Nicole Kidman's Past Reflections on Tom Cruise Divorce Resurface Amid Reports of Keith Urban Separation

Nicole Kidman's recent split from Keith Urban has reignited attention on her past, including her candid reflections on her 2001 divorce from Tom Cruise.

Nicole Kidman's 2001 interview on "The Late Show with David Letterman" has been gaining renewed attention following news of her split from Keith Urban.

At the time, Kidman was navigating her divorce from first husband Tom Cruise. On August 2, 2001, she appeared on Letterman's show to promote her film "The Others."

Letterman opened the conversation by asking with a cheerful tone, "I heard you're getting divorced, how's that going?" When he suggested she wouldn't have come on the show if things weren't okay, Kidman replied, "I'd probably still be here."

When pressed about the public's curiosity regarding her divorce, she acknowledged that wherever she went, she got a lot of questions about what happened.

Shortly after, Kidman quipped with a smirk, "Well, I can wear heels now," prompting laughter from Letterman and applause from the audience. She then added, "Let's move on. Now we move on."

Fast forward to 2025, Kidman, 58, has been seen publicly for the first time since filing for divorce from Grammy-winning country singer Keith Urban, 57. On Wednesday, October 1, 2025, she was photographed hiking in Nashville with her sister, Antonia Kidman.

For the outing, Kidman donned oversized sunglasses, a grey melange baseball cap paired with a matching zip-up jacket, and black leggings.

PEOPLE confirmed the couple's separation on September 29, 2025. A source revealed, "Nicole's sister [Antonia] has been a rock and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another."

"She didn't want this," the insider continued. "She has been fighting to save the marriage."
