Nicole Kidman’s views on marriage have been revealed in a resurfaced interview.
The Australian actress heartbreakingly expressed how she believed that marriage was for life in the new documentary, Nicole Kidman: Outback to Oscars, which is streaming on Tubi.
The footage, shot in 1992 when Kidman was promoting her film, Far And Away, which co-starred her then-husband Tom Cruise, shows New Zealand journalist Paul Holmes ask Kidman about her relationship.
‘You’ve talked about the marriage as the only marriage you’re ever going to have. How do you know that?’ Holmes asked.
Kidman replied: ‘I think if you make that commitment and you say that’s what it’s going to be, and you don’t shy away from making that, then I think that it’s possible.’
Elsewhere in the documentary, which tracks the star’s success from the early days of her career, Kidman said she was lonely in life despite winning the Best Actress Oscar in 2003 for The Hours.

‘That culminated in winning an Oscar and that caused an epiphany which was actually, “This is not the answer,”‘ she said.
‘I was holding a gold statue and I was sitting in the Beverly Hills hotel and it was all extraordinary, and I was the loneliest I’d ever been.’
Cruise, 63, and Kidman, 58, met on the set of their film Days Of Thunder and after a whirlwind romance of less than a year, the pair tied the knot on December 24, 1990.
However, the union came to an abrupt end when Tom ‘walked out’ on Nicole after 12 years of marriage.
It was reported that Nicole had been left in ‘utter shock’ when Cruise filed for divorce, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.
According to reports, the reason for him abandoning her was due to her refusal to join the Church of Scientology.
The couple’s two adopted children – Bella, 33 and Connor, 30 – are believed to have followed their father in joining the church and no longer have any contact with Nicole.

When news of their divorce was made public, one source told People magazine: ‘Nicole’s hurt and feels betrayed. It’s devastating to her. She’s shocked.’
Kidman recently shared how she’s faring after filing for divorce.
The Baby Girl actress interviewed Ariana Grande for Interview magazine, but the conversation started with the 32-year-old pop star asking the veteran actress, ‘How are you?’
Kidman seemed to hint at her emotional state. ‘I’m hanging in there,’ the silver screen siren answered.
Their marriage began to fall apart at the beginning of summer 2025. The split was reportedly a long-term development, stemming from months of quiet separation and diverging paths due to work commitments, according to Daily Mail sources.
The pair met at the G’Day LA gala ball in January 2005.
In a 2013 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Nicole confessed it wasn’t until four months after they met that Urban asked her out.
Kidman and Urban were married in June 2006 and were last seen together this June.
They share two daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14.
