Nicole Kidman is featured on the November 2008 cover of Elle Magazine and she opens up about her time with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
On her time with Tom Cruise: “That was an extraordinary thing for me. He taught me an enormous amount – as a girl into a woman. Absolutely I would do it again.”
On her’s and Tom’s new relationships: “I didn’t foresee it, that you can meet somebody who you have a deep and more profound love with. I don’t mean to take away anything with Tom, but I would hope that he has the same thing,” Kidman said. I know he has the same thing with Katie.”
Nicole also told the magazine, that she is a “lioness” when it come to her and Keith Urban’s baby girl Sunday Rose.

I dont think Nicole should be comparing her relationship with Tom to her present one in anyway…I hope Tom doesnt respond to such trite remarks.
I have never been a fan of Nicoles and never will be, so I am not objective.
I don’t either Kelly but Ms. Kidman has spoken about Tom in magazine after magazine interview she has given since 2001………….Not even a new marriage and baby can stop her.
I agree that she shouldn’t compare relationships. Funny though, I didn’t hear Mary complain when TT said he loved Katie more than he loved Nicole. Double standards, Mary?
I believe they fell out of love long before their marriage collapsed. Just because the divorce hit her hard doesn’t mean she was in love with TT, and he no doubt knew it. Divorce is devastating even for people in miserable relationships.
For the record, I can’t imagine any parent here, if asked if they would marry their kids’ father again, would say no. You can’t negate that bond just because Tomkat fans want you to
Most people don’t talk about their ex, I can understand once or twice but not in every single interview for the past 7yrs and its true not even a new husband and baby can stop her, but why? If their love is so profound , why doesn’t she concentrate on KU, instead of talking about her life with her ex husband , and saying things like ,Tom ” took a girl and made a woman out of me” this is heavy stuff, and it must be uncomfortable for Keith and Katie as far as I’m concerned, but at the same time NK is smart , because people have always felt that she was the innocent in the ending of her marriage to TC, so she’s still playing it. Truly I would hate to be Katie, being with someone who has been married twice before, and has so much ”past” behind him anyway, and having an ex wife who continuosly comes out about their life together, I think its horrible, no wonder she’s so thin, I don’t believe that things like this just go over Katies head, as a young wife I don’t think you can actually ignore it.
Tyler, in her own words, she said she was in love with him even after two years of divorce and even admitted that if it were upto her she would still be married to him.
Tom said he loved Katie more and Nicole said she loves Keith more, I hope we can now leave it a that.
Nicole knows that talking about TC will give her more hits and give her story more coverage. That is what this industry is all about.
In interviews since he split from Nicole, Tom has talked about how whoever the current woman is in his life is the greatest love of his life. That always seemed like a slap in Nicole’s face if you ask me. He said the same thing recently to Oprah that what he has with Katie is better than any relationship he’s had before. So maybe Nicole feels that she can say what she has with Keith is better.
Can’t stand this woman at all. and she looks like a ghost all the time.Tom is better off with KH
Katie should not say publicly what Nicole’s kids call her either. Most women don’t want to hear that some other woman is bragging that your kids call her mom. The kids lives used to be private before Katie came along.
Nicole’s a straight shooter. I’ve heard her speak directly on many many topics, not just Tom. Based on recent comments, it must be obvious even to Tom’s worshippers that she wasn’t really in love with him. She was in love with his image, just as Katie is.
Lauren, my comments were only directed toward Mary’s double standards. I know there bias, but someone who I believe wholeheartedly to be a professional PR person working for the Cruises should be more careful about criticizing Tom’s ex-wife.
About Nicole bringing up TC, comparing etc. I would say a large amount of it would stem from journalists who keep asking probing questions.
Nicole was married to Tom for 10yrs of course she is going to mention him in interviews and from what she said he wanted the divorce and it devastated her. He will always be a important part of her life! I feel sorry for Katie because that would be kind of weird for your husbands ex-wife to talk about your husband in intimate ways to for the public to read about. Nicole should be more conscience of what she says about her relationship with Tom in the past.
I did’nt really mean to emphasize his 2 previous marriages ,what I meant to say was, he had a long history with NK, and its not always easy to deal with people pasts sometimes, let alone being reminded of it.
Tyler: I am not a PR person working for the Cruise’s or anyone else but if you want to believe that I am then continue to do so.
I am a Cruise fan absolutely but I’ve also said that being a fan does not in anyway suggest that I agree with everything he says or does…………being a fan is not that.
As for Ms. Kidman, I didn’t criticize her. I said she speaks about TC in every magazine interview going back since their divorce in 2001. In my opinion it’s too much and she should stop.
It’s been seven years since the divorce and two
plus years since she has remarried……….Surely even you can agree that TC should be mentioned less and less or not at all now in her interviews.
I find many of her statements contradictary and if she is being pressed for info on her marriage to TC she does have the ability to say the subject is off limits.
I do not think Nicole is pretty at all. The interviewer should not be asking questions about Tom because he/she is just asking for things to be started and she should have enough respect for Keith and Katie to not comment on past relationships. What a loser.
Kidman looks amazing in this photo! I think she is stunning, and actually love how pale her skin is.
The pics are lovely……….No argument there.
The interview is another story.
My personal opinion is that Nicole was destined to meet Keith Urban and that Tom was destined to meet Katie. It doesn’t mean that either were less of a person, they both have the same carrisma. (sorry If I spelled that incorrectly)
I think the best of all of them.
I love the fact that she is so protective with Sunday. You won’t be seeing this baby’s faced splashed all over Vanity Fair covers. Nicole did an excellent job of keeping her other two children out of the spot light when they were little. This says a lot of her as a mother!
I really do not think that we can comment on how good or bad somebody is as parent from what we get to see or not see in the media.
I do not have anything againts Nicole Kidman, I think she’s a fine actress but I think she has 0 charisma, she doesn’t inspire any feeling to me.
I really think that she did a pretty good job at the damage control after the divorce, I really do think that Mr Cruise was not the evil on this story. He is a determined man and he decided to end it on his terms, but from the information I have there was somehting previous to his decision related to NK.
I am sorry but I really see Katie as a more human person, sweet, shy and very down to earth. She seems like a nurturer. She’s a real person.
Suri seems to be the only celeb baby, that when she is not seen for a while, eveyone asks where she is, and her days of not being seen in public are monitered by the media, eg , I don’t know how many times I’ve read, ”I’TS BEEN 55 DAYS SINCE WE LAST SAW SURI or 20 or whatever but they seem to able to do this in LA, but when the paps are stationed outside you apartment building24/7 and you’re followed everywhere, it might be a bit hard to keep her out of the public spotlight, then she gets left with the nanny more than her mother and I can’t see KH doing that. NK and TC travelled the world, between them they made a lot of movies, they must have gone to NYC and they lived in Britain for 2 years, while they made EYES WIDE SHUT, there are not many pics of their children around at all, so maybe the paps were not as agressive as they are today,or they spent a lot of time with the nanny . Lioness is a big word, she’s not like that where her kids are concerned, there are too many movies and too many pics around that show her to be anything but a lioness, she is a brilliant actress, you can’t take that away from her ,but she is a woman who spends a huge amount of time doing what she loves the most , making movies, and no matter what she says there is too much contradictory evidence out there that proves otherwise.
Good point Annie,
I want to add that even though we don’t see Shiloh and the twins, no one starts counting days. Yet they are very news worthy and their pictures should garner a lot of hits.
Secondly, Tom was also married to Nicole for 10 or so years but evenwhen asked, he does not go on and on about her. Nicole knows that if she did talk about TC her interviews would not get as much air time and that is a fact.
Tyler, you think Mary is working for the Cruises? Are we a bit paranoid here??? Strange thing to say! Anyway, Nicole is obviously still not over Tom; she never will be either! Poor Katie to have to put up with Nicole going on and on about her ex-husband! Tyler, you must think I’m Katie and Suri’s PR person too because I’m always sticking up for them.
Nicole is a stunning beautiful woman. She looks amazing in photos and on the big screen, and talk about talent! Wow. I feel bad for her and all the negative press she gets. It doesn’t really seem fair most of the time.
