Nicole “I’m going to be a grandma!”
As her eldest daughter reveals plans to adopt, the maternal actress is thrilled!
Isabel sabella Cruise is reportedly planning to adopt a child – and i it’s brought her closer to he her mum Nicole Kidman in the them most beautiful way. Accor According to reports out of t the US, the 25-year-old adopted daughter of Nicole and Tom Cruise is desperate to start a family with her husband of two years Max Parker, 31. And sources tell Woman’s Day Bella has been inspired by her own parents to help a child in need. “Bella figures that even though her relationship with her adoptive parents has been challenging at times, they did give her everything she could ever have wanted,” reveals an insider. “Bella hasn’t met her birth parents, so she has no idea what her life could have been like – and to be honest, she doesn’t want to think about it.”
Faced with the confusing and lengthy adoption process in the UK – where she now lives with her British husband, despite remaining an American citizen – friends tell us she’s reached out to Nicole for help.
TURNING TO HER MUM
“Bella is very close to Tom, but he is the first to admit Nic was the one who did most of the planning for Bella and her brother’s adoption process,” says a source.
“When she went to Tom, who doesn’t speak to Nicole any more, he advised Bella to speak to her mother.”
While Nicole, 50, insists she’s close to her eldest daughter, she wasn’t invited to her 2015 nuptials and she has barely seen Bella since she moved to the UK.
But it appears no matter how far apart they are, a girl always needs her mum. Woman’s Day understands the two recently shared an emotional phone call and Nicole pledged to help with whatever Bella needs.
“This includes financial help,” reveals a source. “Bella has so far been determined to make it on her own, and lives in a London flat with Max with little support from Tom and absolutely no money from her mum. But now she’s finally willing to accept Nicole’s repeated offers of assistance.”
Bella has begun the paperwork to adopt – with sources adding she’d like to find a child from an impoverished country in Asia rather than looking in America or the UK – and according to US magazines, Nicole has been “pivotal” in the process.

Reports suggest Nicole and her husband Keith Urban – who together are parents to daughters Sunday, nine, and Faith, seven, and are said to be worth more than $275 million, are providing money for pre-adoption therapy for Bella and her IT consultant hubby, and are even chipping in to help with expenses on their new five-bedroom London pile.
MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME
Nicole is also said to be planning a trip to see them within weeks to “help finalise the papers and oversee everything, as well as give as much emotional support as she can,” adds our insider.
“As soon as Bella becomes a mum, Nicole is determined to be back by her side. She remembers all too well how tricky it can be to bond with an adopted child and wants to be there for her daughter, especially to make up for lost time.”
