Nicole Kidman ‘fears she has lost her son Connor to Scientology for good’ after he gets controversial tattoo
Nicole Kidman’s hopes of repairing her estranged relationship with her son Connor Cruise appear to be in tatters.
According to New ideaThe actress now fears she has lost him to Scientology for good and that a reconciliation between the 57-year-old actress and her 29-year-old son seems unlikely.
This heartbreaking revelation comes after Connor recently showed off a new tattoo symbolizing his unwavering devotion to the controversial religion.
“Nicole’s longing for her son is very real and extremely painful,” a source told New Idea.
“But it will be hard for her to see Connor redouble his dedication to Scientology with a permanent tattoo on his body.”
The tattoo in question, which reads “1938” on Connor’s arm, is said to refer to the first mention of Scientology by its founder, L. Ron Hubbard.
Sources claim the new ink points to Connor being some sort of “prince” of Scientology, indicating his rise within the church’s ranks. This development has Nicole deeply concerned.
Connor and his sister Isabella have remained staunch Scientologists since their parents’ much-publicized divorce in 2001.
Nicole Kidman’s hopes of repairing her estranged relationship with her son Connor Cruise appear to have been dashed
According to a new report, the actress now fears she has lost him to Scientology for good. Any chance of reconciliation between Nicole, 57, and her 29-year-old son is looking increasingly unlikely.
The siblings keep a conspicuous distance from their mother, reportedly because of her status as a “Suppressive Person” within the church.
“Nicole knows that Connor and Bella are committed to their father’s faith and will always respect that,” the source added.
“She had hoped that they would grow out of it as they got older or at least give her a chance to explain it. But when Connor is earmarked for a senior role in the organization, Nicole knows she’s likely to lose him for good.”
Connor is the only son of Nicole Kidman, 57, and Tom Cruise, 62. He and his older sister Isabella, 32, were adopted shortly after his birth. Both parents try to keep their relationships with their children as private as possible (Pictured in Sydney in January 1996)
