After the couple divorced in 2001, Bella became estranged with her mother, allegedly because of her commitment to the church of Scientology.

However, there's now speculation the rift is healing as the 27-year-old has started liking her mum's Instagram posts.

One post shows Nicole posing on a staircase in a green dress and hiking boots, with her hand on her hips.

Another shows Nicole in a floral dress with cowboy boots and a red baseball cap.

A source told magazine: "Bella popping up on Nicole's Instagram all of a sudden has got lots of people talking.

"It's huge, given everything that's happened between them."

Bella, a practising Scientologist like her younger brother Connor, has notoriously shunned the spotlight and lives in Croydon.

Now, Bella lives outside London with her IT consultant husband Max Parker – who she secretly married in 2015.

Eyes Wide Shut co-stars , 58, and Nicole, were married from 1990 to 2001.

In March last year, Nicole was banned by Tom from their son's wedding to his fellow Scientologist fiance.

Nicole spoke about their "very private" relationship with them to Australia's Who Magazine: "They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions."

She added: "They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them.

"And I am an example of that tolerance and that's what I believe - that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I'm open here."

She explained: "I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it's what my purpose is."
