Nicole Kidman’s Sweet Mother’s Day Post Left Out Something Fans Couldn’t Ignore…

Nicole Kidman is facing attention online after leaving out her two eldest children, Bella and Connor Cruise, from her Mother’s Day post this year.

On Sunday, the 57-year-old actress shared a heartfelt Instagram tribute featuring throwback photos with her late mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, and her daughters with husband Keith Urban — Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14. She captioned it: “My mother and my daughters in Uluru, beautiful memories…always 💕 Happy Mother’s Day.”

Noticeably absent from the tribute were her adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise — Bella, 32, and Connor, 30. Kidman and Cruise adopted them during their marriage from 1990 to 2001. Unlike her younger daughters, Kidman has never shared photos of Bella and Connor on social media.

Both children have maintained private lives, with Connor following in his father’s footsteps as a Scientologist, living in Clearwater, Florida. Bella is known to be an artist and keeps a low profile.

In past interviews, Kidman has spoken about being fiercely private regarding her relationship with her older kids. In 2018, she told *Who* magazine, “I have to protect all those relationships,” expressing her unconditional love for all her children.

Kidman has been married to country star Keith Urban since 2006. Meanwhile, Cruise shares a daughter, Suri, with ex-wife Katie Holmes. He has reportedly been estranged from Suri for most of her life.

Though some fans noticed the omission, others defended Kidman’s choice to keep some family ties private.
