The actor is a father to three children

Tom Cruise is spending some quality time with his son Connor.

On Friday, June 28, the 61-year-old Top Gun: Maverick star was seen departing a helicopter in Central London, as his 29-year-old son followed behind.

The actor waved to onlookers as he wore a pair of sunglasses, jeans and an off-white fitted top. Connor, meanwhile, donned a navy baseball cap, a black hoodie, jeans and some athletic sneakers.

The rare public outing between the duo comes six months after another public appearance, when Cruise was spotted with both Connor and his older sister, Isabella “Bella,” 31.

Back in December, the trio were photographed together in an image shared on Instagram by former NFL player Derrick Brooks. In the photo, Cruise was front and center with his son, as his daughter poked her head through the back of the group image.

Cruise shares his two older kids with his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, and shares his 18-year-old daughter Suri with his ex-wife, Katie Holmes.

In October 2021, the Mission Impossible star was seen out with his son at a Los Angeles Dodgers game. Before then, the pair were photographed together in October 2019 in London.

While Bella often shares her artwork on Instagram, her brother tends to share glimpses of himself outside — and he usually updates fans with images involving golfing or fishing.

His last Instagram post came in April 2023, when Connor shared a snap of himself at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida.

In the photo, Connor gave a thumbs-up to the camera and wore some nice golfing attire. “🏌️‍♂️⛳️,” he captioned the image, his first since he shared a shot of himself and some fishing friends in 2022.

While Cruise’s eldest son has tried his hand at both acting and DJing, he isn’t often spotted in public these days.

“Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater,” a source told PEOPLE in 2018. “He lives in his own home in a Scientology community. His life is deep-sea fishing. He has a lot of friends and seems very well-liked.”

Cruise’s daughter Suri, meanwhile, recently became a high-school graduate this past month in New York City.
