Nicoel Kidman on Being "Impulsive and Naive"

Nicole Kidman admits that she has been living in a wedding bliss, almost a fantasy which she thought she had. Today she confesses that it was not always rosy but had many trials and challenges with her marriage to Tom Cruise

Kidman is now 45 years old. She married Tom when she was a young 23 years old in 1990 after meeting him on the set of their film “Days of Thunder.”

“I was totally smitten - I fell madly, passionately in love,” she tells the new issue of DuJour magazine. “I was reeling with Tom. I would have gone to the ends of the Earth for him.”

It is not until later she is able to reflect on how "impulsive and naive” she was in the relationship.

She states that she married "really fast and really young" and had a "fantastic marriage for a long period". Nonetheless she denies any rumors that she counselled Katie Holmes into divorcing Tom.

“We were in a bubble … just the two of us,” she said of their marriage. “We became very dependent on one another.”

Tom and Nicole had adopted two children - Isabella, 19, and Conor, 17 - but divorced in 2001.

Divorce did not come easy for Nicole.

“It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system,” she said of the divorce. “I thought our life together was perfect.”

There two daughters are Sunday Rose, 4, and Faith Margaret, 22 months.

“My life changed,” she tells the magazine of her home life with Urban, 45. “He is a wonderful, caring man, and he makes me feel secure. We don’t ever like to be separated.

“Before, I was running away from life. Now I embrace it. You never know how long you have. So I cherish every minute.”
