Connor is one of Tom and Kidman’s two children. Besides Connor, the exes who were married from 1990 to 2001, they also share daughter Bella32. Both children were welcomed through adoption after Kidman suffered a pregnancy loss.

“From the moment Tom and I got married, I wanted to have babies,” Kidman said Vanity Fair in 2007 “And we lost a baby early, so that was really very traumatic. And then we would adopt Bella.

Although Connor comes from a famous family, he stays away from the limelight and keeps his personal life low-key. In December 2023 Tom posed with the two children as the trio attended the Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers game.

“Good evening Wow, look who stopped by my office before our @tblightning game tonight! @tomcruise,” former NFL player Derrick Brookswho was also at the NHL game, wrote via Instagram at the time. “I was a bit starstruck but I played it cool and he said he was too! 😂😂.”
