Bella Kidman Cruise returns to social media with cryptic post weeks after Nicole's low-key visit to London
UK-based Bella works as a visual artist in the English capital but is understood to be somewhat estranged from her adopted mother Nicole and father Tom Cruise.
Meanwhile, Nicole regularly shares family snaps with Bella's half-sisters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, from the Oscar winner's second marriage to Keith Urban.
In recent months, Bella was noticeably absent from both a mother's day tribute by Nicole and a group photo of all the Kidman family women taken at the movie star's Nashville mansion.
Bella also shares another half-sister, Suri Cruise, from Tom's third marriage to actress Katie Holmes.
On Wednesday, Cruise posted a cryptic Instagram story showing images of two women's faces spliced together without a caption, marking her first social media update in months.
In 2015, UK-based Bella married British I.T. consultant Max Parker but neither of her famous parents attended the nuptials.
Nevertheless, Cruise reportedly helped pay for the event, while a Kidman source told People that Nicole was "very happy for Bella."
Nicole was recently in London to appear at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and attended the men's singles final with newly retired Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
It is understood Bella, 32, lives in the English capital with her husband but it is unclear if she saw her movie star mother or country star stepfather during the brief visit.
Meanwhile, Nicole's only son Connor, 30, lives in Clearwater, Florida, a small city closely associated with the Scientology community.
The Aussie movie star has not been photographed with her two elder children in more than 15 years and typically declines to discuss them in interviews out of respect of their religious beliefs.
Tom and Nicole married in a private Christmas Eve ceremony in 1990, less than a year after he finalised his divorce from actress Mimi Rogers.
The pair were married for 11 years and adopted Bella in 1992 and Connor in 1995 before separating in 2001.
Kidman, 58, and Cruise, 63, were reportedly given joint custody of Bella and her younger brother Connor in the divorce.
However, the adopted children, who are devout Scientologists like Cruise, opted to live with their father.

Nicole Kidman learned make-up from movie work
Nicole Kidman learned how to do her make-up by watching professionals on movie sets. The Hollywood actress has revealed working with make-up artists, costume designers and directors over the years has helped her understand how to apply cosmetics properly and use them to help change up her look whenever she wants to do something different. She told WWD: "When you're working with someone like [director] Baz Luhrmann and [costume designer] Catherine Martin, there's a very specific look they want for the character. "I started to realize, as I was being created by others and experimenting, they were teaching me how to use makeup in particular ways and create characters. I could then go and use that in real life." She added: "When I started experimenting with make-up and skin care myself, I went through so many different stages: lots of masks, this and that. I learned I can change aspects of my face, augment things, and it became much more creative and exciting." Nicole recently signed up to be a brand ambassador for cosmetics company Clé de Peau Beauté and she insisted she was already a fan of their products before the deal came about. She told the publication: "I'd already been using so many of their products. It wasn't like I was going to have to discover them, and I was in." Nicole previously revealed changing her look so many times over the years took a toll on her hair. She used to sport long curls, but she previously revealed she lost her "ringlets" because she "tortured them to death" by straightening her hair so much. She told Who magazine: "I really wanted to have that suntanned skin and long blonde hair. I wanted to conform and be the Aussie beach girl. And I was never going to be that ... "I wish I had my curls back. I tortured them to death. I always say, 'Don't ruin the ringlets!'" She later added to the The Sunday Morning Herald: "Do I wish that I hadn't screwed up my hair by straightening it all the time? Sure." Nicole also admitted she wishes she'd been "more careful" with sun cream in her younger years after previously dealing with skin cancer. She added to the publication: "I've had skin cancer; do I wish I'd been more careful with the sun? Yes, to all those things. "But am I grateful to be around? Oh, yeah. And am I willing to share my knowledge, what I've learnt along the way? Absolutely."

Billy Joel: I didn't enjoy Woodstock
Billy Joel "didn't enjoy" Woodstock. The 76-year-old star attended the legendary music festival in 1969, but he didn't actually have much fun at all. He told People: "I didn't enjoy it, to tell you the truth. "I wanted to see [Jimi] Hendrix. I wanted to see The Who, and I missed them. I just saw the first day. And it was so muddy and rainy and messy and no place to use the bathroom, and everybody was drugged out. I wasn't doing drugs or anything back then." Despite this, Billy can understand why so many people remember the festival so fondly. The singer also appreciates the "communal aspect" of the festival. He said: "I got that. And same thing with what I loved about the Beatles. I loved the Beatles, but I recognised, as I grew, it wasn't just about the Beatles. It was about us. "I had a lot in common with my fellow boomers who were listening to the Beatles. 'This is great. Everybody's on the same page. We're all growing up and listening to this stuff.' I really appreciate that about my own generation." Billy is the focus of a new HBO documentary series called Billy Joel: And So It Goes, but the veteran star recently admitted that he was hesitant about committing to the project. He told People: "I've resisted this kind of thing for so long. I'm sick of talking about myself. Some of the stupid stuff I did, that's painful to talk about. (But) they asked me for some thematic guidance. I said, 'Just tell the truth.'" The chart-topping star initially just wanted to get the documentary - which features contributions from his family and friends - "over with" because he doesn't enjoy talking about himself. The Uptown Girl hitmaker - who is one of the best-selling artists of all time - said: "My goal was to get it over with. "When I do interviews, people just ask you about yourself and you get a little self-conscious about it eventually. It's almost embarrassing. "When you're talking about your personal life detached from the material ... I suppose there's a little bit of wariness involved."

Zac Brown's Las Vegas residency will tell a 'personal story'
Zac Brown plans to tell a "very personal story" during his Las Vegas residency. The 46-year-old singer is set to perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas later this year, and Zac's show will explore the ups and downs of his life. He told People: "I'm telling my very personal story that I've never really told, of what drove me into music and how music's been there to save my life over and over again." Zac is convinced that his show will be bigger and better than anything he's done previously. He said: "It's going to be a wild ride coming to this show. "I've never been able to have the budget or the time to really create something that's this big before." Zac thinks the Sphere is the perfect location for his residency. The singer explained: "The last three or four years I've been trying to think of how we can create a spectacle that really elevates the experience that we can give to our fans. And I think back to when Pink Floyd came out with The Wall and the size and scale of their production that they came out with. What is that thing for us? What is our Wall? "Then I found out about the building at the Sphere and I went to visit when it was under construction. Seeing and hearing everything that they had, I was like, 'This is the place to do it. And this is one of those years to really bet on ourselves.'" Zac is already looking forward to performing in front of his fans in Las Vegas. He said: "I'm just an ordinary person, but you can do extraordinary things with an extraordinary effort, and all of the hardest things that you've ever been through end up serving you in some way. And sharing my story is really just about sharing more of that humanity and how we're all connected. "I love the title Love and Fear because you can base all your decisions based on one of those two things. You either move forward with love and get back up on the horse and keep going and persevere or you become a victim of something and kind of stuck in the mud."
