Nicole Kidman: ‘ I was just a child when I married Tom Cruise’

In a new interview with Vanity Fair, the actress has admitted her first husband was never her true love, saying she was ‘so young’ when they were married.

The actress, who was 23 when she married Cruise, said: ‘With no disrespect to what I had with Tom, I’ve met my great love now,

She added: ‘I was a child, really, when I got married. And I needed to grow up.’

46 year-old Nicole is now married to country singer Keith Urban - with whom she has two young daughters - Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. She also has two adopted children with Cruise - Connor and Isabella – who live with their father.

Nicole compared her and Cruise’s scrutinized relationship to that of Brad and Angelina, saying: ‘There is something about that sort of existence that, if you really focus on each other and you’re in that bubble, it’s very intoxicating, because it’s just the two of you.

‘And there is only one other person that’s going through it. So it brings you very close, and it’s deeply romantic.

‘I’m sure Brad and Angelina have that — because there’s nobody else that understands it except that person who’s sleeping right next to you,’ she said.

Nicole divorced Tom in 2001 after two years of marriage, and married her ‘great love,’ Keith Urban, five years later.

Earlier this week, Urban revealed that the pair sex text each other when they are apart to keep the passion alive.
