Nicole Kidman’s adopted daughter Bella has posted a rare photo on social media as she attended Glastonbury Festival – after being estranged from the actress for years

Nicole Kidman’s adopted daughter Bella Kidman Cruise posted a rare picture on social media on Tuesday.

The artist, 31, posted a picture of herself and her three friends as they attended the 2024 Glastonbury festival.

In the photo, the pals looked off into the distance as they hugged each other and sat on a hill at the event.

Bella, who was adopted by Nicole and then-husband Tom Cruise in 1992, captioned the picture: ‘The best.’

Bella and her brother Connor (born 1995) have had a strained relationship with the To Die For actress over the years.

Nicole and Tom divorced in 2001 after 11 years of marriage, with joint custody of the children.

However, the adopted children reportedly remained ‘faithful to their father’ and chose to live with him, meaning they were raised in the controversial Church of Scientology.

Nicole has not been seen in public with her eldest two children since 2007 and was reportedly “devastated” after the pair failed to attend her father’s funeral in 2014.

It was also reported that she was keen for Connor and Bella to attend the American Film Institute (AFI) ceremony last year, where she received America’s highest honor for a career in film.

While Connor, who is believed to be “extremely loyal to his dad” Tom, has not shown any public support for Nicole for her success, daughter Belle did like one of her mum’s Instagram posts about the award.

Despite the reported rift between Nicole and her eldest children – which Connor and Bella deny – the actress has previously spoken of her “unconditional” love for Connor and Bella in light of their “choice to be Scientologists”.

The A couple adopted Connor and Isabella in the early 1990s after Nicole suffered an ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage – and was told it might be difficult for her to conceive.

She previously opened up about her fertility issues with Tom and how she felt a “longing” for children in an interview with Tatler.

“Abortion loss is not talked about enough. This is a huge heartbreak for some women,” she said.

She did not address her relationship with her adopted children in the interview – Nicole did, however, talk about the maternal instinct; whether one’s children are biological or adopted.

She said: “Whether you’re an adoptive mother, whether you’re a foster mother, whether you’re a biological mother – it’s an emotion to bond with a child and help guide them and nurture them. [that is important].’

Isabella, known as Bella and Connor, are the only children Tom and Nicole share together.

Connor was adopted by Nicole and the action star shortly after he was born in 1995, but the exact timeline remains unclear.

Sister Isabella was adopted by the couple three years earlier in 1992.

The Hollywood couple, who married in 1990, divorced in 2001.

Tom and Connor have been spotted attending sporting events together on occasion.

Nicole has said in the past that she prefers her relationship with her children to be private.
