Nicole Kidman on Marriage to Tom Cruise: Life Didn't Feel "Relevant"

Head's up, Katie Holmes.
In a new interview with USA Today, Nicole Kidman said she lost her self-identity during her nearly 10-year marriage to Tom Cruise because of the couple's constant traveling.
"Tom and I, we moved and moved and moved. Your sense of where do I come from becomes less and less relevant," said Kidman, 40, who split from Cruise, 45, in 2001 and shares custody of their adopted children Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12.
"A lot of my life, particularly when I was working so much, it was about trying to fill in the gaps," she added. "Now there's much more reason to exist in the world without my identity needing to be through work."
She said her life is finally making sense again.
"I have a new niece, I have a new marriage, we just bought an acreage in Tennessee, which we're really happy to build a house on and spend some time doing that," she said. "I'm just not willing to give up my life with my man anymore."
Kidman says she and Urban, 40, are "inseparable" (she even plans to hit the road with him on his world tour).
"I also like seeing him do what he does," she said. "He can really play, and he can really sing. I'll vouch for it."
Kidman said she isn't as adamant about working so prolifically, either. As for her recent string of box office duds (The Invasion, anyone?), she said she has no regrets.
"You always strive to make a good movie," she said. "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You step into something with the best of intentions and you hope. I think that kind of approach to a career, and a life, is the healthiest way to be."

I don't know much about Nicole but thank the lord she divorced that nut Tom Cruise. There must be somehting very special about her if Keith Urban loves her. Keith Urban is rare man, he is caring, honest and brilliant to boot. Oh yeah and Tom Cruise is a midget. Keith is not short, she is just tall.

Wow...I am shocked at all the negative comments about Nicole. She never did anything wrong. How is she narcisstic? Tom is a complete nut-bag and I think she escaped what had to be a totally bizarre relationship. My only hopes are that her current husband's drug problems don't prove to be just as bad as being married to a wackateria scientologist. With regard to Katie..she is extremely young and vulnerable...Tom has preyed on her.

Cold Moutain sucks
Top gave her fame love and all the attention
She abused him, he look unhealthy with her, now he is sooo happy and have a biological baby he always wanted
I admire Tom for staying so long with the most egocentric and narcissic actress of our time
She is disgusting to the most and let her kids off her life
She was better when with him, he looks so handsome and powerful (still is), now she is mad that she is with a druggie woman look alike gnome, who nobody cares about!
Her carrer is in the toilet since she left Tom (The others, last movie together, she should thank him for the part)
She has never be catholic, she said she mix scientology buddhism and catholicism in previous interview, but actually, she is her own religion, she doesn't care of anybody but herself
The photo op with keith are laughable and pathetic;
Botox barbie lost it when Gorg

What a Liar!she is in love with Tom and jealous obviously, going out with a loser whatever what is his name.
Cruise stayed at home with the kids more than her, and travelled around the world to see the freak shoving her butt on stage in London in the Blue Room for months, in Romania, in Australia for Moulin Rouge, He bought her a sydny house for her to be close to her fox.
she sold the LA home Tom gave her for the divorce. Now she pretend she want to buy one to be close to her kids? what a joke.

11:44...Shame on them both? I mean, if you really don't think the kids are with Nicole, then they ARE with Tom. So why shame on him? They're not old enough to fend for themselves. They're not young enough to be cared for by a nanny. They're obviously with one of the two parents at all times so why shame on them both? Anyway I've seen lots of pictures of Nicole, Tom, and Katie with the kids. I think they do stay with Tom more because they're based out of LA. And Nicole lives all the way in Tennesse now. It's just plain dumb to accuse with being in the actual family and knowing what goes on.

I always forget that those two were married for a grip. They’re both so weird. Nicole isn’t even human. Tom probably manufactured her in one of his alien pod factories. She is so life-like.
(And she miscarried because aliens cant bear human children... everybody knows that. Silly)

The reason there are no pics of her with her kids is that she is probably not with them. The paparazzi don't care and will take pics regardless of her so-called desire for privacy. She is snapped in intimate moments with Keith all the time. I wish someone would tell Tom and Nicole that when you adopt it is a long term commitment, even when they are at an age that is not so adorable and cutesy to flaunt for the paparazzi. I hope her children don't read this interview of her going on and on about a new niece and her priorities, which don't mention her children, Bella and Conner. Shame on them, both Tom and Nicole...

2:02 anonymous, Nicole has acknowledged in her most recent interviews that her children live in LA with Tom. They visit her in Australia a few times a year, and she visits them in LA.

That's the most ignorant and offensive comment I have read in a long time. The one thing I admire most about Nicole Kidman (and Gwyneth Paltrow) - aside from their outstanding talent - is that they both work very hard to keep their children OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT (unlike some other celebrities, who literally use their kids as props in photos.) News flash: Celebrities do not have or adopt children for YOUR salacious public consumption. Perhaps Angelina Jolie has misled you. She needs to use her kids for publicity, because her acting quite frankly doesn't cut it.
OF COURSE Nicole Kidman doesn't talk about her children: She doesn't have to. Instead, she could afford to give them as normal an upbringing as possible, which is pretty difficult being Tom Cruise's ex, while she took the hits on the frontlines for them. There's a reason you have hardly seen any photographs of them over the years: Bravo to her for a job well done. And how do you know she doesn't live with them? Who does then, Tom and Katie? I doubt it. I respect her for remaining a PRIVATE PERSON and letting her art, not her personal life, be the subject of public focus.

Is it just me or does anyone find it offensive that this woman NEVER appears to take on her role as a parent? She never speaks of her kids, doesn't appear to live with or near them and is never seen with them? Why did she even adopt them if her men and career always come first?

For those of you that can not remember back that far, Tom was cheating on Nic with Penelope Cruz, just like Brad cheated on Jen with Angie, why would they want to be with another man like that anyways. Keith is a good guy who stays out of the spotlight and Jen will find her princecharming soon enough.

She is still crying over Tom, this is a woman that said in the past and i quote'' devastated''. Now she is saying something else. Tom never talk about her, so she needs to shut up. When she went on Letterman and said , she can wear heels now, i thought she would never marry somebody shorter than her, wonder what she will say after their divorce. For anything else she should thank Tom for her career she was a anobody from Australia.

Are some of you "off your rocker".......Tom is YUCKY!! I agree with those who commented about the suit jacket always buttoned trying to hide his belly and the hitler bangs.....Katie can have him!!!! Too bad their little girl looks like Tom!! poor thing!!

Nicole still speaks about Tom because it is the only damned thing that will keep her in the news. Look if this interview had nothing about Tom Cruise we probably would not have known she gave it. I think her PR tells her, if you have an opportunity, remind people that you were once married to the great Tom Cruise, I see no other eason for her to bring him up.

Have you people ever stopped to think that Nicole still talks about Tom because people continue to ASK her about him? Sure, she could refuse to answer, but then everybody would read something into THAT. She's never said anything really bad about him..which is more than most divorced people can say. She's said she loved him and never understood why he left her. (personally I think it's because she refused to embrace Scientology)
It's pretty obvious she's happily moved on with her life with Keith. I wish her well. Some of you people should hope to ever be half that successful and happy...

What, living with a guy who thinks Xenu was lured into a volcano and trapped wasn't relevant? Maybe he would have been more relevant had he been able to straighten his teeth with the OT8 level powers.
C'mon Nicole, what are you afraid of? What's your crime? [end Scientology imitation]

I agree with the previous post. Tom resembles a dumpy little Hitler, always wearing a suitcoat buttoned tightly over his mid-section, and those floppy bangs hanging in his eyes. It's great that Katie loves him, but Nicole's man is the hotter of the two. Good for her!

Nicole must be happy beyond belief as she is married to Keith Urban. Look at pictures of Tom Cruise - is it his haircut or what? I keep picturing him as bald underneath that cap of bangs! Keith - he just gets better and better looking, is incredibly talented, and seems to be such a nice person. I have seen Keith in concert twice and have been so impressed. Nicole - one of the best movies of this century was Cold Mountain - her performance was incredible.
