In 2001, Cruise filed for divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences'. Although the reasons for their split are unknown, Kidman has made comments about feeling overshadowed by Cruise's fame during their marriage.
Kidman has said that her marriage to Cruise helped her survive in the entertainment industry, but she also suffered two miscarriages during their marriage. The Church of Scientology has been cited as another factor contributing to their split, with the church allegedly intimidating Cruise to divorce Kidman because of her father's profession as a psychologist.
Kidman has since found love with country singer Keith Urban, and they have two children together. Her career has also soared since her divorce from Cruise, winning numerous awards for her roles in films such as Moulin Rouge and Hours. Cruise went on to marry actress Katie Holmes, and they share a daughter named Suri.
Despite their divorce, Kidman has said she will never speak ill of their marriage out of respect for Cruise.
