Does Nicole Kidman Share Children with Tom Cruise?
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were married for many years, with the media paying particular attention to their relationship. Yet, not as much focus has been on these two talented troupers' children.
Recently, 59-year-old Cruise attended the Cannes Film Festival, where a ten-minute montage was played to honor the actor. The only thing missing in this tribute was 54-year-old Kidman, who appeared in three notable films alongside him.
These movies include "Days of Thunder," "Far and Away," and Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut." Other co-stars such as Penelope Cruz and Kristen Dunst were shown, and so even if it was not intentional, the erasure of Kidman from Cruise's decades-long career rubbed some the wrong way.

HOW LONG WERE NICOLE KIDMAN AND TOM CRUISE MARRIED?
Of course, these two shared 11 years of marriage beyond their connection as co-stars, tying the knot in 1990 and going their separate ways in 2001, citing irreconcilable differences.
The pair initially met on the set of "Days of Thunder." Speaking about their marriage, Kidman has expressed that she was pretty young and impulsive.
The actress stated that she feels she jumped in too quickly, falling deeply in love with Cruise. Eventually, however, she felt that she was not a separate person but simply an extension of the "Mission: Impossible" actor because of his enormous fame.
While their relationship remains a focus of public attention to this day, Kidman does not enjoy being asked about it, feeling as though a man would not face the same inquiries.
DOES NICOLE KIDMAN HAVE CHILDREN WITH TOM CRUISE?
Kidman has four children in total, two of which she shares with Cruise. The actress has struggled throughout the years to fall pregnant, even suffering two miscarriages.
This battle to conceive is why she and her ex-husband eventually adopted a boy and a girl: Isabella Jane, born in 1992, and Connor Anthony, born in 1995.
There has been speculation that Kidman and her two adoptive children do not have the best relationship with one another because of their differing views on Scientology.
Rumors swirl that her bond with Isabella, who has become an ambassador for the religious movement, is particularly strained. But, the church and the two kids have denied these claims.
Bella is a fashion designer while her brother is a DJ, and, despite the whispers, Kidman has nothing but nice things to say about her children, calling them both diligent, compassionate, and generous.
Kidman also managed to have two biological children, both girls, with her current husband, Keith Urban. Sunday Rose was born in 2008, while Faith Margaret was born in 2010.
NICOLE KIDMAN AND KEITH URBAN'S STORY
In 2006, the "Big Little Lies" actress walked down the aisle in a Balenciaga bridal gown as her future husband and country singer Urban waited for her on the other end.
The two have been married for just over a decade and a half, with Urban expressing that his marriage to Kidman is the most outstanding achievement of his life. A more mature combo, this duo continues to stand the test of time.
