Jakarta – Tom Cruise reportedly โreactedโข with a sense of vindication to the recent divorce of his ex-wife, nicole โคKidman, and country music star Keith Urban, sources close to the actor reveal. The split, finalized after 16โข yearsโ of marriage, has stirred up past sentiments for Cruise regarding publicโฃ perception ofโ hisโ own โฃdivorce from Kidman between 1990โ and 2001.
The actor, according to insiders, โขlong believedโ his narrative was unfairly skewed following โฃhisโ separation from Kidman. “He was considered a bad person and that stuck with him for years,” a source told the International Business Times, as reported โขby โ The News on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. The source โฃadded that Cruise felt hurt by Kidman’s portrayal of their split in media appearances, specifically referencing comments โabout his height andโข her positioning as the victim.
Now, with Kidman’s marriage to Urban dissolving, Cruise isโ said โtoโ feel a degree of โคvalidation. “He was annoyed when Keith was portrayed as a hero โฃon a white horse who saved nicoleโค from the bad memories of their marriage,” another sourceโค stated. While acknowledging Kidman’s likely sadness, the source claims Cruise privately allowed himself a โคmoment of satisfaction, suggesting a sense of karmic retribution.
Longstanding โskepticism about the longevity of Kidmanโค and Urban’s relationship reportedly โfueled Cruise’s reaction. “Tom felt theyโข were anโ overlyโ hyped couple, even though from the start it was clear they had very little in common, andโ now he’s been proven right,” โthe โsource explained.
Notably, Keith โUrban remained absent from social media for โขtwo months following theโข public declaration of the separation. The divorce marks a notable chapter closure forโฃ both โฃKidman and Urban, and re-ignites scrutiny โขof past relationships and public narratives surrounding Hollywood’s elite.
