Nicole Kidman Husband/ Tom Cruise Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman married Tom Cruise on Christmas Eve 1990 in Telluride, Colorado at the time she was 22 years. The two first met in November 1989 when Nicole was auditioning for Tom’s 1990 race-car film “Days of Thunder.” In a previous interview, Nicole said that she immediately felt the electricity when she shook his hand. The couple adopted a daughter, Isabella Jane (born 1992), and a son, Connor Anthony (born 1995).
On 5 February 2001, the couple’s spokesperson announced their separation. Cruise filed for divorce two days later, and the marriage was dissolved in August of that year, with Cruise citing irreconcilable differences.
They never addressed the reason for their split publicly but it was rumored that Cruise’s faith and increasingly prominent role in the Church of Scientology played a role. Nicole never became a Scientologist, which supposedly made her what’s known in Scientology parlance as a “suppressive person,” or “SP.”
Their children Isabella and Connor were raised as Scientologists and decided to live with their father and remain devoted to the organization.
In October 2018 in an essay she published in New York magazine she revealed that her marriage to Tom Cruise shielded her from sexual harassment.
“I married for love, but being married to an extremely powerful man kept me from being sexually harassed. I would work, but I was still very much cocooned,” Kidman wrote. “So when I came out of it at 32, 33, it’s almost like I had to grow up. That said, I got married very young, but it definitely wasn’t powered for me — it was protection.
