Nicole Kidman's kids with Tom Cruise
Nicole suffered an ectopic pregnancy and lost her first child, and this painful experience drove her and Cruise to adopt two children: daughter Isabella Jane, born on 22 December 1992, and son Connor Anthony, born on 17 January 1995. Cruise is a devout member of the Church of Scientology, and both Bella and Connor were adopted through the church, as they were born to parents who could not care for them.

Isabella Jane Cruise, also known as Bella Kidman Cruise, is an American artist, fashion designer, and hairstylist — and the adopted daughter of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Despite her parents' high-profile status, Isabella has maintained a private life, focusing on her creative pursuits in the United Kingdom.
She married Max Parker on 18 September 2015. She created an Instagram account in 2018 to promote her clothing line, BKC—short for Bella Kidman Cruise—but now uses it to promote her artwork.
Isabella and Connor both belong to the Church of Scientology like their father. At the same time, Kidman has no affiliation with the organisation; she has said her children "can make their own decisions."

Connor Cruise is the adopted son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, born on 17 January 1995. He appeared in two films, Seven Pounds and Red Dawn, before becoming a DJ. Connor is of African-American heritage and was welcomed into the Cruise-Kidman household as an infant.
He lives in Clearwater, Florida, near the Scientology headquarters, where his father also owns a prized multi-million-dollar penthouse.
Does Nicole Kidman see her adopted children?
Nicole's relationship with her two eldest children has long drawn scrutiny. After the 2001 divorce, the children stayed with their father and the church, reportedly resulting in a strained relationship with their adoptive mother. She told Australia's Who magazine in November 2018 that she is "very private" about her eldest children, adding, "I have to protect all those relationships."
Connor Cruise has also pushed back against claims that he is estranged from his mother. Speaking to Woman's Day, as reported by SBS News, he reaffirmed their relationship, saying:
I love my mum. I don't care what people say. I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything.
In December 2023, Bella made headlines after being photographed with Cruise, Connor, and NFL star Derrick Brooks at a Tampa Bay Lightning game — their first public outing together in nearly 15 years.
Nicole Kidman's biological children with Keith Urban
In 2006, Kidman married Keith Urban, and they later had two daughters—Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, born in 2008, and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, born in 2010, the latter via a surrogate.

Sunday Rose Kidman Urban was born on 7 July 2008 in Nashville, where Kidman and Urban were living on a farm. The couple chose her name in honour of Sunday Reed, a noted Australian patron of the arts.
Now a teenager, Sunday has grown up with what her mum calls a unique "southern drawl" mixed with some Aussie inflexion, reflecting her upbringing split between Tennessee and Australia.
Nicole has spoken candidly about raising Sunday and Faith in the age of social media. Talking to Ariana Grande for Interview magazine in November 2025, she said:
I'm raising teenage girls right now, and it's fascinating. I think they have an armour that we didn't get, or that I certainly didn't get, because there was no social media.
Faith Margaret Kidman Urban — born via gestational carrier

Faith Margaret Kidman Urban was born on 28 December 2010 via a surrogate, with her middle name honouring Kidman's grandmother.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban kept their daughter Faith Margaret's birth private for several weeks. On the red carpet at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards, Kidman explained, as reported by Hello! Magazine:
We just decided this was our thing together. It kind of just perpetuated itself. And it protects her, and it protects everyone in the situation.
Why did Nicole use surrogates?
Kidman called her situation a "roller coaster ride with fertility," saying that seeing Faith born was a "deeply emotional" and "moving" experience. Speaking on Australia's 60 Minutes in 2011, she opened up about the challenges of trying to conceive, saying, as reported by TODAY:
Anyone that's been in the place of wanting a child knows the disappointment, the pain and the loss you go through. Struggling with fertility is such a big thing, and it's not something that I would run away from talking about.
She also clarified the terminology she preferred:
The term 'gestational carrier' is used if it's your biological child, and if it isn't, then you use 'surrogate.'
The couple chose Faith as their new baby's first name because they needed it to get through the process, with Nicole explaining;
We needed lots of faith, literally.
