During the 95th Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars 2023, Top Gun: Maverick, headed by Tom Cruise, secured six nominations. The Hollywood celebrity, however, skipped the award night. Rumors have it that Tom missed the event because he did not want to run into his ex-wife Nicole Kidman. Keep scrolling for more details as to why the claims might be true.
Tom Cruise May Have Missed The Oscars To Avoid Seeing Ex-wife
“Tom was not there because she was there, and he did not want a run-in,” a source from Daily Mail revealed.
For those unaware, Nicole and Tom married in 1990 before calling it quits in 2001. They even have two adopted children, Isabella and Connor.
When Cruise announced his intention to divorce, the actress was visibly upset, but things seem to have improved since then. But why do they still have to avoid each other?
There is a possibility that Tom’s absence had nothing to do with Nicole. Another source close to the actor denied the claim by saying it had nothing to do with Nicole Kidman.
As reported by NYPost, Tom Cruise skipped the award ceremony because of scheduling issues and not personal reasons.
Why The Rumors May Have Some Truth
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise haven’t been spotted together in over 20 years. This is even though both stars continue to appear in notable movies.
This has led to rumors that Tom purposefully stays away from places where he might run into his former wife.
The last time Tom did attend the Academy Awards was in 2010. This was also one of the rare times Nicole did not show up, giving the notion some truth.
Similarly, he didn’t attend the Golden Awards until 2009, another year Kidman skipped.
While Tom Cruise is not currently married, Nicole Kidman is. She has been happily married to artist Keith Urban for 16 years now.
She showed up at the awards dazzling in a sleek, all-black gown. Keith was with her all through, giving her glowing compliments in every way.
