Nicole Kidman is reportedly thrilled that her daughter Isabella Cruise has found true love with British IT consultant Max Parker.

The 22-year-old daughter of Nicole and her former husband Tom Cruise tied the knot with British IT consultant Max Parker in a secret ceremony in September and although Nicole did not attend, she is thrilled for her daughter.

A source told PEOPLE: "Nicole is very happy for Bella. She, like all mothers, wants her child to be happy, and it surely seems Bella is very happy."

Nicole, 48, Tom, 53 and Isabella's brother, 20-year-old Connor, reportedly stayed away on the big day to avoid it turning into a "circus" but the 'Mission: Impossible' star was happy to foot the "expensive" bill for the wedding.

A source previously said: "Isabella and Max met in London through friends. The ceremony was low-key but very expensive.

"Tom picked up the bill and paid for everything, but it was decided that neither he nor Nicole should attend as it would have turned the whole event into a circus."

Isabella, who graduated from the exclusive Delamar Academy of Make-up and Hair earlier this year, lives in London where she works as a hairdresser.

Daniel Craig: Kanye West should play James Bond

Daniel Craig has joked Kanye West should play James Bond as he is as capable as any of the other names that have been suggested as his 007 successor.

The 'SPECTRE' star has already tipped a woman or a black actor to take on the role of the suave super spy, and after hearing Kanye's name put in the frame he claims the rapper would be just as good a choice as anybody to take the wheel of the franchise once he parks up his Aston Martin for the final time.

He quipped: "Is Kanye the new one? F**k it, yeah, get him in now."

However, Craig is growing a little tired of the endless speculation about his successor especially as he's yet to call time on his 007 tenure.

He added to GQ Australia magazine: "You know Roger Moore's also 200-1? So too David Beckham. Whatever. On the list of my priorities this is not even near the bottom."

Perhaps his irritability when talking about his successor stems from the pressure he is under for upcoming film 'SPECTRE' - his fourth outing in the role - to be a success.

He said: "When I first started these movies I didn't know any better - I was naive and didn't worry about a great deal, I just got on with it.


"As they went on, the pressure built. People thought 'Casino Royale' would bomb, it was a massive success and they were like, 'What are you going to do now?' Then 'Quantum of Solace', OK, it was difficult and a huge amount of pressure, but then with 'Skyfall', again it was, 'What are you going to do now?' Well, we got Sam Mendes on board and it suddenly became a bit easier.

"'Skyfall' made a billion. That's brilliant, but then you go, 'What the f**k is a billion dollars?' I can't conceive how many f***ing tickets sales that is, I could probably look it up, but I'm not going to, I've better things to do."

Craig, 47, himself admits he has no idea when he'll quit playing Bond, but after four films he's still relishing the part.

He said: "That's the question isn't it - do you leave the party early or do you stay and get p***ed on the floor? It's a big debate and at the moment I just don't know."

Why Nicole Kidman 'banned' from daughter's wedding

Some are blaming Scientology. Either way, both Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise did not attend their daughter Bella’s wedding it now emerges.

Tom Cruise paid for daughter's secret wedding

Tom Cruise reportedly paid for his daughter's wedding last month, even though he did not attend.

(Bang)

Isabella Cruise, 22, tied the knot with British IT consultant Max Parker in a secret ceremony at London's Dorchester Hotel on September 18, and neither Tom, nor Bella's mother - Nicole Kidman - were present.

However, according to TMZ, no parents from either side attended as the couple just wanted a small wedding with a few friends and Tom was happy to pay for the nuptials and party at the Dorchester.

The website also rubbished claims that Tom didn't attend because he is unhappy that Max is not a Scientologist, with a source close to the actor explaining that he gets on well with Isabella's partner.

Australia's Woman's Day magazine, which first reported the wedding, revealed that Max had five groomsmen, two of whom are Scientologists.

Tom and Nicole adopted Isabella and 20-year-old Connor in 1992 and 1995 respectively, before divorcing in 2001.

A source told Us Weekly: "The wedding happened a couple of weeks ago. And was a super low-key, small ceremony. Tom and Nicole were not there."

Isabella, who graduated from the exclusive Delamar Academy of Make-up and Hair earlier this year, lives in London where she works as a hairdresser and was introduced to Max through mutual friends.
