It seems that Tom Cruise‘s ex-wives are holding on to the biggest secret in Hollywood. According to a report that surfaced, Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman do not have the relationship that the media imagines.
They are not going at it behind the scenes. Via OK! Magazine, it was revealed that the two hugely talented actresses are friends, and even better, they are strong allies because of their past romances with Tom Cruise and the complex situations that they faced by going against The Church of Scientology.
The person in the know told the media outlet that, via their marriages to Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman have had experiences that not many people can understand and support.
The Oscar-winning actress understood the scrutiny and headaches that came with her decision to divorce Tom Cruise, and she was able to be a shoulder for Katie Holmes when she had her back against the wall during her split from the megastar.
The source revealed to the media outlet: “They shared a unique experience. Nicole knew firsthand how difficult it was to walk away from Tom and the stress that comes with being married to such a huge star… ”
Through the life-changing experience of her first divorce, Katie Holmes was reassured by Nicole Kidman.
The person shared: “She would tell her that everything was going to be OK and congratulate her on taking such a brave step.”
Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman also bonded over their rejection of The Church of Scientology.
Nicole Kidman, who is a Catholic, never accepted Scientology and for a brief period, she convinced Cruise to leave the controversial religion.
As for Katie Holmes, one of the main reasons for divorcing Tom Cruise was the fact that she did not want her only daughter, Suri Cruise, to be raised in the religion.
The insider stated: “Nicole finally felt free to say her piece. She grew a lot in the years since her split from Tom and was no longer afraid of being silenced by the church.”
The person familiar with the situation also claimed: “They may not hang out together,” they added. “But they have each other’s backs.”
Kidman and Cruise got married on Christmas Eve in 1990 in Telluride, Colorado. The former “It” couple did many films together and adopted two children, Isabella and Connor. They divorced in 2001.
Cruise and Holmes welcomed their daughter in 2006 and were married in Italy that same year. Holmes filed for divorce from Cruise in 2012.
