Nicole Kidman has clarified that she is not linked to the viral 2001 image associated with her divorce from Tom Cruise. In an interview with British GQ for their Men of the Year feature, Kidman clarified that the photo showing her with arms raised in apparent celebration was not a post-divorce moment. "That was from a film. That wasn't real life," the Oscar winner, now 57, explained, refuting the claim that the image was taken after leaving her lawyer's office.
The photo gained attention in 2021 when it became a popular meme on social media. Many associated it with Kidman's high-profile split from Cruise, symbolizing relief and freedom. The couple married in 1990 and adopted two children—Isabella and Connor—before separating in 2001. While Cruise later married Katie Holmes, Kidman found lasting love with country singer Keith Urban, whom she wed in 2006. They share two daughters, Sunday, 16, and Faith, 13.
This isn't the first time Kidman has addressed internet virality. In the same British GQ interview, she explained the story behind her unusual clapping at the 2017 Academy Awards. "I had a massive, heavy borrowed ring on and was scared of damaging it," she said. The actress took it all in stride, acknowledging that viral moments often stem from misunderstood contexts.
Kidman has maintained a steady presence in Hollywood and reflects life's challenges. During the interview, she shared insights into her personal growth, highlighting how loss, parenting, and marriage have shaped her.
