Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s adopted daughter Bella just shared a rare snap of herself on Instagram, where she usually only showcases her art and graphic design works

Bella, the adopted daughter of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, recently treated her Instagram followers to a rare glimpse of herself. In the selfie, she donned a chic white top adorned with frills and puffy sleeves while her caption simply read, “What a summer.”

Fans of her actor parents Tom and Nicole have long been curious about the lives of the couple’s children following their separation, wondering where they are today. But unlike many celebrity kids, Bella isn’t following in her mum or dad’s famous footsteps – and nor is her adopted brother Connor.

Despite being raised by Hollywood’s then-power couple, Bella and Connor have kept their lives mostly private.

So what have they been up to instead?

Bella and Connor are the children of Hollywood heavyweights, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman

The two showbiz household names were together throughout the 1990s before divorcing in 2001. Nicole was Tom’s second wife.

They adopted their first kid, Isabella Jane Cruise, in 1992, then welcomed their adopted son, Connor Anthony Kidman Cruise in 1995, per reports.

According to Us Weekly, Bella was just eight and Connor was six at the time of their parents’ divorce. They were also home schooled. A report from Vanity Fair in 2012 suggested that Scientology was one of the main reasons the kids became estranged from Kidman at the time.
