Nicole Kidman has spoken out about her divorces from Tom Cruise and Keith Urban, stating that each experience feels new and different. The actress, who finalized her divorce from Urban in January, said that she was warned that marrying Cruise in 1990 could affect her career, but she didn't care as she was in love.

Kidman was 23 years old when she married Cruise, and they were together for 11 years before divorcing in 2001. They have two children together, Bella and Connor, who are now 33 and 31 years old respectively. Kidman has said that she was comfortable with the spotlight from a young age, having been thrust into it when she married Cruise.

In contrast, Kidman's marriage to Urban lasted for 19 years before they divorced. They have two daughters together, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, who are 18 and 15 years old respectively. Kidman has said that she didn't expect her marriage to Urban to end, but she is trying to move forward with hope.

Kidman's divorce from Cruise was due to irreconcilable differences, and she has said that she didn't mind being known as Mrs. Cruise. Despite being warned that marrying Cruise could impact her career, Kidman's career actually took off after their divorce, with roles in films like 'Moulin Rouge!' and 'The Hours'.

## What's Next Kidman has said that she is trying to adjust to her new life and is focusing on her career. She has previously admitted that the pinnacle of her career came after her marriage to Cruise ended, and she is now looking to the future with hope.
