Tom Cruise keeps his family close by him wherever he goes, but Josephine Agostino asks, why does it appear that his teenage daughter has become an outsider?
Tom Cruise’s family has appeared strangely incomplete of late, with one member notably absent from family events. The star’s adopted daughter Isabella, 16, hasn’t been photographed with her father since July 19, amid whispers of growing tension within the Hollywood clan.
While Tom clearly couldn’t be prouder of his aspiring actor son, Connor – appearing to take every opportunity of late to show off his 15-year-old boy during a string of public photo opportunities with his wife, Katie Holmes, and baby daughter, Suri – Bella was last snapped with her family three months ago.
When the Cruises were invited to Victoria Beckham’s private viewing box at an LA Galaxy soccer game in July, she sat away from her father and her conservatively dressed younger brother.
Insiders speak of increasing tension and distance between Tom and his home-schooled daughter as she fights to assert her own identity. According to one family friend, Bella is determined to find her own path.
She has rejected the Hollywood glamour embraced by her father and his fashionable young wife, instead showing a fascination for a goth lifestyle and alternative music. She’s even said to be questioning the Scientology faith she was brought up in.
