Nicole Kidman's hopes that her adopted children, son Connor, 29, and daughter Bella, 31, would attend her Life Achievement Award ceremony in Los Angeles were dashed over the weekend.
Bella and Connor are the only children Nicole shares with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, with the pair adopting their daughter in 1992 and son in 1995.
The Hollywood couple got married in 1990 and divorced in 2001. Tom now shares daughter, Suri Cruise, 17, with ex-wife Katie Holmes, and Nicole went on to have two children, Sunday Rose, 15, and Faith Margaret, 13, with her second husband Keith Urban.
Nicole, 55, was reportedly eager for Connor and Bella to be in attendance as she became the first Australian to be presented with America's highest honour for a career in film.
But despite holding out hope to have all four of her children together for the big celebration, neither Connor or Bella showed their faces at the event hosted by The American Film Institute (AFI).

It's unclear where Connor and Bella chose to spend their Saturday night as the siblings are notoriously private on social media, but neither were pictured during the event which saw their famous mother make cinematic history.
While Connor, who is believed to be 'extremely loyal to his dad' Tom, 61, didn't appear to show Nicole any public support for her achievement, daughter Bella liked one of her mother's Instagram posts about the award.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Nicole's representatives for comment.
Last year, it was reported that Nicole hoped to have all her children present - Connor, Bella, and her two daughters Sunday and Faith - when she was handed the Life Achievement Award.
'Nicole knows Connor is extremely loyal to his dad so she doesn't expect him to come, but the invitation is there for both of them,' an alleged source told New Idea in June.
'It's an event they have every right to celebrate along with the rest of Nicole's family. Nicole is trying to limit her expectations, but is clinging to hope Bella might make it.'

Tom and Connor have been spotted out on occasion attending sporting events together, while Nicole has previously said she prefers to keep her relationship with her children private.
Little is known about Nicole's current relationship with Bella and Connor as they reportedly stayed 'loyal to their father' following her split from the Top Gun star in 2001 - meaning they were raised in the controversial Church of Scientology.
Nicole has refused to talk about the religion or her family ties in recent year, but is said to have absent from many of her children's life events, including Bella's wedding at the Dorchester hotel in London in 2015, despite living in the city the time.
The Big Little Lies star hasn't been pictured publicly with her eldest two children since 2007, and she was reportedly left 'devastated' after the pair didn't attend her father's funeral in 2014.

However, daughter Bella was seen liking her mother's Instagram posts about the award leading up to the big night
In 2018, while accepting her Best Actress Golden Globe, the Nine Perfect Strangers star thanked her biological daughters and second husband Keith Urban - but didn't mention Connor or Bella.
The actress rarely speaks about the pair, saying she wants to keep the relationship private, but has spoken of how they 'picked scientology' and 'don't call her mum'.
Despite Bella and Connor not attending the Moulin Rouge actor's big night over the weekend, she was supported by husband Keith and their daughters Sunday and Faith.
She was also accompanied by her sister Antonia, brother-in-law Craig Marran, and her niece Sybella Hawley.
Faith and Sunday glowed with filial pride as they stood beside their mother, who was decked out in a shimmering gold Balenciaga gown for the Los Angeles event.

'Deeply moved by all of the support around the world that I’ve been seeing and hearing,' Nicole wrote on Instagram with a photo of the stage.
'Thank you to all of you and to the @AmericanFilmInstitute for including me in this illustrious group of honourees - now let's have some fun!'
Husband Keith paid a touching tribute to his wife, sharing a photo of her to Instagram with the caption: 'In a career that's still very much in full flight, tonight the @americanfilminstitute will honour my wife as the newest member in this extraordinary fraternity.
'Babygirl – I'm so proud of you, and as much as I could come off sounding like the biased husband, I'll let the list of previous honourees do all of the talking for me.'
He went on to list the likes of Orson Welles, Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, Alfred Hitchcock, Elizabeth Taylor, Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep and more.
The Australian actress raved the AFI honour was 'beyond my wildest dreams' when she was announced as the recipient.
