Bella Kidman Cruise is celebrating a major achievement.
The daughter of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman shared a rare selfie via Instagram this week after landing one of her artworks in a Florida museum.
In the picture, the proud 31-year-old stood in front of her work, which is currently being displayed at the Imagine Museum in St. Petersburg.
Bella, the eldest child of the Hollywood stars, wore a simple white tank top, a silver necklace and sunglasses. She wore her shoulder-length hair down as she flashed the camera a closed-lip smile.
“this lil guy made it to @imaginemuseum,” she captioned the photo.
Although the artist often shares pictures of her pieces online, she rarely posts photos of herself or husband Max Parker, who she wed in 2015.
According to her website, she “has been drawing ever since her wee hands could pick up a pen.”
“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.”
Along with original pieces, Bella also sells graphic tote bags, limited-edition prints, T-shirts and funky pins.
The Aussie actress, 57, wed the “Top Gun” star, 62, in 1990 and adopted Bella in 1992 shortly after her birth. They adopted her now-29-year-old brother, Connor, three years later.
Although the one-time Hollywood power couple separated in 2001, the Oscar winner previously told Elle they were still raised “amidst a lot of love.”
“They are generous, kind and hardworking,” Nicole said of her and Tom’s kids in a 2014 interview with The Weekly. “And these are traits that I love to see in my children.”
Despite their parents’ public lives, Bella and Connor have kept out of the spotlight. However, they both followed in their famous father’s footsteps and joined the Church of Scientology.
Although the “Babygirl” star has differing views, she has been respectful of her children’s choices.
“They are able to make their own decisions,” she told Who in 2018. “They have made choices to be Scientologists and, as a mother, it’s my job to love them.
“And I am an example of that tolerance and that’s what I believe – that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love, and I’m open here.”
She continued, “I think that’s so important because if that is taken away from a child, to sever that in any child, in any relationship, in any family – I believe it’s wrong. So that’s our job as a parent, to always offer unconditional love.”
Along with Bella and Connor, Nicole is also mom to daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith, 13, with husband Keith Urban. Meanwhile, Cruise shares 18-year-old daughter Suri with ex Katie Holmes.
