Nicole Kidman Says Marriage To Tom Cruise Gave Her Protection
Etonline.com: Nicole Kidman is opening up about one aspect of being married to Tom Cruise.
Kidman and Cruise tied the knot in 1990 after meeting on the set of Days of Thunder, but divorced in 2001 after more than a decade together. Though the two rarely speak about their marriage or their two adopted kids together -- 25-year-old Isabella and 23-year-old Connor -- Kidman does acknowledge in the new of issue of New York magazine that being married to a star of Cruise's magnitude gave her a level of protection during her younger years in Hollywood.
"Being married to Tom Cruise at 22 is something I'm always reluctant to talk about, because I'm married now to the man who is my great love [Keith Urban], and it almost feels disrespectful," Kidman notes in an essay for the magazine's October 15-28 issue, which focuses on the theme of women and power. "That said, I got married very young, but it definitely wasn't power for me -- it was protection."
