Nicole Kidman is reportedly desperate to reconnect with her adopted children, Bella and Connor Cruise, after the heartbreaking loss of her mother, Janelle, according to sources close to the actress. The 57-year-old star, who adopted Bella and Connor with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, is said to be grieving deeply and feels the need to reconnect with her children.
“Losing her mum has made Nicole not want to waste any more time,” a source told RadarOnline. The loss has left her reflecting on family relationships and the passage of time.
The source also shared that Janelle, who passed away recently, had been deeply hurt by her estrangement from Bella and Connor. “It hurt Janelle too that she and [her late husband] Antony were estranged from Bella and Connor,” the insider explained.
Nicole, who has two other children, Sunday Rose and Faith, with her husband Keith Urban, is reportedly feeling “devastated” that her late mother never had the chance to rebuild her relationship with her adopted grandchildren. A separate report from RadarOnline added that Bella and Sunday have been helping Nicole during this difficult time, supporting her in the process of reconnecting with her older children.
“It’s an open secret that Nicole has been quietly working behind the scenes towards this for a very long time,” the source said. Despite the public perception of their estrangement, the actress has reportedly been seeking to heal old wounds with Bella and Connor, even though their relationship has been strained for years.
This desire for familial reconnection comes after the tragic passing of her mother, and it seems that the loss has intensified Nicole’s need to repair the bonds with her adopted children. Kidman has been under intense scrutiny regarding her relationship with her children, and this new chapter in her life may be the turning point she needs to rekindle these important connections.
