Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban divorced earlier this year. The couple had been married for 19 years, and Kidman stated “marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences” as the reason. Now, another person has weighed in on the divorce: Nicole’s ex-husband, Tom Cruise. Reports suggest he’s made a brutal comment about his ex-wife.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were one of Hollywood’s hottest couples. The actor duo met while making Days of Thunder, and married in 1990. Sadly, in 2001, they divorced, and it wasn’t the prettiest breakup.

Just months after the divorce, Nicole Kidman appeared on Late Night with David Letterman, where she was asked about it.

“I heard you’re getting divorced, how’s that going?” Letterman asked, suggesting Kidman would not have done the talk show if “things were not alright.”

Kidman responded, “I’d probably still be here.” ,

“I get a lot of questions,” she continued before saying with a smirk, “Well, I can wear heels now.” It sparked applause from the audience and laughter from Letterman.

Tom Cruise’s brutal response to ex-wife Nicole Kidman’s divorce
Reports at the time suggested that Kidman left after refusing to convert their children, Conor and Isabella, to Scientology. Tom Cruise went on to have a daughter, Suri, with Katie Holmes, with whom he split in 2012, and, sadly, the father is now estranged from both of them.

But it appears Tom Cruise is still somewhat invested in his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman’s, life. Per the Mirror, when he learned of Nicole’s split from Keith Urban, he said it was “karma” for the way she treated him during their divorce. He was said to have followed the news of the Kidman/Urban split “closely.”

“When Tom and Nicole split, he caught all the blame and she got all the sympathy. He was painted as the bad guy … that stuck with him for years,’ an insider told International Business Times.

“Tom was really stung by the way Nicole handled their break-up. She went on TV, made digs about his height, and painted herself as the victim, while he stayed silent and took the hits.”

“This is karma”
The insider continued, claiming that Cruise felt “proven right” as Nicole split from Keith Urban.

“He’s following the divorce news closely, and a part of him feels badly for her, since he knows how much she’s hurting. 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,” they said. “Bottom line: He thought they were a hyped up couple who clearly had very little in common from the get-go — now he’s been proved right.”
