Nicole Kidman's Iconic 'Heels' Comment Resurfaces Amid Keith Urban Split

NICOLE KIDMAN'S DIVORCE SHOCKER: FROM CRUISE TO URBAN, IS SHE A SERIAL HUSBAND-LEAVING QUEEN?

In a bombshell revelation that's got everyone talking, Nicole Kidman's infamous comments about her divorce from Tom Cruise have resurfaced in the wake of her stunning split from Keith Urban. The 58-year-old Oscar-winning actress has been married not once, but twice, and it seems like she's developed a knack for leaving husbands high and dry.

Kidman's first marriage to the Mission Impossible star ended in a messy divorce in 2001, just months after their 10th wedding anniversary celebration. And if you thought that was bad, wait until you hear about her latest heartbreaker - country singer Keith Urban. The couple announced their split last month after 19 years of marriage, leaving fans and friends reeling.

But here's the kicker: Kidman's comments from her first divorce have been digging up again, and let's just say they're eerily similar to her current situation with Urban. In a cheeky interview with David Letterman on The Late Show back in August 2001, Kidman made a sassy six-word statement that's now being cited as foreshadowing: "Well, I can wear heels now."

When asked about her split from Cruise, Kidman was characteristically diplomatic, saying, "Things are fine. It's fine." But then she dropped the mic with her iconic quip, leaving Letterman and the audience in stitches.

Fast forward to 2022, and it seems like history is repeating itself. Kidman and Urban announced their split last month after two decades together, sparking rumors that he may have already moved on. But sources close to the actress claim she's been fighting tooth and nail to save their marriage - a desperate attempt to salvage what was once a loving relationship.

"Nicole didn't want this," a source told People, speaking anonymously about the split. "She has been fighting to save the marriage."

The Aussie star listed her date of separation as the same day she filed for divorce on September 30 in Nashville, where the couple had lived since 2007. The reason? Irreconcilable differences, or so it seems.

As Kidman navigates this latest heartbreak, fans can't help but wonder: is she a serial husband-leaver? One thing's for sure - her comments from her first divorce have been resurrected just in time to fuel the rumors about her split from Urban. With two teenage daughters and a slew of friends who are rallying around her, Kidman is certainly taking this latest heartbreak in stride.
