Nicole Kidman has spoken about her marriage to Tom Cruise, in a rare interview nearly two decades after they split. The 53-year-old Australian actress has claimed they were "happy" in the months before their marriage came to an end. The Big Little Lies star has opened up about their time filming Stanley Kubrick's film, Eyes Wide Shut, which was released not long before Nicole and Tom time together was over.

The sexually-charged final film they did together was followed by Nicole filing for divorce from Tom, 58, but when reflecting on this time with The New York Times, she has said that there was too much being read into the film at the time. Nicole has said that her character's speech in the film about infidelity and that she was “ready to give up on everything” was actually fictional and not based on any fact about their marriage.
