Tom Cruise Reportedly Thinks Nicole Kidman’s Divorce Is ‘Karma’ For How He Was ‘Villainized’ During Their Split—He Took ‘So Much Grief’ From Her

Hell hath no fury like… an ex scorned? Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have just announced their split, with Kidman filing for divorce just days ago. But there are already reports about what her ex, before Urban, Tom Cruise, feels about it. It is, perhaps, nothing to be surprised about, considering how much media coverage and interest there was about Kidman and Cruise’s divorce, back in the day.

Kidman and Cruise, who share two kids, Bella, 32, and Connon, 30, have reportedly not spoken in over two decades. And it seems Cruise is telling friends that Kidman’s divorce from Urban, who she was married to for 19 years, feels a little bit like “karma.”

HeatWorld UK reported from an insider that “Tom took so much grief from Nicole and her Hollywood cronies when they first divorced, he’ll never forget or forgive how villainised he was and in some ways that far reaching perception haunts him to this day.”

The source added, “He’s following the divorce news closely and a part of him feels badly for her, since he knows how much she’s hurting. But at the same time he’s also allowing himself a little pat on the back and telling people close to him that this is karma doing its thing to a large degree.”

Reportedly, “Tom didn’t have a high opinion about Keith, so it annoyed him when this guy was painted as this saintly figure who’d swooped in on a white horse, so to speak, and rescued Nicole from the hellish memory of their marriage.” However, the source also indicates Cruise has reached out to Kidman to offer her support amid the divorce.

Kidman spoke about her split with Cruise in 2012, telling DuJour magazine, “I thought our life together was perfect. It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system. We were in a bubble, just the two of us. We became very dependent on one another. I was reeling with Tom. I would have gone to the ends of the earth for him…. I was totally smitten – I fell madly, passionately in love.”

After her divorce from Cruise, Kidman and Keith Urban got married in 2006. The couple has two children together, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. The actress filed for divorce on Tuesday, Sept. 30, in Nashville, where the couple has lived together since 2007. She listed irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

Rumors indicate it was not Kidman’s choice to separate. “The rumor is that he’s with a younger woman in the business,” a “Nashville music industry source told Daily Mail. “It’s all everyone is talking about. Everyone wants to know who, but so far, that’s a mystery.”

This is reportedly why Kidman went ahead and filed for divorce. Rob Shuter’s ShuterScoop reported that Kidman wanted to work on the marriage, but Urban didn’t. “Nicole wanted to fight for them, but Keith had already checked out—and she knew why. It wasn’t about distance, schedules, or bad habits. It was about another woman. And Nicole knows who she is.” Another insider added, “She’s not naïve. She heard the stories; she saw the signs. At some point, the truth becomes impossible to ignore. She’s not going to live as anyone’s second choice.”

And considering how both of her divorces went, it’s likely Kidman doesn’t much care about what any of her exes think about her. She’s going to continue doing her thing and excelling at it.
