Tom Cruise Finally Breaks Silence on Nicole Kidman
Tom Cruise rarely discusses his past with Nicole Kidman — until now. A new interview has reignited interest in their former relationship and stirred online controversy.
Praising Nicole After Decades
In a recent Sight and Sound magazine interview with the British Film Institute, Cruise, now 62, reflected on filming Eyes Wide Shut with Stanley Kubrick. During the conversation, he revealed a surprising fact: he personally recommended Nicole Kidman for the role of Alice.
“When we were getting to know each other, I suggested Nicole play the role,” he said. “She’s obviously a great actress.”
A Look Back: Their Last Major Film Together
The 1999 thriller, Eyes Wide Shut, featured Cruise and Kidman as a troubled couple. It became one of their final projects before their divorce in 2001. While Cruise’s recent comments were complimentary, they sparked intense online reactions.
A High-Profile Marriage and Split
Cruise and Kidman were married for ten years. Their 2001 divorce ended one of Hollywood’s most watched marriages. Both have since moved on.
New Chapters for Both
Kidman found lasting happiness with country star Keith Urban. Their quiet and steady relationship contrasts sharply with Cruise’s next marriage.
Cruise later wed Katie Holmes. However, they divorced in 2012. That split ended another widely publicized relationship.

Cruise and Ana de Armas: A New Romance?
Recently, Cruise has been linked to Spanish actress Ana de Armas. A video captured the two walking together on her birthday, joined by friends. The sighting quickly fueled dating rumors.
Public Reacts to the Possible Pairing
Some fans focused less on the resemblance and more on their chemistry. One fan wrote, “That’s a very attractive couple!”
Cruise’s Signature Style Turns Heads

De Armas Stuns with Understated Elegance
Walking beside Cruise, de Armas wore a long, dark coat, white sneakers, and a simple top. Her soft smile and natural grace turned heads as well.
Romance or Just Rumors?
According to Deuxmoi, the two were seen together two days in a row. While nothing is confirmed, the sightings have fans talking — once again — about Tom Cruise’s evolving love life.
