Nicole Kidman is opening up about her marriage to Tom Cruise, comparing the former couple to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Kidman, who is now married to Keith Urban, talked about it with Vanity Fair in their December issue, saying they endure the same media scrutiny as she and Cruise did when they were married for 11 years.

“There is something about that sort of existence that, if you really focus on each other and you're in that bubble, it's very intoxicating, because it's just the two of you and there is only one other person that’s going through it,” she told the magazine.

She added, “So it brings you very close, and it's deeply romantic. I'm sure Brad and Angelina have that--because there's nobody else that understands it except that person who's sleeping right next to you."

Kidman, now 46, also said of their failed marriage that he wasn’t her “great love,” Urban is.

“I was so young,” she said of being married to Cruise at just 23. But, “I had a lot of time alone, which was really, really good, because I was a child, really, when I got married. And I needed to grow up.”

Us Weekly notes Kidman called her marriage to Urban “peaceful” but admits juggling both family life and career is a “push-pull.”
