Nicole Kidman’s, 58, scathing remarks about divorcing Tom Cruise, 57, have resurfaced and gone viral amid her shocking split from Keith Urban; Seen with Cruise in a throwback snap

Nicole Kidman’s scathing remarks about divorcing Tom Cruise have resurfaced amid her shocking split from Keith Urban.

The actress, 58, was previously married and divorced from Cruise before going on to find love — and eventually heartbreak with Urban.

Last month, Kidman and the country singer, 57, announced their split after 19 years of marriage.

And a recently resurfaced video from her first divorce now has fans pointing out the similarities between her split from Urban and her 2001 one from Cruise.

The 5′ 11″ actress made her famous comment about her divorce from her 5′ 7″ ex and how she was able to ‘wear heels’ now, just months after her and her then-husband announced their split in February 2001.

They had just celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary at the time.

Kidman famously said an iconic, six-word sentence about her divorce while talking to David Letterman on The Late Show back in August 2001.

When asked about her split from Cruise earlier that year, she said with a smirk: ‘Well, I can wear heels now.’

At the start of the interview, Letterman had asked her: ‘I heard you’re getting divorced. How’s that going?’

He also suggested that she would not have agreed to go on his talk show if ‘things were not alright.’

In response, she revealed her dedication to her career and craft as she told him: ‘I’d probably still be here.’

Then, he asked if she had been receiving a lot of questions in the wake of her divorce.

‘Yeah, I get a lot of questions,’ she said before smirking and making her iconic ‘I can wear heels now’ comment.

After making the talk show host and the audience laugh and cheer, she added: ‘Let’s move on. Now we move on.’

Throughout the rest of the interview, they bantered back and forth.

At one point, Kidman said again: ‘Things are fine. It’s fine.’ She later asked Letterman about his own, past divorce.

Kidman and Urban were married since 2006 and welcomed two daughters together before they filed for divorce in September this year.

Following their separation, in spite of shocking rumors that he has allegedly already moved on, she seemed to be in high spirits as she was spotted for the very first time while out and about.

Renewed interest in her past remarks about divorce come after it was revealed that she and Urban had shockingly split after two decades together.

A source recently told People that Kidman has been leaning on her family during this difficult time.

The insider also said she had been fighting to save their marriage before the eventual collapse.

‘She didn’t want this,’ the source told the outlet. ‘She has been fighting to save the marriage.’

Kidman listed their date of separation as the date of filing, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their separation.

The Aussie stars previously tied the knot in June of 2006 during a traditional Catholic ceremony at the Cardinal Cerretti Chapel in Sydney.

The former couple share two teenage daughters — Sunday Rose, 17, and 14-year-old Faith Margaret.

Kidman is also a mother to daughter Bella, 32, and son Connor, 30, from her first marriage to Cruise.
