Nicole Kidman Reflects on Early Marriage to Tom Cruise in New Interview
In a September 2026 British Vogue interview, Nicole Kidman discussed her youthful marriage to Tom Cruise, the advice she received, and her later life, while recent reports detail Tom Cruise's strained relationship with his daughter Suri.
Nicole Kidman spoke about her marriage to Tom Cruise for the first time in nearly 30 years during a British Vogue cover story released in September 2026. The Oscar-winning actress said she married Cruise at age 22 or 23, describing the relationship as a natural, intense love that felt simple at the time. She recalled being warned that the marriage could affect her career, but she chose to proceed regardless.
Kidman and Cruise met while filming the 1989 sports drama Days of Thunder, married on Christmas Eve 1990, and adopted two children, Isabella (1992) and Connor (1995). They also acted together in Far and Away (1992) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999). The couple announced their separation in February 2001, and their divorce was finalized later that year.
Kidman later married country singer Keith Urban in 2006; the couple had two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, before separating in 2025 and finalising their divorce in January 2026.
Separate reporting noted that Tom Cruise’s relationship with his daughter Suri has been distant since his divorce from Katie Holmes in 2012. In 2023, a source told a media outlet that Cruise had not seen Suri for several years. In 2026, it was reported that Suri legally changed her surname, dropping "Cruise" in favor of her mother’s name, citing a desire to establish her own identity.
The reports also mentioned that Cruise has received personal support from former soccer player David Beckham, who is described as a close friend offering encouragement.
These accounts combine Kidman's personal reflections with publicly reported details about Cruise’s family dynamics, presented without speculative language.
