A brutal comment Nicole Kidman made about ex-husband Tom Cruise resurfaces following news of her divorce from Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage. The remark adds fuel to the drama.
Amid the news of Nicole Kidman’s divorce from Keith Urban, a brutal comment she made about her ex-husband, Tom Cruise, has resurfaced, igniting discussions online. The Oscar-winning actress filed for divorce from the country star on September 30, citing “irreconcilable differences” after 19 years of marriage. This news comes just days after it was reported that Urban had been living away from their family home in Nashville, Tennessee.
Divorce and Speculation About Their Relationship
While sources claim that Kidman, 58, was trying to salvage her marriage to Urban, 57, rumors suggest that the couple had been living apart since the beginning of summer. Further speculation was fueled after fans noticed a change in lyrics during one of Urban’s recent concerts. The country singer performed his 2017 song “The Fighter”, originally inspired by Kidman, but instead of singing the lyric, “when they’re tryna get to you, baby I’ll be the fighter,” he changed it to “when they’re tryna get to you, Maggie I’ll be your guitar player.”
Maggie Baugh, Urban’s 25-year-old guitarist, posted the moment on Instagram, asking, “Did he just say that?” The alteration added fuel to the fire, sparking speculation about their relationship.

The comment, aimed at Cruise’s height, which is believed to be around 5’7″, sent the audience into fits of laughter. Kidman quickly moved on from the remark, saying, “Let’s move on. Now we move on.” The moment became one of the most memorable and talked-about interviews of her career.

Kidman’s Family with Keith Urban
Now, Kidman is navigating her divorce from Urban, with whom she shares two daughters: Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14). While dealing with the end of her marriage, Kidman is said to be leaning on Naomi Watts, her best friend and a fellow actress who went through a high-profile divorce from Liev Schreiber in 2016.
A source close to Kidman revealed to Daily Mail that Kidman has been reaching out to Watts for support during this challenging time. “Nic has been calling Naomi a ton… there has been a lot of advice flowing, and Nic listens because Naomi has been through it herself,” the source said.
