Hollywood may be reeling from Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s shocking split. However, there is one person who reportedly isn’t exactly heartbroken about it. According to insiders, Tom Cruise is sitting back and watching the drama unfold with a knowing grin. The “Mission: Impossible” star isn’t gloating outright. But those close to him say he’s feeling a little too satisfied for it to be pure sympathy.
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s marriage might be ancient Hollywood history, but the emotions tied to their split apparently never fully faded. Sources say Tom still remembers the media backlash and how he was painted as the villain when their relationship ended back in 2001. So now that Nicole’s so-called “fairy tale” marriage to Keith Urban has come crashing down, Cruise is reportedly allowing himself a quiet “told you so” moment, according to National Enquirer insiders.
“He’s also allowing himself a little pat on the back and telling people close to him that this is karma doing its thing to a large degree,” the source states. “Bottom line: He thought they were a hyped up couple who clearly had very little in common from the get-go, now he’s been proved right.”
While the actor and Kidman have repaired their relationship in recent years, he allegedly can’t help but view her current heartbreak through the lens of karma. After all, when he and Nicole divorced, the narrative was that she’d been “rescued” by her country crooner prince. That storyline reportedly never sat well with Tom, who didn’t think much of Urban’s “white knight” reputation.
Smug Satisfaction With a Dash of Sympathy
Despite the smugness, there’s a hint of empathy too. Cruise, who’s been through his fair share of public heartbreak, understands how brutal the spotlight can be during a breakup. Still, sources claim he feels a certain vindication seeing the once “perfect” couple unravel after years of being praised as the real deal.
Tom, now 63, and Nicole, 58, were married for 11 years before their 2001 divorce. She met Keith in 2005, tied the knot in 2006. The two spent nearly two decades trying to keep their marriage out of the tabloids. But as of late September, that attempt has failed. Nicole officially filed for divorce on September 30, shocking fans and fellow stars alike.
If there’s one thing Hollywood never forgets, it’s irony. And this one’s practically cinematic. Tom Cruise, who once endured endless scrutiny for his split from Nicole. However, now finds himself on the opposite side of the gossip wheel. He’s reportedly keeping tabs on her divorce. So in true Cruise fashion, he might just see it as the universe balancing the scales.
Whether it’s poetic justice or pure coincidence, Tom Cruise is said to be getting the last laugh. Nicole Kidman’s heartbreak has reopened old Hollywood wounds. It reminds everyone that karma never misses its cue. In a town built on drama, it seems even the past has a funny way of clapping back.
