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

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

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

Bella, who was adopted by Nicole and her then-husband Tom Cruise in 1992, captioned the image: “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 and were awarded joint custody of the children.

However, the adopted children reportedly remained “loyal to their father” and decided to live with him, meaning they were raised in the controversial church of Scientology.

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

She was also reported to be looking forward to Connor and Bella attending the American Film Institute (AFI) ceremony last year, where she received America’s highest honour for a career in film.

While Connor, who is believed to be “extremely loyal to his father” Tom, did not appear to show Nicole any public support for her achievement, her daughter Bella did like one of her mother’s Instagram posts about the award.

Despite an alleged rift between Nicole and her older children (something Connor and Bella deny), the actress has previously spoken of her “unconditional” love for Connor and Bella, in light of their “choices to be Scientologists.”

The artist posted a photo of herself and her friends while attending the Glastonbury 2024 festival.

The celebrity couple adopted Connor and Isabella in the early 1990s after Nicole suffered an ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage, and was told she might have difficulty conceiving as a result.

She previously spoke openly in an interview with Tatler about her fertility issues with Tom and how she felt a “yearning” to have children.

“The loss of a miscarriage is not talked about enough. For some women, it is an enormous pain,” she said.

In the interview, she did not discuss her relationship with her adopted children, but she did talk about maternal instinct, regardless of whether the children are biological or adopted.

She said: ‘Whether you are an adoptive mother, a foster mother or a biological mother, it is the excitement of bonding with a child and helping to guide and raise 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 his birth 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.

The Top Gun: Maverick actor also shares a daughter, Suri Cruise, 17, with ex-wife Katie Holmes.

Meanwhile, the Moulin Rouge actress shares daughters Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, 15, and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, 13, with husband Keith Urban.

Tom and Connor have occasionally been spotted attending sporting events together.

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