Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's Son Shares Extremely Rare Personal Pics on IG

And for the best reason

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's son, Connor Cruise, is known for keeping a low profile. In fact, he hasn't shared a single Instagram post since April of 2023. So, you could imagine my surprise when I caught wind of his recent activity on social media.

Last weekend, the 31-year-old food influencer and DJ gave his followers a rare glimpse of his recent adventures by posting birthday tributes to two of his pals on his IG Story. One of them features a sunset pic on a balcony by the water, where Connor poses beside his friend, Jack. He simply wrote, "Happy birthday @hookedforlife."

In the photo, the duo are matching in black t-shirts and shorts, and while Jack holds his dog, Connor gives a thumbs up.

Meanwhile, the second pic shows Connor posing among a group of friends from inside a boat—including the gigantic fish they caught.

Although Connor typically keeps his distance from social media, he made a surprise appearance with his father and sister, Isabella, on an NFL player's IG feed in December 2023.

Former football linebacker Derrick Brooks shared a group photo that included the smiling trio and wrote, "Wow, look who stopped by my office before our @tblightning game tonight! @tomcruise. I was a little star-struck but played it cool and He said he was too!"

Connor currently resides in Florida and spends quite a bit of time deep-sea fishing—as you may have noticed from his Instagram feed. He also remains close with his dad, and while he hasn't been spotted with his mother in quite a while, he revealed that his bond with her remains solid.

In a previous interview with Woman's Day, Connor said, "Me and mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything. Yeah, I love my music, but the family comes before everything else."
