Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman was married to Golden Globe winner Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001. The 51-year-old actress has now finally revealed why she stopped talking about her Scientologist ex-husband. In an interview with Observer Magazine, the Australian star said that the decision to stop talking about him was made out of "respect" for her current husband, 51-year-old Keith Urban.

While she was out promoting her new film 'Boy Erased', Kidman was asked by an interviewer about any similarities in her relationships with the singer, Urban, and the film star, Cruise. She explained that it was her personal choice to stop talking about the 'Top Gun' actor because, to put it simply, that time in her life is long gone.
