As Nicole Kidman is moving ahead with her divorce from Keith Urban, people close to her say the pain and public chatter feel like a repeat of her split from Tom Cruise more than two decades ago.
Kidman reportedly filed for divorce from Urban on September 30, citing irreconcilable differences. Meanwhile, her friends claim that the speed and scrutiny are like 2001, when her marriage to Cruise ended under the spotlight.
Nicole Kidman reliving her past heartbreak amid Keith Urban divorce, says source
Nicole Kidman’s rumored divorce from Keith Urban has been making headlines, and the pain mirrors her split from Tom Cruise in 2001. TMZ reported that the couple had been living apart since early summer.
Moreover, court filings show Kidman seeking primary residential custody of their daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. The Daily Mail reported that the former couple signed a parenting agreement over the summer that gives Kidman primary custody and outlines a detailed holiday schedule.
Through it all, Kidman has been working, appearing at the Nashville Film Festival on September 22, while keeping her private life out of view. Even so, her friends say the emotional weight has been heavy.
A source told the Daily Mail, “I feel so bad for Nic and what she’s going through. It’s like she’s reliving her split from Tom [Cruise] all over again when she was shamed in front of the world.” Another added, “She wanted to still be with Keith, but here we are. It has been a very sad and frustrating week. With a very heavy heart she is going through all the emotions right now and realizing that it is actually over.”
The past has resurfaced in other ways, too. Fox News noted that a clip from Kidman’s 2001 appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman is circulating again. When asked about the Cruise divorce during the interview, Kidman flashed a small grin and said, “Well, I can wear heels now.” After a pause, she added, “Let’s move on.”
For Nicole Kidman, moving on from her divorce from Keith Urban means keeping close to her daughters and focusing on work. While it has reportedly dug up memories of her split from Tom Cruise, she has projects underway to prioritize.
