An anxious Nicole Kidman is terrified Katie Holmes is going to come between her and her beloved 14-year-old daughter Isabella. After spending months trying to build a closer relationship with her eldest child, the 39-year-old actress is living a mother’s worst nightmare amid fears Isabella will be forced into step-mum Katie’s arms in LA while Nicole is living in Australia.
Distressed that Katie is doing all the things she should be doing with her daughter, it’s believed Nicole called Tom, 44, and told him, “Isabella already has a mother! She doesn’t need a new one.”
“She told Tom that Katie needs to step back a little when it comes to her daughter,” says an insider. “Nicole told Tom that if Isabella wants to be Katie’s friend, that’s fine. But she needs to stop acting like Isabella needs a new mom. She doesn’t.”
“Isabella has told her dad [Tom Cruise] that she needs to see her mother more often,” adds the insider. But Tom says Nic has to go to Los Angeles to see her children.
Although Nicole and Tom share custody of Isabella and Connor, friends say the actress often feels as though she is being pushed out of her children’s lives.
