1991: Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise

At the beginning of the 1990s, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman reigned the Hollywood scene as the hottest celebrity couple. Their relationship was one of the most celebrated unions in Hollywood as they depict the essence of a true Hollywood couple- both stunning, equally talented, famous, and young.

At that time, Cruise was a rising star whose name was known across the globe. He starred in many top-grossing movies such as Top Gun, Rain Man, and Born of The Fourth of July. Cruise met the beautiful newcomer Kidman in Days of Thunder in 1990. Shortly after Cruise’s marriage with his previous wife, Mimi Rogers, was dissolved, Cruise and Kidman began dating. Surprisingly, the couple wed by the end of the year, and by 1991, they are the most talked-about couple in the industry. They were often seen together in red carpet events, looking happy and content with their marriage. Apparently, Cruise announced their split in 2001, and two days after, his lawyer filed the papers in the court. The reason for their breakup was still a mystery until today, as both are hesitant to talk about it. Some reports suggest that Kidman’s decision not to join Cruise’s religion and their inability to produce children could be one of the culprits. Today, the couple remains civil as they co-parent their two adopted children.
