Tom Cruise makes uncommon public outing with son Connor, 29, in London
Tom Cruise was seen making a rare public outing with his son, Connor – whom he shares with ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, in London on Friday.
The Mission Impossible actor, 61 – who recently grooved along to Coldplay’s set at the Glastonbury festival – was spotted arriving to a heliport in the center of the bustling city with the 29-year-old also tagging along.
Cruise and Kidman tied the knot in 1990 with their divorce being finalized in 2001. During the course of their marriage, the pair adopted two children: Connor and Isabella, 31.
Tom was seen sporting a light gray sweater as well as a pair of dark blue, denim jeans during the daytime outing.
He also donned a pair of black shades to protect his eyes from the bright sunshine while carrying a black bag in his right hand.

Connor – who is a DJ – also dressed down for the busy day, and donned a pair of gray pants as well as a black hoodie.
He additionally added a dark navy cap on top of his head that had ‘Pelican Golf Club’ printed on the front in white lettering.
The musician slipped into a pair of gray sneakers that were secured with laces and easily carried a backpack over his right shoulder.
Similar to his father, Connor completed his outfit for the outing with a pair of oval-shaped, black sunglasses and a silver watch on his left wrist.
Tom and Nicole adopted their daughter Isabella when she was born in December 1992, and three years later, also adopted Connor at birth in January 1995.
During a past interview with Vanity Fair in 2007, the Moulin Rouge actress opened up about the decision to adopt after suffering a miscarriage.
‘From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies. And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that’s when we would adopt Bella.’
Kidman added, ‘There’s a complicated background to that, given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told.’

Both Isabella and Connor have followed in their father’s footsteps and also became Scientologists, which Nicole opened up about during an interview with the Australian publication, Who, in 2018.
‘They are adults. 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.’
Connor has also previously gushed about his mother while talking to Woman’s Day back in 2014. ‘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.’
While Cruise seemingly still has close relationships with Isabella and Connor, the actor notably has a strained relationship with daughter, Suri, 18 – whom he welcomed with Katie Holmes.
