Kidman and Cruise’s daughter looking for a house... in Croydon

- By Alisha Rouse Showbusine­ss Correspond­ent

HER adoptive parents live in Hollywood luxury, each with a portfolio of spectacula­r properties in the US.

Walking the streets in jeans and a baggy sweatshirt, Isabella Cruise looks anything but an A-lister’s daughter as she searches for a new home... in Croydon.

The 24-year-old lives her life in Britain far from the glamour of her adoptive parents Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

Miss Cruise was spotted in the street arm in arm with her husband Max Parker, an IT consultant, as they looked for a house in South London. The pair married in a Scientolog­ist ceremony in London in 2015, but neither of her famous parents attended.

Miss Cruise was notably estranged from her Australian mother for years, but is reportedly now back in contact. However, last week she was snubbed during an Emmy awards speech by Miss Kidman, 50.

Accepting a best actress award for the hit drama series Big Little Lies, she only mentioned the two girls she had with her current husband, Keith Urban. ‘I am also a mother and a wife,’ she said. ‘I have two little girls, Sunny and Faith. This is yours.

‘I want my little girls to have this on their shelf and to look at it and go, “Every time my mama didn’t put me to bed, it’s because of this”.’ Miss Cruise was adopted in 1992, followed by her younger brother Connor three years later.

When Top Gun star Cruise and Miss Kidman split in 2001 after 11 years, both children went live with their father and followed him into the Church of Scientolog­y. While Miss Kidman rarely talks of her family, she described her recent film Lion as a ‘love letter’ to her adopted children.

She said the movie – about an Indian boy who is adopted by an Australian couple – made her think about their background­s, adding: ‘You’re all intertwine­d. Your destinies somehow all come together.’

Cruise, 55, also has an 11-year-old daughter, Suri, by second wife Katie Holmes.
