Connor Cruise seems to prefer sharing his private life with everyone on his Instagram page.
And that includes the 29-year-old, who lives in a Scientology community in Clearwater, Florida, spending more time with his famous father, Tom Cruise, and sharing photos of the occasions on social media, according to People.
The fisherman recently posted two photos of himself hanging out with friends. In one photo, he poses next to his buddy on a hiking trail with a rocky beach and the sunset in the background.
“Happy birthday,” Connor wrote in the caption, adding a tag for his buddy, @hookedforlife.”
In the second post on Saturday, Connor was seen on a boat with a group of friends: “Congrats buddy!!,” he captioned the photo, which shows the four excited fishermen after reeling in a huge sea bass.

In more recent times, Tom Cruise, 62, decided to attend the 2024 Paris Olympics for the closing ceremony on August 11 in Saint-Denis, near Paris, France.
Connor and his 31-year-old sister Isabella Cruise have done everything they can to keep their private lives private over the years.
Before these two news stories, Connor last shared a photo of himself golfing with a friend at the private Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida in April 2023, as reported by Page Six.
The photo was actually the first time the avid athlete posted on social media after an eight-month hiatus.
On rare occasions, Connor spends time with his father and documents it by posting a photo on social media.
One of the most recent moments was when he took a helicopter flight in London, England last June.
A year earlier, Connor decided to attend one of his father’s promotional events for Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One in New York City in July 2023.
The Hollywood leading man was married to his second wife, Nicole Kidman, when they adopted Connor shortly after his birth in January 1995.
He succeeded the former couple who adopted daughter Isabella shortly after she was born in December 1992.

Tom Cruise and his then-wife Nicole Kidman adopted their daughter Isabella Cruise, 31, in December 1992, and Connor would join the growing family just over two years later in January 1995.

Connor and Isabella also have three other siblings, including Kidman’s two daughters Sunday, 15, and Faith, 13, with whom she has been with a second husband, Keith Urban, 56, since their marriage in 2006.
Additionally, Cruise has an 18-year-old daughter, Suri, from his third marriage to actress Katie Holmes, 45, though he reportedly hasn’t seen her in more than 10 years, according to a number of publications such as Page Six.
Connor initially grew up with his famous parents in Los Angeles, which led to small roles in films such as Seven Pounds (2007), starring Will Smith, and Red Dawn (2012) with Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck and Josh Hutcherson.

Nicole Kidman has previously noted that Connor and his sister followed in their father’s footsteps and became Scientologists, while she left the church in the 1990s.
From that point on, he started trying other things he was passionate about, which led to him advertising his DJ job on Instagram for a few years.
But in recent years he has turned his attention to deep-sea fishing, something he regularly posts about on his social media pages.
Kidman noted that over the years, Connor and Isabella followed in their father’s footsteps and became Scientologists, while she left the church in the 1990s.
“They can make their own decisions,” the actress said of her two adopted children with Cruise. “They chose to be Scientologists and as a mother it’s my job to love them,” she explained.
