Tom Cruise is finally ready to bury the hatchet with ex-wife Nicole Kidman — and insiders say that includes a face-to-face meeting with her husband Keith Urban and their long-estranged children, Bella and Connor.
According to sources who spoke with The National Enquirer, the Mission: Impossible star wants to reunite with his family in Europe this summer and close a decades-long chapter of tension.
The source claims Cruise, 63, once dismissed Urban as a “hillbilly crooner” and couldn’t believe Kidman had married someone like him after their high-profile Scientology-influenced split.
Tom Cruise’s opinion of Keith Urban has changed
Years later, however, the action star has reportedly “come to respect” the Nashville hitmaker. The insider said Cruise now sees Urban in a different light, noting that he admires the country singer for cleaning up his act and being a steady and supportive husband.
The shift reportedly began after both of Cruise’s adopted children, Bella, 32, and Connor, 30, spoke positively about their stepfather. Their quiet praise helped melt Cruise’s frosty attitude toward Urban and encouraged him to pursue a truce.
“Bella, in particular, has grown much closer to Nicole in recent years,” the insider revealed. “And she’s been the bridge between them — encouraging both her dad and brother to stop holding onto old wounds.”
Nicole Kidman supports the family healing
Kidman, 58, is said to be quietly thrilled by Cruise’s willingness to reconnect. Sources close to the Big Little Liesactress claim she wants to spend more time with Bella and Connor and knows that any reconciliation with Tom will make that easier.
Keith Urban, 57, reportedly isn’t standing in the way. Insiders said he has remained supportive of Nicole’s efforts to mend the family dynamic and will be present at the planned gathering.
The reunion is expected to take place somewhere in Europe this summer, where Cruise primarily resides. It’s rumored to be a small private sit-down without press, focused entirely on clearing the air and resetting strained relationships.
New love softens Cruise’s outlook on life
Sources believe Cruise’s growing romance with Cuban actress Ana de Armas may also be influencing his desire for peace.
One insider explained that Cruise is madly in love with Ana, and that has shifted his perspective on everything, including how he handles relationships from the past.
The same source said Cruise has admitted privately that he could have handled things better with Nicole, especially regarding their kids.
While the world waits for confirmation, one thing is clear — Bella and Connor may be the key to the most unexpected Hollywood reunion yet.
