CLAIM: Tom Cruise “Losing Control Of His Kids” Connor and Isabella

Tom Cruise is “losing control of his kids,” according to In Touch.

The magazine insists that the star is “struggling” with Isabella and Connor, his two adopted children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

Uh-oh!

Have they gotten into anything illegal or dangerous?

Um, not exactly.

“Ever since they were babies, Tom has micromanaged Bella and Connor’s lives,” a so-called “insider” tells the tabloid, adding, “He feels left out now that they are establishing identities and making their own ways in the world.”

Wait, so this entire article is about Cruise’s adult or near-adult children becoming more independent?

That’s basically the case.

Connor, for instance, is making his own money as a DJ now, making him less dependent on his famous father for cash.

Isabella, meanwhile, is dating a musician named Eddie Frencher, a sign that she’s “ready to break free from the family.”

“Bella and Connor have their own ideas of how they want to live their lives. It’s time for Tom to let them fly,” concludes the “insider.”

Let’s translate this entire piece of In Touch “reporting”: Children get older, and their parents sometimes have trouble letting go.

The suggestion that this is somehow unique to the Cruises is complete nonsense.

As for the notion that Tom Cruise is trying to keep his kids from living their own lives, a rep tells us that’s “false.”

    I don’t know…When you read the accounts of people who have escaped Scientology it does sound as though the leadership is the thought police.

  • Awww give ‘em a break

    As much as I really don’t like Tom Cruise, he, along with Nicole, seemed to have done a really good job with Connor and Isabella. They kept them out of the media, they wanted them to live a normal life, and it wasn’t until they were old enough did they start being in the media, and even now, it really isn’t that much. Regardless of their Scientology affiliation they seem to be good kids, I haven’t seen any article with them in a negative light (drugs, sex, alcohol, violence, police trouble) like so many children of celeberties who have grown up in the media or even Hollywood starlets.

    Just because he is a wack-a-doodle doesn’t mean they are. Now Suri on the other hand, I don’t know, she seems way too spoiled.

    Funny how he can’t do that for his biological child. That poor little girl will always be hounded by papz has been since she was born

    Nicole has a new family and so does Tom. Connor and Isabella are grown up and leading their own lives and may have families of their own one day so whats the big deal. Or do people just want to have a go at Tom..

  • Guest

    “Nicole & Tom have new families”??? Connor & Isabella are still their children & still part of the family. Just because they are older & adopted, does not make them any less important to the family.

    TomKat uses their child as a PR props, so disgusting of them.

    With Cruise as a role model, how else does he want them to act. Cruise is a creep, control freak and a nut.

    Connor and Isabella are part of Tom and Nicole’s families. Who said they werent important to Tom and Nicole?? And why would you think they weren’t??? I dont think they want to be dependent on their parents and it seems that are busy with their own lives. Connor and Isabella are grown up.

  • Anonymous

    I agree with your comment. Parents do want to hang on to their kids but at some point they have to let go. Connor and Isabella have grown up.

  • Goolee

    I don’t believe this article (they are in their teens, already brain washed). I think they do adore both their Mom and Dad, even though the press would rather that not to be true, because it makes it a better story if they were all feuding..

  • Condor431

    I do hope that those kids become independent and don’t get stuck with that scific so call religion

  • Dirk Leinher

    @Goolee
    What else then “brainwashed from the media” could better describe your state of mind?
    You never meet Tom, Connor, Isabella or anyone related to them.
    So WTF are you “not believing or believing” you simply no nothing about it.

    • Its amazing to me how the American public has been ’outraged’ at Tom’s couch jumping but turn a blind eye to his incessant profanity and promotion of sexual immorality in his movies. He is an abhorrent influence on millions of children and teens. Also his embrace of an occultic based “faith’ which was ’thought up’ by a deeply disturbed L. Ron Hubbard who was influenced heavily by Satanists Anton Levay and Aleister Crowley. Its obvious that “Lyin-tology” provides no remedy for man’s sin nature which prevents him from approaching an awesome holy and righteous God. (“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23″) Cruise needs to be redeemed by the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, providing him eternal life. (John 3:16) but sadly he insists on following the deception that has sealed his eternal destiny. “What shall it profit a man who gains the whole world but loses his own soul? Mark 8:36″
