Nicole Kidman was ‘damaged’ by Cruise split


Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman has said her split from Tom Cruise in 2001 left her emotionally “damaged” but still thinks it was a “great relationship”.

The Rabbit Hole star separated from the actor – with whom she has two adopted children Isabella, 18, and Connor, 15 – in 2001 after 10 years of marriage and although Kidman struggled to cope after their marriage broke down, she has tried to see the positives in their relationship, reported Marie Claire magazine.

“We were very, very tight and that’s why we lasted 10 years which is a good amount of time, particularly when you get married at 23. That was a great relationship. I think it ran its course.”

Nicole now lives away from the spotlight in Nashville with her husband Keith Urban and their two daughters Sunday Rose, two, and Faith Margaret, who was born in December, but the actress claims she often felt forced into being a celebrity during her marriage to Cruise.

“You don’t think of yourself like that. I knew he was a really big star, but after a while, to get to a real place in a relationship, that has to wear off,” she said.
