Nicole Kidman: My Marriage To Tom Cruise Protected Me From Harassment

Nicole Kidman was married to Tom Cruise for 11 years and has admitted his status helped to protect her as a young star in Hollywood.

The pair wed in 1990 and split in 2001, after adopting two children together. Nicole is now married to Keith Urban, and said she is usually "reluctant to talk" about her first marriage.


Despite this, the actress told New York magazine: "I got married very young, but it definitely wasn't power for me- it was protection.

"I married for love, but being married to an extremely powerful man kept me from being sexually harassed. I would work, but I was still very much cocooned. So when I came out of it at 32, it's almost like I had to grow up."

Nicole also said her husband Keith is her "great love," and she doesn't like to talk about Tom out of respect.
