She has struggled with life in the limelight having led a low key existence in London for some time where few know her as the adopted daughter of superstar couple Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise.

And Bella Cruise, who quietly married IT consultant Max Parker in London last month, is intent on carving out her own path in life opting to begin married life in the working class suburb of Croydon.

The 22-year-old has settled into conjugal life in a quiet corner of the south London city - the birth place of model Kate Moss, - shunning the glitz and glamour of her formative years.

Bella's new environs has been home for more than 20 years to her husband's family; his father is a test pilot at Gatwick Airport, while his mother works as an antiques restorer.

The sprawling city is a far cry from smart SW7 where Bella lived in London with her father Tom paying her rent.

And indeed with its towering blocks and sprawling estates, it's a world from her formative years growing up in Tom's rambling Los Angeles mansion after he split from second wife Nicole.

Red head Bella reportedly married Max last month in a Scientologist ceremony at The Dorchester hotel in London and her mother Nicole Kidman, 48, was not among those celebrating the wedding.

Indeed, only a handful of friends were present for the marriage and afterwards, the men in the party retired to the roof terrace with brandy and cigars, while the women posed for pictures with a bunch of white balloons.

Then came the reception — an alcohol-fuelled party held in a trendy Shoreditch bar, apparently paid for by her actor father, Tom Cruise.

Woman's Day reports that Nicole, who was in London preparing for her West End stage role as British scientist Rosalind Franklin but not at the wedding, is concerned for her daughter's new home, in an area which has a reputation for high crime.

The publication states: 'Nicole was thrilled by news of Bella's nuptials, despite wishing she could have attended but she is said to be worried about her adoptive daughter's residence in one of London's least desirable suburbs.'
