While some celebrity kids enjoy the spotlight created for them by their famous parents, others tend to stay out of it. Tom Cruise’s oldest children largely lead private lives, occasionally making appearances with their mega famous dad. Connor and Isabella, the older children who Tom shares with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, are now adults who are out on their own but aren't too busy to spend some time with their dear old dad when the opportunity presents itself. And now, a rare photo of all three of them together from one of those hangouts is making the rounds online.

The three were spending time together in Florida.
Former NFL player Derrick Brooks shared a group picture featuring Tom, Connor and Isabella at a hockey game back in December 2023 on Instagram, and it’s recently resurfaced on social media.
"Good Evening, Wow, look who stopped by my office before our @tblightning game tonight! @tomcruise. I was a little star struck but played it cool and He said he was too!" Brooks captioned the post.
It's clear they were having a good time.
In the picture, Tom has his arm around Brooks, and they’re both smiling, while Connor stands on the other side giving a thumbs-up. Isabella is harder to see, hiding in the background.
"That’s awesome!!" one comment read. "I see you transitioning to the movies!!"
Another person commented: "Man I would be excited too!! But the real question are you in the next Mission Impossible??"
Isabella & Connor live quiet lives.
Isabella and Connor, who were adopted by Tom and Nicole in 1992 and 1995, have maintained private lives as adults. Isabella mostly shares her art on her Instagram, but does post the occasional selfie. Connor is more likely to be spotted out and about with his famous dad, as they’ve been photographed together over the years at sporting events. Most recently, Connor was spotted with Tom and his sister Lee Mapother in NYC while Tom was promoting the latest Mission Impossible movie.
It's hard to say where their relationship with mom Nicole Kidman stands today.
Both Connor and Isabella have chosen to follow Tom as members of Scientology, and lived with him after he and Nicole divorced. And while she has remained mostly quiet about her oldest kids, Nicole has nothing but love for them both even if they don’t agree on things.
"They are adults," she told Who in a 2018 interview. “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."

But do they have a relationship with Tom's other kid?
It is unlikely that Connor and Isabella have any sort of relationship with their younger sister Suri Cruise, who Tom shares with ex-wife Katie Holmes. Tom has reportedly been estranged from Suri, who turned 18 in April, since his 2012 divorce from Katie Holmes. The last time Suri was photographed with her older siblings was in 2010.
