Connor Cruise, 24, is set to marry his Italian girlfriend Silvia - who has apparently been dubbed the 'Scientologist Princess' - was happy to follow his famous dad's demands.
A source told RadarOnline : "Tom is behind this and what he wants is as good as law. Tom made the call and Connor followed."
The actor exes reportedly have a fractious relationship with Tom Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's daughter praises Scientology for 'saving her' when their marriage ended.
According to the insider they claim that Connor "worships the ground his father walks on" and didn't want to disobey him.
The former DJ and his wife-to-be Silvia, whose family moved from Italy to Florida, are both devout followers of the religion and it's believed that Tom, 56, is thrilled his son is settling down with a fellow Scientologist.
Nicole, who is said to have blamed the strict religion for ruining her marriage and relationship with her eldest children, was also absent from her daughter Isabella's wedding to Max Parker in 2015, which wasn't attended by Tom either.

Nicole went on: "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."
The actress said she is "very private" about her relationships with her two eldest children.
"I have to protect all those relationships," Nicole explained. "I know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it's what my purpose is."
Nicole and Tom were married from December 1990 to August 2001. Tom also has a daughter Suri, 12, from his marriage to Katie Holmes.

While Nicole has rarely spoken publicly about the Church of Scientology, Leah Remini, who spent 30 years as a member before her exit, previously described the actress as her 'Guardian Angel'.
In Leah's book, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, she wrote: "During this confusing early period, I sometimes felt adrift.
"But I had one figure I kept front and center in my mind to keep from going crazy: Nicole Kidman. That’s right, Tom Cruise’s ex was my guardian angel. Although I never met her or attempted to meet her, I thought about her a lot."
