She Is an Artist, He Grills Meat – Glimpse into Lives of Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman’s Kids

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise’s marriage ended on unhappy terms leaving her with little connection to their two children. The religion Tom and his children follow appears to be the cause of the rift in the family.

Tom Cruise and actress Nicole Kidman were once married and stayed together for 11 years. However, like most marriages, theirs suffered from different challenges and had ups and downs.
