Nicole Kidman has given fans a rare glimpse into not one but two of her most high-profile relationships.
The Oscar-winning actor was married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001, and adopted two children together: Isabella and Connor.
Following their split, she then met musician Keith Urban in 2005 in Los Angeles, with the pair marrying a year later in Sydney, Australia.
Nicole and Keith welcomed two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, and for years were one of Hollywood’s power couples.
However, in September 2025, Nicole announced that she and Keith had separated.
It was revealed that she had filed for divorce — despite reportedly not wanting the split — citing irreconcilable differences.
Now, almost a year on, and after having clearly embraced the single life, Nicole has opened up about both marriages and how they differed from one another.
Speaking to British Vogue, the 59-year-old explained how her relationship with Tom Cruise impacted the very beginning of her career.
‘You have to remember literally, because of who I married at such a young age, I was thrust into it since I was 22,’ she began.
‘I got married so young. Suddenly I was 22, 23 years old and I had this huge movie star husband. But it just seemed completely natural. We just fell madly in love and it was that simple.’
Nicole continued, saying that people warned her that her marriage could affect her career. However, it didn’t faze her.
‘I’m like, “I don’t care. I’m in love. I want to be married.” And then I was his wife and they were like, “See, we told you.” I’m like, “So what? I wasn’t meant to marry the man I love? Of course I’ll throw my career away. I don’t care”.’
Sadly, we all know that fairytale didn’t last. Neither did the naivety of young love in the public eye.
When Nicole met Keith at 38, she had fully established herself as a force to be reckoned with and was one of the most famous actors in the world.
They would regularly accompany each other to red carpet events and put on a united, caring display.
