Who is Connor Cruise? Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise son reportedly spotted in a rare outing at golf course

In a rare public appearance, Connor Cruise, the son of Hollywood legends Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, was spotted at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, along with his friends on October 11. The 30-year-old has enjoyed his career shifts over the years, with stints in acting, deejaying, sport fishing, and content creation.

On his Instagram stories, Connor Cruise posted a picture of himself with his friends. He was spotted wearing a blue golf top over a white compression shirt, white shorts, sneakers, and a cap. Golf seems to be one of his new passions, as his last Instagram post, uploaded in January, was also taken at a golf course.

Connor and his sister, Isabella “Bella” Kidman Cruise, prefer a quiet life away from the spotlight, in contrast to their famous parents. The siblings, who were adopted by the Hollywood couple during their 1990-2001 marriage, are pretty close but hardly ever appear in public or do interviews. Bella, who lives in London, concentrates on her career and frequently posts snippets of her paintings online. Earlier this year, one of her abstract pieces was put on display at a Florida art museum.

What has Connor Cruise been doing over the years?

Over the years, Connor Cruise has been involved in plenty of things, beginning his career as a DJ in his teens and after playing in multiple events around the United States, which include private parties and fashion shows. He made the switch to creating culinary content in 2021, posting recipes for smoked meat and grilling tips on his Instagram feed, Connor's Meat Shack.

Last year, after a long hiatus, he posted on his culinary Instagram account, Connor's Meat Shack, of grilled ribs with the caption:

“We are still cooking!! Just some fun with the smoker.”

Another passion of Connor was deep-sea sport fishing, which he posted frequently on his Instagram account, where he went on expeditions across the Gulf of Mexico and Costa Rica.

Connor's relationship with his parents

Connor Cruise currently resides in Clearwater, Florida, which is home to many Church of Scientology properties. Connor is close to his father, Tom Cruise. An insider told People in 2019 that the siblings “are completely dedicated scientologists just like Tom”:

“Connor and Isabella grew up in the church of Scientology, they’ve been members since they were kids. Connor has been able to remain close with Tom because of Scientology.”

The two can often be seen hanging out together. The last time the two were spotted together was at a Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One event in 2023 and at a baseball game in 2021.

There have been plenty of speculations about Kidman and the kids' relationship. In 2018, Nicole talked about how, despite her unconditional love for her adopted children, her connection with them seemed to suffer since she was not a member of the Church of Scientology. She told Who:

“I’m very private about all that. I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is."

She continued:

“They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and, as a mother, it’s my job to love them. And I am an example of that tolerance and that’s what I believe – that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love, and I’m open here."

Nicole went on to add:

"I think that’s so important because if that is taken away from a child, to sever that in any child, in any relationship, in any family – I believe it’s wrong. So that’s our job as a parent, to always offer unconditional love."
