Tom Cruise is known for his high-octane action films and dazzling smile, but his family life stays relatively private. He shares three children with his ex-wives, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes: Isabella and Connor, and Suri. While they rarely appear together publicly, a heartwarming photo from 2008 captures a special family moment.
The picture, unearthed for Tom’s 62nd birthday, shows him at a Major League Soccer game, a sport he’s always enjoyed. Back then, his daughter Suri with Katie Holmes was just a toddler, gazing out from his arms with a hint of disinterest in the action on the field. Meanwhile, Isabella and Connor, adopted with Nicole Kidman, watched the game intently.
Despite his busy schedule, Tom has spoken openly about his desire to be a good father. “My whole life I always wanted to be a father,” he once told Vanity Fair. “I would always be there for them and love them—that I’d never make a promise to my kids that I couldn’t keep.”
Tom’s eldest children, Connor and Isabella, have chosen paths far from the Hollywood spotlight. Connor enjoys life as a DJ and chef, indulging in his passion for deep-sea fishing. Isabella prefers a quiet life in London.
Following his divorce from Katie Holmes in 2012, Tom hasn’t seen Suri as often. Katie raised her in New York, where they share a close bond. They’re frequently seen out and about, shopping or exploring Manhattan together.
