Kidman won her first Academy Award for playing Virginia Woolf in The Hours, shortly after finalizing her divorce from Cruise.
'I was struggling with things in my personal life, yet my professional life was going so well,' she revealed to author Dave Karger in his book 50 Oscar Nights, as per People, adding, 'That's what happens, right?'
'I went home and ended up ordering takeout and eating it on the floor of the Beverly Hills Hotel. I sat on the floor of the hotel eating French fries and a burger with my family and went to bed. That's when it hit me. I went, I need to find my love; I need a love in my life. Because this is supposed to be when you go, "This is ours."'
'I went to bed alone; I was in bed before midnight. If I ever won again, I'm telling you, I'd be out for 24 hours,' she stated.
The pair wed in 1990 before their shock split in 2001, which came as a surprise to fans.
Kidman is mother to daughter Isabella, 33, and son Connor, 31, with Cruise.
Connor was adopted by Kidman and the action star not long after he was born in 1995, but the exact timeline remains unclear. Sister Isabella was adopted by the couple three years earlier in 1992.
Kidman and Cruise met in 1990 when the two were cast together in Days of Thunder, a film about motor-racing.

She was 23 at the time and, coming from Australia, was unknown in Hollywood. That all changed when the stars sparked a real-life romance during the filming.
However in 2001 Cruise filed for divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences.'
'I thought our life together was perfect. It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system,' she said in an interview with DuJour Magazine in 2012.
Kidman went on to marry country hitmaker Urban in 2006. During their marriage they welcomed daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15.
The high-profile couple separated in September 2025 after nearly 20 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in January 2026.
Meanwhile Cruise has been married three times. Aside from his union with Kidman, he was also wed to actress Mimi Rogers, 70, from 1987 until 1990, and Dawson's Creek star Katie Holmes, 47, from 2006 until 2012. He shares daughter Suri, 19, with Holmes.
