Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise are quietly working towards a face\u2011to\u2011face reunion<\/a> with their two adult children in either London or Florida this year.<\/p>\n

According to insiders close to the former couple who spoke to heat<\/a><\/em>, the ex\u2011spouses, who divorced in 2001 after 11 years of marriage, are said to be trying to repair a relationship fractured by decades of distance, religious tension and the painful reality that Kidman’s children with Cruise, ‘don’t call me mommy.’<\/p>\n

This is after Kidman, 58, finalised her divorce from country singer Keith Urban<\/a> in January, bringing to an end a 19\u2011year marriage and her long\u2011settled life in Nashville<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their split was widely linked to Cruise’s involvement in the Church of Scientology and to Kidman’s alleged difficulties living under its doctrines, with the religion casting a long shadow over their family for more than two decades.<\/p>\n

At the heart of that shadow were their adopted children, Isabella (Bella), now 33, and Connor, 31. After the divorce, both remained with Cruise and were raised inside Scientology.<\/p>\n

Kidman’s contact with them appeared to dwindle to the point where, in 2007, she admitted that they no longer used the word most parents take for granted. ‘My kids don’t call me mommy. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it,’ she said at the time.<\/p>\n

It is hard to overstate how raw that sounded then, and how directly it speaks to her motives now. If there is a reason Nicole Kidman risks reopening old wounds with Tom Cruise, it lies in that gnawing distance from Bella and Connor, a gulf she has rarely addressed, but never quite denied.<\/p>\n

Former Scientologists have long claimed that Kidman was labelled a ‘suppressive person,’ or ‘SP,’ after the divorce, a term the Church uses for people considered hostile to its beliefs.<\/p>\n

The Church has not commented on this specific allegation, and Kidman herself has been cautious in discussing it publicly. In 2019, she spoke more diplomatically about her children’s faith, saying of Bella and Connor, ‘They are able to make their own choices. They have made choices to be Scientologists, and, as a mother, it’s my job to love them.’<\/p>\n

That line, ‘the child has to know there is available love,’ now reads like the quiet thesis behind this attempted d\u00e9tente.<\/p>\n
