Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s son Connor has denied rumours suggesting he is estranged from his mother, saying that their relationship is 'solid'.

The 19-year-old, who was in Australia recently to DJ at the Good Life festivals, told Woman's Day, 'I love my mum'.

'I don’t care what people say. I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything,' he said.

'Yeah, I love my music, but the family comes before everything else.'

Rumours have long circulated that Connor and Isabella's relationship with Nicole has been strained because like their ties to the Church of Scientology.

Connor was adopted by Kidman and Cruise in 1995, two years after the then-couple adopted his sister Isabella.

In 2007, she said her adopted children had even stopped calling her 'Mum', sparking rumours their relationship was strained.

'My kids don't call me mommy, they don't even call me mom. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it,' she said.

Those rumours were fuelled further three years later, when she spoke publicly about the children - who are both committed Scientologists along with their father - choosing to live with Cruise.

Kidman has previously insisted she does keep in contact with Connor and Isabella, despite them choosing to live with Cruise when they split.

'They live with Tom, which was their choice,' she said.

'I'd love them to live with us, but what can you do?'

She added to E! News: 'Everybody has their own path and when they find their path it’s such a relief as a parent.'

Kidman now lives predominantly in Nashville, Tennessee, with her second husband Keith Urban. THe couple have two children together - Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

Cruise also has another child, Suri, whom he had while married to his now ex-wife Katie Holmes.

OMG DM! Now I'm truly convinced that you do the "adopted" thing just to get more traffic on a story. We know, hell the world knows. They are no longer kids, they are now young adults. When they are in their sixties will DM still be referring to them as the adopted kids of... If you are going to do a story about them, do the story, but the adopted stuff is just rude at this point.

Whatever Connor's relationship is with his mother, it's between him and his mother and no one else has any business asking!! The nerve of people these days!

Well, his bank account is certainly solid, and no way would Kim deny her adopted children after she divorced Tom. So stop implying it!

I'm likely to believe him. Just because you don't see them together hanging out,it dose not mean they don't have a good relationship. No one knows what happens personally between then unless they are right there.
