Rumours have swelled for years that Bella Cruise, adopted daughter to Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, is estranged from her mega-star parents.
News of her intimate wedding late last year saw the 23-year-old’s name splashed across tabloids amidst claims Nicole didn’t even know her daughter was getting married. While the ceremony was modest, with only a handful of friends selected as invitees, the absence of Bella’s parents was notable if not eyebrow raising.
But now, for the first time since reports of her new marriage broke, Bella has addressed gossip that she has severed all ties with her Hollywood parents. Speaking to New Idea, the London local has slammed those who say her relationship with her mother has disintegrated.

A little ironic the interview appears in New Idea - aren't they the ones who usually print the stories about the 'family estrangements'?
Bella is Tom and Nicole's daughter. There is no need to add "adopted", she is their daughter. My brother is my brother - not my adopted brother.
Yes, yes, YES! Two weeks ago I lost my dear Dad. Not my adopted dad. My Daddy. The man who desperately wanted me, loved me and raised me.
Precisely. The "adopted" tag has annoyed me for years. I'm adopted and don't think my parents have ever considered me anything but their daughter, just as they are my parents.
I really, really appreciate your comment. It may seem like just words, but especially when there are some biological and some adopted children in the same family, it feels really minimising.
And for those arguing it's just journalism, there are ways to mention that Isabella was adopted without putting the word in front of 'daughter'.
Perfectly said Lisa :))
