In an interview promoting her new film, Nicole Kidman shared that she once felt extremely lonely right after receiving the Oscar statuette in 2003, although this was one of the biggest milestones in her career. When returning home after the awards ceremony, the actress realized she did not have a life partner to share the joy.
Nicole Kidman won Best Actress for the role of Virginia Woolf in "The Hours". The victory helped her reach the peak of her career, but her personal life at that time was not as desired. The "Australian Swan" and actor Tom Cruise broke up about two years before she received the award.
Looking back at the awards night, Nicole Kidman said that she had her parents by her side but still felt like she lacked a companion. What she wanted at that time was not a party or public attention, but having a close person to share a special moment with.
The contrast between success and private life made the 2003 Oscar night a memorable and emotional memory for Nicole Kidman. On the one hand, she was grateful to touch the prestigious award of the film industry. On the other hand, the actress realized that the feeling of loneliness cannot be filled by professional success.
Nicole Kidman once admitted that winning the Oscar made her think more about her personal life. After the awards ceremony, she attended Vanity Fair but did not really enjoy it. The actress originally did not like crowded parties and once wanted to skip this event.
Having to appear in front of a crowd with an Oscar statuette in hand also made Nicole Kidman uncomfortable. She felt that action was like showing off achievements and worried that she was not humble.
At the party, the actress was overwhelmed by emotions, both emotional and trembling and almost unable to enjoy the victory.
Many years later, Nicole Kidman looked back and said that she was too harsh on herself at a time that should have been enjoyed.
After breaking up with Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman had a relationship with rock singer Lenny Kravitz and the two were engaged. In 2006, she married country singer Keith Urban. The couple has two daughters, Sunday and Faith.
However, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's nearly 20-year marriage ended in September 2025. The two completed divorce procedures a few months later. After the breakup, Nicole Kidman is said to be getting to know investor Michael Reinstein.
