Tom Cruises Decision to Skip the Oscars Reportedly Tied to Avoiding Ex-Wife, Nicole Kidman

Publish date: 2024-05-08

Reports suggest that Tom Cruise intentionally skipped the Oscars on Sunday, March 12, to steer clear of an uncomfortable encounter with Nicole Kidman.

Sources indicated that the star of Top Gun: Maverick opted out of attending the ceremony due to his ex-wife’s presence, stemming from their bitter divorce over two decades ago.

Cruise’s film had been nominated for six awards, including the highly sought-after Best Picture Award.

Cruise and Kidman ended their marriage in 2001, reportedly due to her refusal to embrace the Church of Scientology alongside him.

An insider informed DailyMail.com: “Tom was not there because she was there, and he did not want a run-in.”

Nevertheless, sources close to Cruise contended that his absence was merely due to scheduling conflicts and not a personal slight. They did not specifically address the claim linking it to Kidman’s attendance.

Cruise, 60, and his ex-wife have not coincided at the same Oscars events this year and have not been spotted together at any events for years.

Kidman, 55, who graced the Oscars red carpet with her husband, country singer Keith Urban, 55, and displayed public affection during the show, notably did not attend the Oscars luncheon last month where her Scientology-affiliated ex was present.
