Tom Cruise Steps Out With His and Nicole Kidman’s Son Connor for Rare Outing in London

Tom Cruise and his 29-year-old son Connor—who he shares with ex Nicole Kidman—enjoyed a family helicopter ride in London.

om Cruise’s latest mission? A helicopter ride with his son.

The Mission: Impossible star and Connor Cruise touched down at a heliport in London on June 28.

For their father-son outing, Tom donned a gray T-shirt, blue jeans and a pair of his signature aviator sunglasses. Meanwhile, his 29-year-old—who he and ex Nicole Kidman share along with daughter Isabella Cruise, 31—also kept things casual in a black hoodie, slate-colored joggers and a matching baseball cap that read “Pelican Golf Club.”

The sighting comes just days after Tom hit up Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium. On June 22, the Top Gun actor was seen dancing with a slew of celeb guests—including Liam Hemsworth, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Greta Gerwig and Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce—inside the VIP tent at the sold-out show.

That same week, Tom and Katie Holmes’ 18-year-old daughter Suri Cruise graduated from high school in New York City.

Though Tom was not seen at the graduation ceremony, his ex-wife Katie was there to commemorate their child’s academic milestone.

And in recent years, Katie—who divorced Tom in 2012—has been adamant on keeping Suri out of the spotlight after she was “so visible at a young age.”

“I really like to protect her,” the Dawson’s Creek alum told Glamour last year. “I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She’s an incredible person.”

Though Suri did lend her vocals to the films Alone Together and Rare Objects, the 45-year-old noted that “both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people.”

“It was very meaningful to me to have her there,” Katie added, “because she’s my heart.”

Marriage to Nicole Kidman

Tom Cruise was in the process of divorcing first wife Mimi Rogers when he met Nicole Kidman making the racing movie Days of Thunder in early 1990. He proposed to the Australian actress once he was officially single and they tied the knot that year on Christmas Eve.

“It was that special connection when you recognize your soul mate,” Tom told Vanity Fair in 1994. “She is a person who understands. It was as if a whole new life had started for me.”

They announced their divorce in February 2001 with a press release citing the “difficulties inherent of diverging careers which constantly keep them apart.” Though it’s unclear if Nicole agreed with that rationale.

“I’m starting to understand now [why we broke up],” she told Vanity Fair toward the end of 2002. “At the time I didn’t.”

Her ex, meanwhile, had told the publication earlier that year, “She knows why, and I know why. She’s the mother of my children, and I wish her well. And I think that you just move on. And I don’t say that lightly. I don’t say that with anything.”

Isabella Cruise

Tom and Nicole adopted their eldest child, Isabella, when she was born on Dec. 22, 1992.

Admittedly “scared to death” the first time he changed a diaper, Tom told VF in 1994 that he and Nicole “talked about children from time to time, but there was always the work. But then we went, When is it ever going to be the right time? That’s how the conversation started. You’re lying in bed at night and you’re trying to sleep, so you roll over and you go, What would happen if we had this in our life?… One of the things that Nic and I talk about is that now suddenly we’re a family.”

Nicole said they definitely planned on having more kids, whether by birth or adoption, preferably both.

“Isabella was meant for us,” she told the magazine. “I think when things come into your life at a certain time you have to take them. It’s destiny.”

She later revealed to VF in 2007 that they decided to adopt after she lost a pregnancy. “From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies,” she said. “And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that’s when we would adopt Bella.”

“There’s a complicated background to that,” she added, “given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told.”

Isabella Cruise

Isabella, an artist and graduate of London’s Delamar Academy of Make-Up and Hair, lives in England with husband Max Parker.

It raised a few eyebrows when the bride’s parents didn’t attend the couple’s 2015 wedding at the Dorchester hotel in London.

“Of course, they’re my parents,” she fired back at Daily Mail Online when the newlywed was asked if she spoke to Tom and Nicole. “Anyone who says otherwise is full of s–t.”

Moreover, only a few close friends attended and the groom’s parents weren’t there, either, his mom Beverly Parker telling the Mail they stayed away to avoid “a media circus.” Calling the pair “lovely,” she said, “I’m very pleased for them both and they’re very happy.”

Max told the publication that “you could say” his wife had foregone the spotlight, but it was “more of a weird situation for everyone else” than it was for them.

Meanwhile, sources told People that Tom approved of Max, was OK with not being there and he paid for the wedding, while Nicole was just glad her daughter seemed happy.
