Nicole Kidman’s adopted daughter Bella Kidman Cruise posted a rare image to social media on Tuesday.
The artist, 31, posted an image of herself and her three friends as they attended the 2024 Glastonbury festival.
In the photo, the friends looked out into the distance as they wrapped their arms around each other and sat on a hill at the event.
Bella, who was adopted by Nicole and then-husband Tom Cruise in 1992, captioned the image: ‘The best’.
Bella and her brother Connor (born in 1995) have endured a strained relationship with the To Die For actress over the years.
Nicole and Tom divorced in 2001 following an 11-year marriage, and were given joint custody of the children.
However, the adopted children reportedly remained ‘loyal to their father’ and decided to live with him, meaning they were raised in the controversial church of Scientology.
Nicole hasn’t been pictured publicly with her eldest two children since 2007, and she was reportedly ‘devastated’ after the pair didn’t attend her father’s funeral in 2014.

It had also been reported that she was eager for Connor and Bella to attend The American Film Institute (AFI) ceremony last year, where she received America’s highest honour for a career in film.
While Connor, who is believed to be ‘extremely loyal to his dad’ Tom, didn’t appear to show Nicole any public support for her achievement, daughter Bella liked one of her mother’s Instagram posts about the award.
Despite a reported rift between Nicole and her eldest children – something Connor and Bella deny – the actress has previously spoken of her ‘unconditional’ love for Connor and Bella, in light of their ‘choices to be Scientologists’.

The A-list couple adopted Connor and Isabella in the early 1990s after Nicole suffered an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage – and was told as a result she might find it hard to conceive.
She previously opened up in an interview with Tatler about her fertility issues with Tom, and how she felt a ‘yearning’ for children.
‘The loss of a miscarriage is not talked about enough. That’s massive grief to certain women,’ she said.
She did not address her relationship with her adopted children in the interview – however Nicole did speak about the motherly instinct; whether one’s children are biological or adopted.
She said: ‘Whether you’re an adoptive mother, whether you’re a foster mother, whether you’re a biological mother – it’s the emotion of attaching to a child and helping to guide them and rear them [that is important].’

Isabella, known as Bella, and Connor, are the only children Tom and Nicole share together.
Connor was adopted by Nicole and the action star not long after he was born in 1995, but the exact timeline remains unclear.
Sister Isabella was adopted by the couple three years earlier in 1992.
The Hollywood pair – who got married in 1990 – divorced in 2001.

Meanwhile, the Moulin Rouge actress shares daughters Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, 15, and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, 13, with husband Keith Urban.
Tom and Connor have been spotted out on occasion attending sporting events together.
Nicole has said in the past that she prefers to keep her relationship with her kids private.
