Before marrying Urban in 2006, Kidman was married to Cruise for more than a decade. The two met on the set of “Days of Thunder” in 1989, married the following year and adopted two children, Isabella and Connor, before splitting in 2001.
The interview clip has resurfaced online following news that Kidman and Urban have called it quits after 19 years of marriage.
On Sept. 30, Kidman filed for divorce from Urban. She cited “irreconcilable differences” and ongoing “marital difficulties,” according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
Kidman listed Sept. 30 as the couple’s date of separation.
In the filing, the “Big Little Lies” star asked to be named the primary residential parent of the couple’s two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

Kidman listed Sept. 30 as the couple’s date of separation.
In his first concert after Kidman filed for divorce, the country superstar took the stage in Hershey, Pennsylvania Oct. 2 with a show full of surprises, one being the absence of Maggie Baugh, a guitarist for Urban who has been thrust into the narrative of his split from Kidman.
The guitarist has recently been in the spotlight after a video began circulating that shows Urban changing a lyric in his song “The Fighter,” originally written for Kidman, to name Baugh during a September concert.
Maggie Baugh, seen playing with Keith Urban here, has been getting attention for her on-stage interactions with the country star.
It has been noted that Urban often changes these particular lyrics. “The Fighter” was originally recorded as a duet with Carrie Underwood, and when the two performed the song at the 2017 CMT Music Awards, he sang her name instead of “baby.”
At the Oct. 2 show, Us Weekly reported, Urban dropped the song altogether.
One notable moment in the country singer’s performance came when Urban strummed through his 2024 track, “Heart Like a Hometown.” During that performance, a slideshow of photos appeared, and despite the divorce news, a photo of Kidman and their two children was featured.
