Action superstar Tom Cruise and Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman were once Hollywood's golden couple, but their marriage lasted only 11 years and ended in divorce in 2001. The latest reports suggest that, 25 years later, the former couple has "finally buried the hatchet," are working to repair their relationship, and are planning a long-awaited reunion with their children.
The 63-year-old Cruise and his wife, who is five years younger, adopted a daughter, Isabella, and a son, Connor, during their marriage. Their divorce was a sensation at the time. However, after the divorce, Kidman became estranged from both children, who stayed with Cruise and were raised within the Church of Scientology. Now, according to OK! Magazine, sources reveal that the now "single again" pair have been in discreet contact for some time and are discussing the possibility of meeting up.
Insiders say: "For people around Tom, this has actually been brewing for a long time. There has always been a sense that he hopes to achieve some sort of peace with Nicole and resolve unfinished business between them. Over the years, he has cautiously, quietly extended olive branches, hinting at his willingness, but never pushing too hard. Now that Nicole is open to the idea, there is a huge sense of relief on Tom's side. This was never something he could achieve alone, so for her to be willing to meet him halfway carries great emotional significance for him." Reportedly, the reunion is being arranged, with London considered a potential location because Isabella lives there and Tom also spends much time in London; however, Connor's home in Florida is also under consideration.

Additionally, Nicole Kidman has recently been rumored to have sparked chemistry with fellow Australian and "The Devil Wears Prada" heartthrob Simon Baker. The two played a married couple in the series "Scarpetta," and were spotted holding hands at its New York premiere and attending an after-party together, immediately fueling dating rumors. However, Nicole and Simon's ex-wife, Rebecca Rigg, have been friends for many years. Reportedly, Rebecca was completely in the dark and shocked by the latest rumors.
