Former couple Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise narrowly avoided crossing paths at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Kidman, 57, attended the 2024 Olympics in Paris to watch the Women's Gymnastics team final with her husband Keith Urban and daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith. She shared the arena with celebrities like Serena Williams and Natalie Portman.
For Kidman, it was a rare attendance at the same event as her former husband Cruise. Cruise watched Simone Biles perform at the women's artistic gymnastics qualification round on July 28, while Kidman attended the Artistic Gymnastics Women's Team Final on July 30. Cruise reportedly skipped events like the 2023 Oscars to avoid Kidman, as the former couple often tries to avoid encounters at high-profile events.
Cruise and Kidman, who divorced in 2001 after meeting on a movie set, have reportedly made attempts to avoid contact with each other since their split, often steering clear of the same events. Their divorce was attributed to Cruise's involvement with Scientology, irreconcilable differences, and Kidman's young age at the time of marriage.
During the filming of 'Eyes Wide Shut' in 1999, director Stanley Kubrick took inspiration from the couple's relationship dynamics. Kidman said Kubrick was interested in mining their marriage for ideas.
Kidman expressed fear that Cruise may have involved their son in Scientology. She also spoke publicly about working with Cruise and their children.
Kidman will be back to work at the Venice Film Festival for the movie "Babygirl," where she plays an executive having an affair with her younger intern. It is speculated whether Nicole will be accompanied by her family on the "Babygirl" red carpet in Venice.
