When Tom Cruise walked out on Nicole Kidman in 2001, millions of people were shocked — but none more so than Nicole herself.
Eleven years later, Nicole has given a candid interview about the split, revealing she was “blindsided” by Tom’s decision to leave because she was so in love with him.
“I thought our life together was perfect,” the 45-year-old actress told the current issue of DuJour magazine. “It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system.
“We were in a bubble, just the two of us. We became very dependent on one another. I was reeling with Tom. I would have gone to the ends of the earth for him.
“I was totally smitten — I fell madly, passionately in love. I was so impulsive and naive.”
Nicole is now married to country music star Keith Urban and the couple have two children, Sunday Rose, four, and Faith Margaret, two.
“I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my life,” she said.
“My life changed. He is a wonderful, caring man and he makes me feel secure. We don’t ever like to be separated.”
Nicole spoke about Sunday and Faith in the interview but did not mention Bella and Connor, the children she adopted with Tom Cruise.
