Award-wiinning actor Nicole Kidman reveals that Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra Lee were a support system to her after her divorce from Tom Cruise.
In an interview with Australian Women's Weekly, Nicole opened up about her divorce from Tom Cruise. "When I got divorced, Hugh and Deb were so much a part of my healing," Kidman said.
"They were some of my best friends through that period," added Nicole, who is busy with the second season of Big Little Lies.
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman got married in 1990, and adopted two kids, Connor and Isabella. During their relationship, the couple had starred in films such as Far And Away and Eyes Wide Shut. In February 2001, Cruise filed for divorce from Nicole Kidman, citing "irreconciable differences". While it is not known why the two called it quits, there were rumours that Tom's faith in scientology played a part.
"The greatest thing our family priest told us very early on in our marriage was, 'Always kiss hello and kiss goodbye'. It just keeps you connected," she said.
