Nicole Kidman’s Early Career
Kidman’s first love was ballet, but she eventually took up mime and drama as well. Interestingly, her first stage role was a bleating sheep in an elementary school Christmas pageant.
However, in her adolescent years, acting edged out the other arts and became a kind of refuge. Kidman worked regularly at the Philip Street Theatre, and by the age of 16, she dropped out of high school to pursue acting fully. The decision paid off as she landed her first role in the Australian holiday favorite Bush Christmas, that same year.
Kidman impressed fans and critics with her first appearance and got a lot of offers from film and TV producers. She landed her first lead role in 1983 in the movie BMX Bandits.
Kidman put a pause on her acting career in 1984 after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. During that time, she studied massage so she could help her mother with physical therapy.
She won her first Australian Film Institute Award for her role in the miniseries Vietnam in 1987.
Nicole Kidman broke into Hollywood in 1989 with a role in Dead Calm. Kidman’s next casting coup scored her more than exposure. While starring as Tom Cruise’s doctor/love interest in the racetrack romance Days of Thunder in 1990, the two got together and fell in love.
Nicole Kidman Relationship Wiki
Kidman revealed in an interview that it was ‘lust at first sight when she met Tom Cruise in 1990. The actor was married to actress Mimi Rogers but he soon divorced her; and after a whirlwind two-month courtship, married Kidman in a private Christmas Eve ceremony in Telluride, Colorado. Their marriage came just 10 months after Cruise’s divorce.
The duo went on to work together on the 1992 film Far and Away along with the 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut.
Kidman revealed that she suffered from an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage early into their marriage.
She was told by doctors that it will be hard for her to conceive, so, the couple decided to adopt their kids. They adopted their daughter Isabella Jane in 1992 and their son Connor in 1994.
In February 2001, Cruise filed for divorce. Allegedly, Cruise blindsided Kidman with the move and didn’t give her any warning. Kidman also revealed that Cruise wouldn’t consider marriage counseling to resolve any issue they had.
As to why they split, speculation has it that it included everything from religious differences to conflicting views on how to raise their two adopted children, Isabella and Connor. Cruise’s publicists later came out to blame the split on the pressure of their work industry.
Irrespective of the amicable nature of the split, the actress wouldn’t have been pleased Cruise got custody of their two children; who sided with their father during the divorce.
2003 – 2007
In 2003, Kidman in an interview with Vanity Fair revealed that she was dating a mystery man. In September of that year, she confirmed that she was in a relationship with Lenny Kravitz. The relationship didn’t last long with the two splittings over allegations of Kravitz’s infidelity.
The popular singer-songwriter, Robbie Williams, in 2004 claimed to have had a romantic relationship with the actress on her yacht, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet.
From 2004 to 2005 Kidman dated film director and producer Steve Bing. The couple kept their romance on the down-low at first before proceeding to have a handful of public dates where they were photographed kissing on more than one occasion.

Keith Urban
One year after meeting Urban, the two got married Urban on 25 June 2006. The marriage held at Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on the grounds of St Patrick’s Estate, Manly in Sydney.
In a surprise confession, Kidman admitted that they barely knew each other when they got married. Maybe that’s what makes their marriage unique, accepting each other for who they are.
Talking about flaws, Urban, a few months after their marriage, had to enter a rehabilitation facility to receive treatment for his problems with alcohol. Kidman supported her husband and this has become the hallmark of their relationship- supporting each other in every situation.
