Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman‘s son, Connor Cruise, gave a rare glimpse of his life while celebrating his 30th birthday.
Connor shared a series of snaps and birthday tributes posted by his friends via his Instagram Stories on Friday, January 17.
“Happy Birthday Hermano,” one pal wrote alongside a photo of him, Connor and more friends posing with Philadelphia Phillies mascot the Phillie Phanatic. Connor reshared the throwback pic writing, “Thanks bro!”
In a subsequent Story, another one of Connor’s buddies shared a picture of the twosome standing in front of a black pickup truck.
“Happy 30th brother,” read the caption, which Connor reshared with a series of prayer hands emojis.
An additional friend also posted a pic of Connor rocking a Santa suit and cheekily posing for the camera.
“20 years and 2 million adventures deep happy birthday brother,” the friend wrote alongside the pic. Connor replied, “Love ya bro!”
Several of the tributes from Connor’s chums included pictures of him participating in one of his favorite pastimes: fishing. One photo featured Connor and a friend on a boat as they both held up two giant fish they’d caught from the ocean. An additional post showed Connor and another comrade smiling from the ship’s stern as they sailed in open waters.
“Happy bday my dawg,” the caption read. “Live it up.”
Connor thanked his friend by writing, “My guy!”
Another pal posted a video of Connor reeling in a fish. That same friend also shared a candid snap of Connor sitting on the vessel with his fishing line waiting for the creatures under the sea to take a bite.
Connor is one of Tom and Kidman’s two children. In addition to Connor, the exes, who were married from 1990 to 2001, also share daughter Bella, 32. Both children were welcomed via adoption after Kidman suffered a pregnancy loss.
“From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies,” Kidman told Vanity Fair in 2007. “And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that’s when we would adopt Bella.”
While Connor comes from a famous family, he’s stayed out of the limelight and has kept his personal life low-key. In December 2023, Tom posed with both kids when the trio attended a Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers game.
“Good Evening, Wow, look who stopped by my office before our @tblightning game tonight! @tomcruise,” former NFL player Derrick Brooks, who was also at the NHL game, wrote via Instagram at the time. “I was a little star struck but played it cool and He said he was too! 😂😂.”
