Bella Cruise talks about relationship with parents Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise
Bella Cruise has finally spoken up about her alleged estranged mum Nicole Kidman and dad Tom Cruise. The 23-year-old, who married in September without any of her parents in attendance, rubbished reports she has a tumultuous relationship with the Australian superstar and the American A-lister.
Bella lives in a modest home in London with husband Max Parker today after rejecting her rich parents’ glamorous lifestyle. She told New Idea that reports about her alleged strained relationship with Kidman, who eschewed Scientology in favour of her Roman Catholic faith after her marriage with Cruise went kaput in 2001, were nonsense.
“Of course [we talk], they’re my parents,” Bella told the magazine, adding that anyone who says otherwise is “full of ----.”
Bella and Max apparently rejected support from her parents. They said they are both proud of their independence, and are living well away from the Kidman and Cruise’s fame.
“Yeah, you could say that,” Max said about Bella detaching herself from the movie stars’ fame and fortune.”It’s more [of a ] weird [situation] for everyone else.”
As for kids, the newly married couple needed more time before they start their own family. As Bella said, she’s still “a baby myself.”
Rumours of Bella and her brother Connor being estranged from Kidman have been going on for years. After Kidman left Scientology, it has been claimed she was branded a “Suppressive Person,” which apparently meant Scientologists have cut their ties and communication with her.
Actress Leah Remini, who was raised as a Scientologist but left the cult religion in 2013, also claimed in her autobiography “Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology” that Bella and Connor, 21, weren’t pleased with the idea of talking to their mum.
Remini claimed that she and husband Angelo Pagan rode to the airport with the siblings when she was finally able to ask them why they didn’t have a relationship with Kidman, their adoptive mother.
She wrote in the book, excerpts of which have been obtained by Glamour magazine: “’Hey guys. How’s your mum? Do you see her a lot?’ I asked. ‘Not if I have a choice,’ Bella said. ‘Our mum is a f------ SP.’”
Kidman has two daughters with husband Keith Urban, while Cruise has a daughter, Suri, with now-ex-wife Katie Holmes.
