Nicole Kidman “clings to hope” that her adopted children with ex Tom Cruise will attend the upcoming AFI ceremony to see her receive the Life Achievement Award
Nicole Kidman is reportedly hoping to have all of her children present when she is presented with the Life Achievement Award at the American Film Institute (AFI) ceremony on June 10.
Described by the institute as “America’s highest award for a film career”, Nicole will be the first Australian actress to receive this award.
The 55-year-old is reportedly hoping to have all of her children with her, including her two adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise, Connor, 28, and Bella, 30.
“Nicole knows Connor is fiercely loyal to his father so she doesn’t expect him to come, but the invitation is for both of them,” an alleged source told New Idea.
“It’s an event they have every right to celebrate along with the rest of Nicole’s family,” they continued.
