As expected, Nicole Kidman’s ex-husband Tom Cruise has been closely following reports about her divorce from musician Keith Urban. In the aftermath of Cruise and Kidman’s contentious split, many publicly sided with the actress and portrayed her as the wronged party — a portrayal that did not sit well with Cruise. He seems to view her recent breakup more as a consequence of karma than the result of specific events.
That said, Cruise does express sympathy for Kidman; he has often suggested that Urban was more of a backup than Kidman’s true romantic match. Who her real great love was remains open to conjecture.
It’s worth noting that the split between Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban reportedly came as a deep shock to the actress. The pair tried until the end to repair their marriage, and Kidman appeared to hold out hope for a happy outcome.
