Weddings are a momentous occasion in everybody’s life. Be it celebrities or common folk like us, attending a wedding of a close family member is a significant part of the relationship. Most people hope to get married in the presence of their near and dear ones. It rarely happens that parents aren’t a part of their own child’s wedding. But that is what happened with global superstar Tom Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman when their daughter Isabella Cruise banned the duo from the wedding.
Kidman and Cruise’s daughter Isabella got married to her partner Max Parker in October 2015. It was reported that the ‘Top Gun‘ actor even paid for all the festivities. But none of Isabella’s parents were invited to the wedding. Why was the actor asked not to attend his own daughter’s wedding? Was it because their relationship is estranged? Let’s find out the truth.

Why Isabella Cruise Didn’t Invite Her Father Tom Cruise To Her Big Day?
Isabella Jane Cruise was born on December 22, 1992. She is the adoptive daughter of actress Nicole Kidman and actor Tom Cruise. She was adopted by the couple when she was a newborn as Kidman suffered an ectopic pregnancy. The couple adopted Isabella along with Connor and raised them together before their divorce.
When Isabella married her partner Max Parker on September 28, 2015, none of her parents were seen at the wedding. Fans started wondering whether this was because of their strained relationship. Many people even speculated that the daughter banned her father from her wedding because of his Scientology beliefs. But now reports have suggested all of this be false.
Isabella’s parents did not attend her wedding because she wanted to have a small wedding. It was reported that the bride wanted a very intimate ceremony with just a few friends in attendance. The wedding was held in London and the actor honored his daughter’s wish. He also paid for the wedding and for the subsequent party at the Dorchester hotel.

Isabella’s Relationship With Her Parents Tom Cruise And Nicole Kidman
Earlier, it was speculated that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman weren’t invited to the wedding because of a broken relationship. But that is not true. Tom Cruise is very close with his daughter Isabella. In fact, he has raised her with his belief system and she is still an active member of Scientology. She also clarified in 2016 how she still talks to both parents and maintains a cordial relationship with both of them.
After Cruise and Kidman divorced in 2001, the kids chose to stay with Cruise. Kidman has confessed many times how their decision has impacted her and that the time following her divorce from Cruise she was ‘lonely’ and ‘hopeless’. She has also said how her relationship with her first two kids has suffered due to the distance both emotional and physical.
In recent years, Isabella and Nicole have been seen reconciling and mending their relationship. According to a source, “It was a very emotional moment for all of them, especially Nicole. It didn’t take long for her to burst into tears, and Bella soon followed.” It is great to see that the mother-daughter duo are taking efforts to rebuild their relationship. Hence, it is sure that even though the kids are out of the limelight, they still maintain a good relationship with their parents.
