Nicole Kidman, an Oscar winner, is accustomed to having the public in on her personal life. Aside from her current relationship with her ex-husband, actor Tom Cruise, the actress has chosen to keep her past marriage and divorce from him private.
Kidman blamed her advanced age when asked by Harper’s Bazaar if the public interest in her divorce from Cruise had discouraged her. “I was a kid. I believe I put it out there “said she, giggling.
In 1989, before filming Days of Thunder, Kidman and Cruise became friends. Cruise filed for divorce from his wife of 11 years, Katie Holmes, in February 2001, citing “irreconcilable disagreements.” The couple tied the knot six months later in 1990.

Kidman has been in the public eye for decades, and she has revealed that her attitude toward exposing personal details has changed with time. She told Harper’s Bazaar, “Maybe I’ve gotten a bit more trepidatious, but I’m constantly trying to be as open as possible.” That’s just how I find the most peace and happiness in the world.
However, her reserved nature in no way indicates that she is impenetrable. She remarked, “I am skeptical at times and have been harmed, but I much prefer a warm approach rather than a prickly shutdown approach.” “Keith, my husband, claims that his first question after meeting me was, “How’s your heart?” And I supposedly said “Open” in response.”

In January of 2005, Kidman and Keith Urban met at a celebration of Australians in the entertainment industry called G’Day LA. A few months later, they began dating, and by June of 2006, they were married. According to Kidman’s recollection in an interview with Bazaar, Urban gave a statement at the event in which he talked about his mother and her sister, who was sitting next to the Big Little Lies star.
Urban’s aunt reportedly remarked, “Well, it doesn’t get any better than that,” and Kidman agreed. Yes, but he won’t be interested in me, Kidman said. And yet, in the end, he actually was. According to the actress, “angels” arranged their future success in the coming months. The country music artist was “very, really into me,” she said. He was slow to respond.
Considering her current relationship with Urban, Kidman recently stated in an editorial for The Cut that she was “reluctant” to disclose her divorce from Cruise in the media.
In her words, “it almost feels insulting” to Keith. “Having said that, I did get married at an early age, but it was for reasons of security and not influence. I feel like I had to mature when I left [my marriage to Cruise] at the age of 32 or 33.”
In contrast, Kidman now openly swoons over Urban. They’ve been together 15 years, and their children, Faith and Sunday, are the best of friends.
Like Kidman has mentioned before, her husband is “such a good man,” according to Today. “The man I married is wonderful. It’s wonderful to be able to claim that the children have a wonderful father.”
