Insiders Claim Tom Cruise May Want to Bury the Hatchet for Good With Ex Nicole Kidman by Doing This
Tom Cruise and his second ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, seemingly haven't interacted after their shock divorce. But now, it seems Cruise may want to bury the hatchet for good, all for their kids. Sources recently alleged to Heat World UK that after Cruise made that comment about Kidman, which was his first public comment about her in over 20 years, he may want to turn things around for them and their two kids. More from SheKnows Nicole Kidman Reveals She Discusses 'The Most Intimate Things' With Her Teenage Daughters: 'I Get To Be Their Guide' (For the British Film Institute's Sight and Sound magazine via Deadline, he spoke about Kidman in May 2025, saying, 'It was basically he and I getting to know each other,' he said. 'And when we were doing that, I suggested Nicole play the role [of Alice]. Because obviously she's a great actress.') 'Tom has always had such a huge chip on his shoulder towards Nicole, she tried many times over the years to break through so that they could have a better co-parenting relationship, but he was always totally closed off,' they alleged, adding that he now wants the family of four to reconnect. 'But he's started to soften and he's so much more mellow these days. He's shocked everyone in his world by saying he wants to get together with Nicole, most likely in London.' They added, 'Of course, he wants Connor and Bella to be there with him; they've wanted peace between their parents for a long time, so this is music to their ears.' 'Tom insists that time has been a great healer but a lot of people are convinced this is more motivated by his new romance with Ana [de Armas],' insiders said about his highly-publicized romance with future co-star Armas. 'Whatever the reason, Tom is very gung-ho about this and plans on reaching out to Nicole very soon to get the ball rolling. Odds are she will be all for it, though no doubt it will be emotional to come face to face with him after all these years.' For those who don't know, Kidman and Cruise met on the set of the hit film Days of Thunder and tied the knot a year later on Christmas Eve in 1990. They worked together on-screen again for the western film Far and Away two years later, and again in 1999 for Eyes Wide Shut. And as we said, they adopted two children together, named Isabella Jane, 32, and Connor, 30. Despite officials saying it was an amicable split, Nicole Kidman said she was blindsided when Tom Cruise filed for divorce from her in 2001. Before Kidman became the superstar she is today, she told Marie Claire, per Goalcast, that she felt like a trophy at the beginning of their marriage. 'I thought, I don't deserve to be here. We would go to the Oscars, and I would think, I'm here to support [Tom]. I felt it was my job to put on a beautiful dress and to be seen and not heard.' While Cruise has continued to be close with Isabella and Connor (especially considering their Scientology ties), many wondered what Kidman's relationship was like with them. They're still tight too!

Stern Jennifer Garner meets up with ex Ben Affleck after their daughter Violet aired out hotel room spat
Jennifer Garner looked stern as she met up with her ex Ben Affleck to run errands on Saturday in Los Angeles - shortly after their daughter Violet aired out an argument she had with the actress. The Elektra star, 53 - who recently opened up about parenting struggles - was seen stepping into a sleek black SUV which was being driven by the Oscar winner, 52, during the weekend outing. Just a few weeks earlier, their eldest child - who is currently attending Yale University - went viral after penning a woke essay for school over climate change. According to the 19-year-old, both she and Garner had a disagreement amid the devastating L.A. fires in January - and left her parents taken aback since they were not aware what Violet had written, exclusively reported. For the latest daytime excursion, Jennifer kept it casual wearing a long-sleeved, black shirt and placed a cap on top of her head. Affleck - who was sitting in the driver's seat with the window rolled down - sported a light blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up in the warm weather. Earlier in the day, the Gone Girl actor spent quality time with son Samuel, 13, as they picked up items from Best Buy. Ben and Jennifer - who were married from 2005 through 2018 - share Violet, Samuel and also Fin, 16. The Hollywood star additionally sported a pair of denim jeans and completed his ensemble with tan boots and black shades. Affleck and his son strolled through a crowded parking lot after shopping at the store before heading to their next destination. Earlier this month, Ben and Garner's daughter Violet wrote an essay for her university's Global Health Review which was titled A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles. The college student has been vocal about her advocacy for both climate change and public health - such as the student demanding 'mask mandates' last year during an impassioned speech. The Gen Zer detailed an argument that she had with her mom Jennifer Garner in the wake of the deadly fires that ravaged through Southern California at the beginning of the year. Earlier in the day, the Gone Girl actor spent quality time with son Samuel, 13, as they picked up items at Best Buy Affleck and his son strolled through a crowded parking after shopping at the store before heading to their next destination She had stated that while the 13 Going On 30 actress was left 'shell-shocked' over the devastation - Violet admitted that she was simply 'surprised at her surprise.' In the paper which was published on May 18, the student wrote of Garner: 'She was shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised myself and my siblings. 'I was surprised at her surprise: as a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when.' Violet then recalled having conversations with adults while staying at a hotel with her family to 'escape the smoke.' 'Though, I found my position to be an uncommon one: people spoke of how long rebuilding would take, how much it would cost, and how tragically odd the whole situation had been. 'The crisis was acute, a burst of bad luck. It had come from a combination of high winds and low rains.' The Yale student also wrote about how her younger brother Samuel had doubts that the fires were linked to climate change. 'Hopefully, most of us understand the climate crisis better than my little brother,' she added. Garner had volunteered with World Central Kitchen in the wake of the disaster to help feed firefighters and victims of the flames. During an emotional interview with MSNBC, the actress also revealed that she had lost a friend in the fires. Elsewhere in her school essay, Violet penned about society's approach when it comes to a crisis - and used COVID-19 as an example. She wrote about the government tackling the pandemic and facing the pressures to 'return to normal' by society. 'While vaccines have been extremely effective in reducing death rates, those of us who have never stopped "following the science" know that even mild COVID infections are dangerous.' Other topics Violet touched on included the effects of Long COVID and how privilege or bias can affect who receives a quick response for aid. She then followed up with an example about FEMA's differing response to the L.A. fires and the floods in North Carolina last year. At the time of the flames in January, Violet had also 'pressured' her family into wearing face masks once again due to poor air quality. A source told 'Violet Affleck has been pressuring her family to put a mask on since she has been back home because right now the air quality is unhealthy. 'She is clearly not going to give up on advocating for mask mandates. It has become a part of who she is and what she stands for.' The insider added that the college student 'is so passionate about this and she feels vindicated for her work championing masks because she does, truly, believe that her opposition to the ban is warranted. 'She is hoping the fires will serve to show people that masks can be used in times not only connected to the spread of a virus.' Last year in July, Violet had asked that 'mask bans' come to an end inside medical facilities during a speech to the governing body for Los Angeles County. She further asked the board to 'confront the long COVID crisis' and explained how she had contracted 'a post-viral condition' back in 2019. The teenager said at the time, 'I demand mask availability, air filtration and Far-UVC light in government facilitates, including jails and detention centers, and mask mandates in county medical faculties. 'You must expand the availability of high-quality free tests and treatment, and most importantly the county must oppose mask bans for any reason. They do not keep us safer.' Violet's speech garnered differing reactions - with some praising the Ivy League student while others called her 'utterly deluded.' Her father Ben also gave his eldest child a warning and told her that she needed to be 'realistic,' a source told 'While Ben and Jen will always support their daughter, Ben had a conversation with her and told her that she needs to be realistic with this because he doesn't want her to waste all of her time putting effort into something that probably won't make a difference in the long run. 'He knows how strongly she feels about this, but now that Violet is an adult, he felt that it was his duty to let her know that she is David fighting Goliath and that most people unfortunately do not feel the same way she does about this.' The insider added the Ben, 'was also concerned that Violet felt as if her parent's star power was going to be able to guarantee her the outcome that she wanted which, in this case, it is not.'

In another candid moment, Sasha and Kai were seen walking down the street together, seemingly engrossed in conversation. Naomi captioned the image with some heartfelt words: 'Nothing makes me happier than when they talk to each other.' The touching moment offered a rare glimpse into the family's tight-knit dynamic - and highlighted the former couple's continued commitment to raising their children amicably. The outing comes after the Mulholland Drive star shared never-before-seen photos of Sasha and Kai on Mother's Day earlier this month. 'My heart is so full. Thank you Sasha and Kai for giving me motherhood,' she said. Naomi went on to also thank her current husband Billy Crudup for organising the family day: 'And to Billy for the most wonderful day. Feeling so grateful.' Kai came out as transgender in 2025 on Instagram, after making her her runway debut for Valentino during Paris Fashion Week in March. 'I'm so eternally grateful that I'm so supported as a young transgender girl,' the up-and-coming model and activist wrote. 'But there are so many boys and girls like me who can't say they have the same blessing. 'Our job is to stand up and support those young beautiful lives, and the @aliforneycenter is helping us to do so.'

The Ali Forney Center is a New York City non-profit which provides shelter and healthcare services to LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing homelessness. 'This isn't just about representing the trans community,' he said. 'These are people who are being rejected. These are people who are experiencing the harshest version of humanity that we can offer, and some of them are not surviving it.' 'We got to bear that in mind when we go out there and glam ourselves up and get ready to be seen, you know?' Schreiber continued. 'That what we're doing is actually raising money for a community that desperately needs it.' 'Kai is embracing her space in the trans community like never before. Such a fighter,' Liev said.
