Comments made by Nicole Kidman criticizing her divorce from Tom Cruise are being discussed again now that she’s unexpectedly separated from Keith Urban.
The actress, who is 58 years old, had been married to and divorced from Cruise before she found love with Urban – a relationship that ultimately ended in heartbreak.
Last month, Kidman and the country singer, 57, announced their split after 19 years of marriage.
A video that recently reappeared, showing footage from her first divorce, is now prompting fans to notice parallels between her breakup with Urban and her 2001 divorce from Cruise.
The 5′ 11″ actress famously joked about her divorce from her 5′ 7″ ex-husband, saying she could now ‘wear heels’ again. This comment came just months after they announced their separation in February 2001.
They had just celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary at the time.
Nicole Kidman is well-known for a memorable, six-word statement she made about her divorce during an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in August 2001.
When questioned about her breakup with Cruise earlier in the year, she responded with a playful smile: ‘Well, I can wear heels now.’
Right at the beginning of the interview, Letterman asked her: ‘I heard you’re getting divorced. How’s that going?‘
He also implied that she wouldn’t have appeared on his show if their relationship hadn’t been good.
She responded by explaining her commitment to her work, telling him, ‘I’d probably still be here.’
Then, he asked if she had been receiving a lot of questions in the wake of her divorce.
“Yes, I receive many questions,” she stated, then smirked and delivered her famous line about finally being able to wear heels.
Oh my gosh, she was *amazing*! She had the whole talk show – the host, *everyone* – just cracking up and cheering! And then, after she totally killed it, she just said, with the most perfect little smile, ‘Let’s move on. Now we move on.‘ I swear, even that simple line sent shivers down my spine! It was like, perfection! I’ve replayed that moment like a million times.
Throughout the rest of the interview, they bantered back and forth.
At one moment during the conversation, Kidman repeated: ‘Things are fine. It’s fine.‘ She then turned the tables and inquired about Letterman’s previous divorce.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have been married since 2006 and share two daughters. They filed for divorce in September of this year.
After their split, despite surprising reports claiming he’s already dating someone new, she appeared cheerful when she was seen in public for the first time.
People are revisiting her previous statements on divorce following the surprising news that she and Keith Urban have separated after twenty years of marriage.
According to a recent report in People magazine, Nicole Kidman has been finding support from her family as she navigates a challenging period.
The insider also said she had been fighting to save their marriage before the eventual collapse.
‘She didn’t want this,’ the source told the outlet. ‘She has been fighting to save the marriage.’
The actress, known for her role in Babygirl, submitted divorce papers on September 30th in Nashville. She and her spouse have been residents of the city since 2007.
As a longtime follower, it was sad to read the details. Apparently, Nicole Kidman and her husband listed the date they filed for divorce as the official date of their separation. The reason given was simply irreconcilable differences – which, sadly, seems to be a common thing. It’s always tough to see when a relationship ends, even from afar.

The Australian celebrities first got married in June 2006, having a traditional Catholic wedding at the Cardinal Cerretti Chapel in Sydney.
The former couple share two teenage daughters — Sunday Rose, 17, and 14-year-old Faith Margaret.
Nicole Kidman is also a mother to her daughter, Bella, age 32, and her son, Connor, age 30, both from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.
