Nicole Kidman, the American-Australian actress, has finally addressed the viral image that was once widely believed to be linked to her separation from Tom Cruise.
The image, often referred to as Nicole’s “post-divorce glow,” shows her walking with her arms raised. The photo was taken in 2001, around the time of her split from Tom Cruise, and was seen by many as a symbol of her relief. However, Nicole has now clarified the true story behind the photo, years after it first went viral.
In an interview with GQ, Nicole Kidman explained that the viral picture was actually a scene from a film, not a real-life moment. “It was from a film, not real life,” she stated, debunking the popular interpretation.
Nicole had previously described her divorce from Tom Cruise as “very painful” and admitted that she was “blindsided” by the split. The couple was married for 11 years before they separated in 2001.
Fans have had varied reactions to Nicole’s revelation, with many sharing their thoughts on Reddit. One user joked, “GIRL, LET US HAVE THIS,” while another shared their plans to “wear a nice outfit and walk out and pull the same pose” after signing their divorce papers.
Other users expressed their surprise at the truth behind the picture. One wrote, “Let the woman keep her NDA money,” while another quipped, “Wishing I was Lea Michele right now, so I could go on without this information.”
A Reddit user added, “And suddenly, all my life has felt like a lie,” reflecting the shock many felt upon hearing Nicole’s explanation.
Nicole Kidman married Tom Cruise in 1990, and the couple divorced after 11 years of marriage in 2001. Before their separation, they had adopted two children, a daughter and a son.
After her divorce, Nicole moved on and later married country singer Keith Urban. The couple now has two daughters together.
