As the daughter of world famous multi-millionaire parents, Isabella Kidman Cruise, could be living a lavish life in Hollywood - but has opted for a quiet life in Croydon instead.
Isabella, who is the eldest child of Tom Cruise and former wife Nicole Kidman, prefers art galleries and London life compared to the blinding lights of Los Angeles.
The 29-year-old lives in Croydon with her British husband Max Parker and their pet reptile, as she prefers to keep a low-profile and away from the spotlight.
The artist reportedly even turned down her dad's offer to live in his £342,000-a-month penthouse in London when she first moved to the UK in October 2017 to be closer to Max's parents, writes the Mirror.
Top Gun star Tom, 59, reportedly owns a property close by 10 Downing Street that boasts an indoor swimming pool and amazing views, alongside other luxury features.
Isabella - who is also known as Bella - prefers to keep a low-profile in a three-bedroom house in Croydon, according to her neighbours.
"I wouldn’t have known her if she’d come up and smacked me in the face. I don’t keep up with celebrity culture," a neighbour named Emma told The Sun in 2017.
"They have a reptile of some kind — we can see the red light of the tank. That’s all anybody seems to know. She’s very mysterious. I suppose she’s decided to live out of the spotlight. I don’t know why she’s chosen Croydon, poor child!"
Isabella has seemingly embraced English culture since relocating to the United Kingdom - even getting behind the national team during the Euro 2020 semi-finals last year.
The artist made a rare appearance on social media in July 2021, sharing a selfie of herself supporting Gareth Southgate's players in their quest to reach the final of the football tournament.
"My face during extra time... fingers crossed," Bella captioned the snap shared with her Instagram followers, adding an emoji of the England flag.
Isabella and Max tied the knot in 2015, just a year after being set up by mutual pals, and even their wedding day was low-key - with the bride's famous parents noticeably missing from the guestlist.
The pair's Scientology wedding at the lavish Dorchester Hotel in London was restricted to close friends and family, but both mum Nicole and dad Tom were unable to attend due to work commitments.
The Eyes Wide Shut co-stars - who were married from 1990 until 2001 - adopted Isabella in 1992, and then her younger brother, Connor Cruise, in 1995.
Despite her parents having a combined wealth of over £600million, Isabella has always been keen to earn her own money.
The celebrity offspring often uses her verified Instagram account to promote various artistic designs - with her website offering limited edition prints from $30 and trendy tote bags for $19.
"Bella has been drawing ever since her wee hands could pick up a pen. Since that point in time she’s been evolving in her arts," the star's bio reads on her website.
"Her go-to medium was pen and paper for most of her life. However, she is now venturing into other formats and mediums. Including digital. Which has been a bit of a game changer in her opinion."
