Nicole Kidman's breakdown of marriage was 'shock to system'
NICOLE KIDMAN says the breakdown of her marriage to Tom Cruise in 2001 “was a shock to my system” because she believed “life together was perfect”.
Nicole, 45, now married to Keith Urban, claims her relationship with Tom, 50, was all-encompassing.
“It took me a very long time to heal,” says Nicole of the end of their 10-year marriage.
“I would have gone to the ends of the earth for him. I was totally smitten – I fell madly, passionately in love.
"We became very dependent on one another.”

But she adds that meeting husband Keith, 45, and having children Sunday Rose, 4, and Faith Margaret, one, marked a huge turning point.
“My life changed,” she tells DuJour magazine of meeting Keith.
“He is a wonderful, caring man. He makes me feel secure. It took me so long to have a child. I feel enormous gratitude. I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my life.”
