Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were a powerhouse Hollywood couple. They had children, they had fame, and everyone wanted to be them. Kidman and Cruise had it all. But then it all fell apart. Why? Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's relationship started in 1989, where they connected through Hollywood. Kidman was a rising star, fresh from a string of Australian films and miniseries which had won her increasing accolades and attention in her country. It was during a viewing of the 1989 Australian film Dead Calm that Cruise first set eyes on Kidman, according to Vanity Fair. Impressed with what he saw, he began putting things in motion to meet her in person to maybe cast her in a movie and perhaps more, seeing that at the time Cruise was in the process of divorcing from his first wife, Mimi Rogers. So they met, and in short, Kidman fell hard for Cruise. As Kidman told Vanity Fair in 2002, "He basically swept me off my feet [...] I fell madly, passionately in love. And as happens when you fall in love, my whole plan in terms of what I wanted for my life - I was like, 'Forget it. This is it.'" Together, the duo starred as romantic opposites in 1990's Days of Thunder, and once Cruise's divorce was through, married the same year. At the time, Cruise was 28, and Kidman was 23.
