Nicole Kidman’s hopes of mending her estranged relationship with her son Connor Cruise appear to be shattered.
According to New Idea, the actress now fears she has lost him to Scientology for good and any chance of reconciliation between the actress, 57, and her 29-year-old son seems unlikely.
The heartbreaking revelation comes after Connor recently unveiled a new tattoo that signifies his unwavering commitment to the controversial religion.
‘Nicole’s ache for her son is very real and extremely painful,’ a source told New Idea.
‘But seeing Connor double down on his devotion to Scientology with a permanent inking on his body will be hard for her to take.’
The tattoo in question, which reads ‘1938’ and is inked on Connor’s arm, is believed to reference the first mention of Scientology by its founder, L. Ron Hubbard.
Sources allege the new ink signifies Connor as ‘some kind of ‘prince’ of Scientology,’ signalling his rise within the church’s ranks — a development that deeply concerns Nicole.
Connor and his sister Isabella have remained devoted Scientologists since their parents’ highly publicised split in 2001.

The siblings have maintained a noticeable distance from their mother, allegedly due to her status as a ‘Suppressive Person’ within the church.
‘Nicole knows Connor and Bella are enveloped in their dad’s religion and will always respect that,’ the source added.
‘She had hoped they might grow out of it once they got older or at least give her the opportunity to explain. However, if Connor is being earmarked for a senior role in the organisation, Nicole knows she has probably lost him forever.’
Connor is the only son of Nicole Kidman, 57, and Tom Cruise, 62. He, and older sister Isabella, 32, were adopted shortly after birth. Both parents try to keep their relationships with their kids as private as possible (Pictured in Sydney Australia in January 1996)
