However, the pair parted ways in 2001 and never looked back. Cruise found Katie Holmes, and Kidman found Keith Urban. The question that arises now is, if so much time has passed, why are they making headlines again?

Nicole Kidman Reminisces Past with Tom Cruise

In recent months, Nicole Kidman has been surprisingly reminiscent of her past relationship withTom Cruise, even though it was rumored that the pair did not end on good terms. During an interview with theLos Angeles Times, the actress talked about her 1999 film with Stanley Kubrick,Eyes Wide Shut.

Here, she revealed that the film was inspired by the events of her marriage with Cruise, with the director asking her a lot of questions about the same. Since the film featured a love triangle and starred both Kidman and her then-husband.

Tom Cruise Is Not Happy

It would seem thatNicole Kidman’srecent comments on her past have rubbed Tom Cruise the wrong way. A source close to the actor recently spoke toInTouch Weeklyabout the same, and the actor was not painted in a positive light. They started by mentioning that Cruise was not happy with how frequently the actress has been bringing up their past.

Tom doesn’t understand why Nicole constantly seems to reference the times they shared together. Even if it is more about the work they did together, it still bothers him because it’s so far in the past and something he’d like to forget.
