Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise’s Daughter Bella Shows Off Transformed Look In Rare Selfie

Apr 02, 2023

They were the ultimate power couple. In 1990, actors Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman got married after meeting on the set of one of their films. Unfortunately, the marriage didn't last, with the couple breaking things off in 2001. But before their divorce, they adopted two children together. One was their daughter, Isabella Jane Kidman Cruise, while the other was their son Connor Anthony Kidman Cruise.

Being the daughter of two famous people sounds like it could be fun at times, but it can also be incredibly exhausting. As a child of celebrity parents, it may often feel like everyone's comparing you to your parents and judging you when you don't reach their levels of stardom. Some people may also try to be friends with star children just so they can get closer to their parents. It seems like the kids have only two options: withdraw from the public entirely or chase after fame and fortune in an attempt to replicate their parents' success.

Luckily, some famous children manage to pull off a combination of both. They keep it low-key while pursuing their own talents and interests.

Still, when we think of celebrities, it seems like they're on another planet. They seem to be larger-than-life individuals who live luxurious lives full of wealth, fame, and glamor. And when you're the child of two of the most famous people in the world, it seems like you're practically untouchable. But as you're about to see, famous people really aren't that different from us.

In September 2021, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Bella Kidman Cruise, shared a rare selfie on her Instagram account.

It's been over 20 years since Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise divorced, and their lives have certainly changed a lot since then. The pair first met in late 1989 prior to filming "Days of Thunder." Both Kidman and Tom starred in the film together and even played love interests before taking their romance off-screen. They tied the knot on Dec. 24, 1990, and later welcomed two adopted children: Bella, who was born in 1992, and Connor, who was born in 1995.

Kidman and Tom’s relationship was the talk of the town and easily garnered plenty of media attention. The two actors were together for more than a decade when they painfully announced that they were splitting up. It came as a shock to the world, and it left Kidman reeling with her heartbroken feelings.

"It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system,” she said.

Although the pair didn't last together, they both went on to marry other people. Kidman has been happily married to country singer Keith Urban since June 2006. Tom’s relationship history, unfortunately, has had a few more bumps in the road, as his marriage to Katie Holmes lasted from 2006 until 2012, leading to yet another public divorce.

However, Kidman and Tom’s children have continued to grow up, with the public eye receiving glimpses of them from time to time.

Bella is the perfect example of a famous child who started a successful career in her own right. Now in her 30s, Bella has found success on her own terms. She's gotten married, launched an Instagram account, and delighted fans all over the world with her colorful artwork. Her Instagram has racked up over 45,000 followers.

While some people in her situation might be chasing fame, Bella prefers to keep it private. She minds her own business and ventures out only occasionally to share a selfie with the world.

Like her brother Connor and her father Tom, Bella is a member of the Church of Scientology, according to the Daily Mail. When Kidman filed for divorce, she broke free of the church. It seems that Bella’s mother doesn't approve of Scientology, but she doesn't let that come between her love for her children. In a 2018 interview, Kidman said that her children are free to make their own decisions. As a mother, it's not her job to judge them or try to stop them from making their own choices; rather, it's her job to love them unconditionally.

Kidman might have seen her share of struggles, but luckily, it seems that she's found her happy ending. She’s continued to star in a number of high-profile movies and TV shows. Her ex-husband has also done well for himself, continuing to star in blockbuster action films. Some people have called Tom "the last real movie star." 

It seems that Bella has a lot to live up to. Luckily, it looks like she hasn't let fame go to her head. She rarely gives interviews or appearances, choosing instead to enjoy her time with her husband, Max Parker. 

According to her website, Bella is an artist and has been drawing “ever since her wee hands could pick up a pen.” She has continued to evolve her artistic style over the years, including using pen and paper and venturing into digital works.

In September 2020, Bella posted a selfie on Instagram. If you didn't know she was famous, you might think she was just another chill, down-to-earth influencer. She snapped a picture of herself in the mirror and added a filter to make the image look bright and glittery. The room she stood in looked fairly basic. It seemed that she chose to live a plain, quiet lifestyle instead of rolling in wealth and luxury.

Back in May of that year, Bella surprised her fans with another selfie. This picture was a close-up that showed Bella making a playful expression while standing in her kitchen. Again, she came across as friendly and down-to-earth. This is clearly not a celebrity who takes herself too seriously. She's content to live her life and share occasional glimpses with the rest of the world.

In September 2021, Bella made fans happy once again when she uploaded another selfie on the social media platform. Several people told her how beautiful and stunning she looked, while others asked where they could get the shirt she was wearing. 

One person commented, “Love your transformations and reinvention. 🔥🙌❤️😍 beauty inner/outer.”

And in March 2023, Bella once again showed that her look was ever-evolving. According to Page Six, she posted a selfie on her Instagram story praising her hairstylist, Jennifer Ball, for her new cut and dark locks. “@craphairclub hair is giving me so much joy still. Thank you,” Bella wrote.

Bella has stuck to mostly sharing artwork or scenic photographs or videos online, but fans are hopeful that their favorite celebrity will give more insight into her life in the near future.
