Kidman
opens up to Oprah...
They
made their fist film together as a couple in Ireland
with the 1992 hit Far and Away. Now she is
promoting a film with songs in the soundtrack from
Bono and Gavin Friday. So it's only
right we tell you about Nicole Kidman and Tom
Cruise's divorce.
Kidman
who is currently promoting the film Moulin Rouge
became agitated and emotional on Oprah Winfrey's
syndicated talk show Friday as she openly discussed
her highly publicised separation from star Tom Cruise,
who filed for divorce in February.
In
an appearance to promote her new film, which includes
songs on the soundtrack from Bono and his bestfriend
Gavin, Kidman quickly became shaken when Winfrey began
asking about the demise of her high-profile Hollywood
marriage.
"I
think that divorce is hard for anyone. It's a nightmare,
it just is, and you can pretend you're fine. And days
you're great [and] days you're not great," the red-haired
star said, fidgeting in her chair.
Kidman
was pregnant earlier this year, and she ultimately
miscarried Cruise's baby following the demise of their
marriage, according to court documents filed by the
actress. In a written response to a divorce petition
filed by Cruise on the grounds of irreconcilable differences,
Kidman said she was stunned when he told her that
he no longer wanted to be married, and allegedly begged
him to stay and seek marriage counseling. He refused
and left for good, according to her response.
The
two had celebrated their 10th anniversary on Dec.
24 of last year by renewing their vows in a romantic
Christmas time ceremony, according to Kidman.
Afterwards,
the couple conceived a baby, according to court papers
filed by the actress. However, Cruise's February divorce
filing said the two had split in December - just before
their anniversary.
Under
California law, after 10 years of marriage, a spouse
is forced to pay alimony until the partner remarries.
Cruise and his attorney have made cryptic comments
to the press stating that Kidman "has always known
exactly why the parties are divorcing."
Neither has provided elaboration. When asked by Winfrey
whether she thought she would always be married, Kidman
timidly replied, "Yeah." The Aussie star seemed nervous
as she spoke, occasionally grabbing Winfrey's hands,
shifting in her chair, sighing, and expressing shock
at the host's probing questions.
When
Winfrey asked whether she hoped to reconcile with
Cruise, Kidman replied, "Shush!" 'Something Really
Bad' Disrupts Charmed Life "I've had a blessed life,"
Kidman said, regaining her composure, and yet, "I've
always thought [if] something bad is going to happen,
something bad is going to happen. But then something
really bad happened. A number of really bad things
happened. You go, 'I'm dealing with it. I'm stronger
than I thought.' Ultimately that's where wisdom comes
from, doesn't it?" she said.
Kidman refused to elaborate, stating, "I'm in a position
where if I start to answer any of this stuff ... we
have two children, 8 and 6, [and] they are the most
important things to us. As a mother my job now is
to protect them ... from any ... scrutiny they are
going to get and in terms of what they're going to
read. All I will say is it's been awful - one of those
things where you just say, 'I cannot believe this
is happening to me,' but I will move forward day by
day," she added.
Kidman
also said that she was overwhelmed by the enormous
amount of support she has received, adding that she
was equally stunned when some people she thought were
her friends turned away: "Surprisingly, some people
I thought would be there have not been. It's hurtful.
And people I would never have thought have been a
life force."
