Five celebrities who gave up their children

In the glamorous world of celebrities, the lives of their children are often overshadowed by the demands of fame and fortune. Balancing work and family responsibilities is not an easy task, and some stars find it difficult to find a harmonious balance.

UAportal has prepared stories of famous public figures who decided to break off relations with their children. Although career demands are a common factor, there are other reasons that prompted these stars to make such a heartbreaking decision.

Anthony Hopkins

Known as one of the greatest actors of our time, Anthony Hopkins has left a dark mark on his personal life as a father. Abigail Hopkins, the only daughter of the Oscar winner, remains a stranger to him. In a frank interview with the Radio Times in May 2018, Hopkins said that he does not know about his own grandchildren because he does not communicate with his daughter.

"People are moving away from each other. Families split up, and you go on living. People make choices. I don't regret anything," the actor said.

Tom Cruise

Superstar Tom Cruise, known for his roles in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise, faced a break in his relationship with his daughter Suri after his divorce with actress Katie Holmes in 2012. The breakup was caused by Holmes' decision to distance herself from scientology, which Cruise had been a strong supporter of.

Since then, Cruise has not been involved in his daughter's life, does not show much involvement and does not communicate with her. However, it is worth noting that, according to the divorce agreement, Cruise will financially support Suri's education, who will begin studying fashion at a New York university this year.

Woody Allen

The famous director Woody Allen adopted children during his relationship with Mia Farrow, a famous actress. However, his daughter Dylan became estranged from him at the age of seven after public accusations of sexual abuse by Allen in 1993. The incident was shrouded in secrecy, and claims of child protection sparked a lengthy legal battle.

In 2014, Dylan boldly repeated her accusations in an open letter to The New York Times. Unfortunately, Allen remains estranged from his daughter's life. Dylan's brother Ronan, who supported her throughout the ordeal, has also drifted away from his father.

Caitlyn Jenner

Formerly known as William Bruce Jenner, Caitlyn Jenner underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2015 after becoming the father of six children. One of Jenner's children, Brandon, was born in a marriage with actress Linda Thompson, a former girlfriend of Elvis Presley. Unfortunately, Caitlyn and Brandon no longer maintain a close relationship: the father was unable to attend his son's wedding, despite their previous communication.

Jackie Chan

Legendary actor Jackie Chan never acknowledged his daughter Etta, born of an affair with Miss Asia 1990 Elaine Ng, while he was still married to his current wife Joan Lin. Although the existence of his illegitimate daughter became public knowledge, Chan preferred to keep his distance. Similarly, Etta herself does not seem to be interested in establishing a relationship with her famous father.

As a reminder, many actors and singers decide to undergo plastic surgery because it is often a necessity for them. We told you how 7 famous men corrected their appearance.
