Nicole Kidman reveals why she is "reluctant" to talk about Tom Cruise

Nicole Kidman explains why she is "reluctant" to talk about her ex-husband, Tom Cruise.

In an interview with New York Magazine For her series Women and Power, the 51-year-old actress revealed why she did not like to talk about their eleven-year marriage.

"I am always reluctant to get married to Tom Cruise at the age of 22 because I am now married to the man who is my big love and it is almost disrespectful, "Kidman said of her husband, Keith Urban.

"That said, I married very young, but it was certainly not a power for me, it was a protection," she continued. "I married for love, but being married to an extremely powerful man allowed me to avoid sexual harassment. I would work, but I was still very cocooned. So when I went out at 32, 33, it's almost like I should grow up. "

In 2006, the Oscar-winning actress married Urban, 50 years old. The couple share two daughters: Sunday Rose, 10, and Faith Margaret, 7. She also has two children with Cruise: her daughter Isabella Jane, 25, and her son Connor, 23.

Kidman said, "Of course, I've been through #MeToo moments – since I was little!"

"But do I want to expose them in an article? No. Do they come out in my work? Absolutely, "said the actress. "I am open and raw. I want my experience and emotions to be exploited, and I'm not just talking about sexual harassment. I speak of loss, of death, of all that is life. "
