Tom Cruise Drops Bombshell About Ex-Wife Nicole Kidman As New Romance Surfaces
More than two decades after their highly publicized divorce, Tom Cruise is finally speaking out about his former wife Nicole Kidman — and he’s not holding back the praise.
In a rare interview with Sight and Sound magazine via the British Film Institute, Cruise opened up about working with Kidman on the steamy 1999 psychological thriller Eyes Wide Shut, directed by Stanley Kubrick.
Tom revealed he personally recommended Nicole for the lead role, saying, “She’s a great actress,” a statement that caught fans by surprise given how little he’s spoken about her over the years.
Despite the film’s controversy at the time — due to its provocative scenes and dark themes — both actors received critical acclaim for their performances. However, their real-life marriage came to an end just two years later.
The unexpected praise comes at an interesting time, as rumors swirl around Tom’s possible new flame, Ana de Armas. The Hollywood duo have been spotted multiple times in recent months — most notably touching down in London via private helicopter just before Ana’s birthday.
While neither has confirmed a romance, fans are buzzing online about their growing closeness. Whether it’s friendship or something more, it’s clear Cruise’s personal life is back in the headlines.
And now, with this unexpected nod to Nicole, it seems Tom is finally ready to reflect on the past — even as his future may be heating up.
