Nicole Kidman’s thoughts on marriage have come to light once more through an unearthed interview.

In the documentary “Nicole Kidman: Outback to Oscars,” available on Tubi, the Australian actress candidly shared her belief in the permanence of marriage. This insight was captured during a conversation in 1992 while Kidman was promoting her film “Far And Away,” alongside her then-husband, Tom Cruise.

In the footage, New Zealand journalist Paul Holmes questions Kidman about her views on marriage, delving into the depth of her commitment.

Holmes inquires, “You’ve described your marriage as the only one you’ll ever have. What makes you so sure?”

Kidman responded with conviction, stating, “I believe if you make that commitment and declare it to be so, and you don’t back away from it, then it’s entirely possible.”

Elsewhere in the documentary, which tracks the star’s success from the early days of her career, Kidman said she was lonely in life despite winning the Best Actress Oscar in 2003 for The Hours.

‘That culminated in winning an Oscar and that caused an epiphany which was actually, “This is not the answer,”‘ she said. 

‘I was holding a gold statue and I was sitting in the Beverly Hills hotel and it was all extraordinary, and I was the loneliest I’d ever been.’  

Cruise, 63, and Kidman, 58, met on the set of their film Days Of Thunder and after a whirlwind romance of less than a year, the pair tied the knot on December 24, 1990. 

However, the union came to an abrupt end when Tom ‘walked out’ on Nicole after 12 years of marriage.

It was reported that Nicole had been left in ‘utter shock’ when Cruise filed for divorce, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.

According to reports, the reason for him abandoning her was due to her refusal to join the Church of Scientology. 

The couple’s two adopted children – Bella, 33 and Connor, 30 – are believed to have followed their father in joining the church and no longer have any contact with Nicole.

When news of their divorce was made public, one source told People magazine: ‘Nicole’s hurt and feels betrayed. It’s devastating to her. She’s shocked.’

Kidman recently shared how she’s faring after filing for divorce.

The Baby Girl actress interviewed Ariana Grande for Interview magazine, but the conversation started with the 32-year-old pop star asking the veteran actress, ‘How are you?’

Kidman seemed to hint at her emotional state. ‘I’m hanging in there,’ the silver screen siren answered.

Their marriage began to fall apart at the beginning of summer 2025. The split was reportedly a long-term development, stemming from months of quiet separation and diverging paths due to work commitments, according to Daily Mail sources.

The pair met at the G’Day LA gala ball in January 2005.

In a 2013 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Nicole confessed it wasn’t until four months after they met that Urban asked her out.

Kidman and Urban were married in June 2006 and were last seen together this June. 

They share two daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14.
