Inside Tom Cruise’s Relationship With Kids Isabella, Connor, and Suri

Tom and Nicole adopted their eldest child, Isabelwhen she was born on December 22, 1992.

Tom admitted he was “scared to death” the first time he changed a diaper. VF In 1994, he and Nicole “talked about kids from time to time, but there was always work. But then we started, ‘When is the right time?’ That’s how the conversation started. You’re lying in bed at night and you’re trying to sleep, so you roll over and you think, ‘What would happen if this were our life?’… One of the things Nick and I talk about is that now we’re suddenly family.”

Nicole said they definitely plan to have more children, whether biological or adopted, or preferably both.

“Isabella was meant for us,” she told the magazine. “I think when something happens in your life at a certain time, you have to accept it. It’s destiny.”

She later opened VF in 2007 that they decided to adopt after she lost a pregnancy. “From the minute Tom and I got married, I wanted to have children,” she said. “And we lost a baby at a young age, so it was really traumatic. And that’s when we adopted Bella.”

“There’s a complicated backstory to it,” she added, “given that I never talk much about a lot of things. One day, maybe that story will be told.”
