Nicole Kidman: Tom, Katie and the children I lost

Nicole Kidman: Tom, Katie and the children I lost

For the first time, the very private actress opens up about all the topics that have previously been off limits.

Nicole Kidman has climbed the A-list higher than many actresses would dare to dream, and has a blockbuster career that has won her millions of fans from around the world. Yet nothing intrigues people more than her fascinating – and mysterious – personal life.

It’s something the 45-year-old mum-of-four has kept close to her chest, until now. In a candid interview, Nicole has finally lifted the lid on much-speculated, never-confirmed details about her life, including her marriage with ex-husband Tom Cruise and her struggle to have children.

Now happily married to country rocker Keith Urban, Nicole made no secret of the fact that she was relieved when she divorced devout Scientologist Tom in 2001, famously cheering as she left the California divorce office. “I got married really fast and really young. But I don’t regret that because it got me [adopted children] Bella and Connor, and I did have a fantastic marriage for a long period,” Nicole tells Who magazine.

She doesn’t hide the fact that the split threw her life into turmoil. “I had to dig deep and fight my way through the depression,” the actress reveals. Nicole understands the plight of Tom’s next wife, Katie Holmes, who sensationally filed for divorce earlier this year, but she brushes off any suggestion of involvement in their split.
