Nicole Kidman's Absence of Adopted Children at AFI Event Raises Eyebrows

Nicole Kidman's absence of her adopted children with Tom Cruise at her AFI Life Achievement Award celebration sparked questions about their relationship. Despite Kidman's previous statements about her love and support for them, their absence fueled speculation.

Nicole Kidman's AFI Life Achievement Award celebration was a star-studded event, but the absence of her two adopted children with Tom Cruise, Connor and Isabella, was a noticeable omission. Kidman has a reportedly strained relationship with the children, who are involved in Scientology alongside Cruise.

In 2017, Kidman expressed her unconditional love for her children and her belief in the importance of tolerance and acceptance. However, Connor and Isabella's choice to live with Cruise and their involvement in Scientology has created a rift between them and their mother.

According to The Daily Mail, the children have remained loyal to their father, choosing to live with him during their parents' divorce. Additionally, Connor has been described as fiercely devoted to Cruise.

Kidman reportedly hoped to have Connor and Isabella at the AFI event, but no further explanation was provided for their absence.

Isabella is married and has launched her own fashion brand, while Connor has pursued acting and maintains a low profile.

During her AFI speech, Kidman referred to her daughters with Urban as "the loves of my life," but made no mention of Connor and Isabella.

However, Kidman did appear to reference her relationship with Cruise, stating, "Some of them you may never meet again and some of them you do meet again. Some of them you have incredible laughter and jokes with, and you cry with; some of them you fall in love with, some of them you marry."

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise met while filming "Days of Thunder" in 1989 and married the following year. They appeared in two more films together, "Far and Away" and "Eyes Wide Shut," before divorcing in 2001.

Kidman has been open about her love and support for her adopted children, but their absence at the AFI event has reignited speculation about the nature of their relationship.
