearwater, Fla. with Connor, where the Church of Scientology has its headquarters. 

According to  People , Connor has his own home in "a Scientology community" and devotes his time to deep-sea fishing. 

Despite the distance between Bella and Connor to their mother, Bella has shared that they are a "very close family."

"I love mom. She's my mom. She's great. I see her sometimes and I speak to her," the eldest of the family told  Australia's  New Idea  magazine in 2012 .

Likewise, Connor has said that he and his mom "are solid." 

And while Nicole rarely discusses her relationship with her children, who remain in the Church of Scientology, she recently spoke about the mutual respect they have for one another. "They are adults," Nicole said about their children. "They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them."

Meanwhile, mom Katie oozed glamour wearing an oversized army-green jacket and beige trousers. The actress slipped on a pair of dark sunglasses, and opted for a pair of chunky black sandals for footwear.

The mother-daughter trip came just weeks before Suri turns 18 on April 18. Katie is exceptionally private about her daughter, and whether or not she will go to college has yet to be revealed. 

A photo of Suri Cruise with a suitcase

However, Suri has been involved in two of her mother's movies, Alone Together and Rare Objects, where she can be heard showing off her impressive singing voice.

Therefore, it is likely that the youngster may want to follow in her movie star parent's footsteps for a career in Hollywood.  Listen to Suri's incredible vocals in the video below.

Prior to their latest appearance in New York, the duo were spotted back in December for  Katie's 45th birthday celebrations.  The pair couldn't have looked more similar in the photos.

Katie looked effortlessly glamorous,  sporting a grey and black leopard print maxi dress, which she paired with classic white boots. 

Meanwhile, Suri was wrapped in a cozy grey tweed coat, oversized maroon scarf and black pointed-toe heels.

Nicholas Galitzine on ‘Mary & George’ Sex Scenes, Tom Cruise’s Influence on ‘The Idea of You’ and His Disastrous ‘Dunkirk’ Audition

Mary & George Nicholas galitzine

Nicholas Galitzine may have told his parents that he has a lot of sex scenes in “Mary & George” with both women and men, but that didn’t keep things from getting awkward when his mom and dad were by his side at the series’ London premiere.

“I was kind of in hysterics because there is nothing more uncomfortable than watching your son bed a number of characters even within the first few episodes,” the British actor, 29, tells me during a wide-ranging conversation on this week’s “ Just for Variety ” podcast.

“Mary & George” chronicles the real-life story of Mary Villiers (Julianne Moore), a woman in 17th century England who was so hungry for power that she successfully pushed her son George (Galitzine) into becoming lovers with King James (Tony Curran). Created by D.C. Moore, the seven-episode series is based on the non-fiction book “The King’s Assassin: The Fatal Affair of George Villiers and James” and premieres on Starz on April 5.

Galitzine believes the sex on the show is “really integral to the plot and not just salacious.” While he also feels a genuine love developed between George and the king, “George’s appetite couldn’t be satiated.”

For the record, Galitzine says he doesn’t follow the news and gossip about today’s royal family. “I think that’s kind of symptomatic of my generation growing up in the U.K.,” he says. Although he does concede, “They’re certainly entertaining.”

Next month, Galitzine headlines Michael Showalter’s “ The Idea of You ” with Anne Hathaway. Galitzine plays Hayes Campbell, the lead singer of a boy band who falls in love with an older woman named Solène (Hathaway) after she brings her daughter to the group’s meet-and-greet at Coachella. The rom-com premiered at South by Southwest in March.

“That was one of the references in my head,” Galitzine says. “I think that’s my favorite scene actually in [‘The Idea of You’] because I think so much about what is talked about with this movie is obviously the more intimate scenes, but really I think the most powerful expression of love is the aftercare in a way and the connection after.”

As for his boy band performances, Galitzine looked to BTS and Backstreet Boys for inspiration. “I always reiterate: I am not a dancer,” he says. “I tried my best over having a few weeks of rehearsal, but these are skills that are honed for the majority of people’s lives. And my boy band members are all professional dancers. So I said, ‘Listen, you old shits, you better not make me look bad, OK?’”

Galitzine’s acting career began when he got a role in a play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. An indie with the late Luke Perry followed. His spotlight grew brighter when he played Prince Charming opposite Camila Cabello in the 2021 movie musical remake of “Cinderella” and as a prince of modern-day England in the queer rom-com “Red, White and Royal Blue,” co-starring Taylor Zakhar Perez .

But then there was his audition for “Dunkirk.” He says he “got very far” in the process. So much so that he was called in to read with director Christopher Nolan. “He starts reading the scene, [but] it’s not the scene that I prepared,” Galitzine recalls. He tried to improvise thinking Nolan may have been testing him, but then he froze. “I’m just staring at him for what feels like an eternity,” Galitzine remembers. “And I finally plucked up the courage to say, ‘I’m sorry, Christopher Nolan, you have the wrong scene or I’d just been royally screwed up by my team.’”

Most recently, there were rumors that Galitzine signed on to play Johnny Storm in “The Fantasic Four” reboot . While Galitzine confirms he had “conversations” about the superhero project, the part eventually went to Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things”), something Galitzine knew before it was announced because the two are friends. However, Galitzine called his team when the internet speculation got too loud: “I was like, ‘Guys, I’m sure it’s not true, but I have to make certain it’s not true. And they go, ‘Yeah, it’s not true.’”

Perhaps Galitzine will pop up as a guest judge on “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” He was turned on to the show –Crystal Methyd is among his favorite contestants — by his sister. He was once given a drag name — Anita Greencard — by a makeup artist on “Purple Hearts,” his hit Netflix romantic drama with Sofia Carson . A full drag transformation would happen on “Mary & George” when filming was delayed one day due to snowstorm. “My costumer became a drag king and I became a drag queen,” Galitzine says. “We sort of did the makeup for a few hours, and I kind of went around tormenting people…It’s so much joy. And I have to say the talent and the time that goes into doing this, I have so much respect for them.”
