'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 their ties to the Church of Scientology.

Connor was adopted by Kidman and Cruise in 1995, two years after they adopted his sister Isabella.

'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.'

The last time she was photographed with Connor in public was at the Annual Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles in 2007, when he was just 13.

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.
