Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise have remained one of the most talked about couples in Hollywood even years after their split. The two got together after meeting on the set of the 1990 film Days of Thunder and got married within a year of starting their relationship. They were together for a decade before announcing their split in 2001 due to their career and busy schedule. While the exes are hardly seen talking about each other, Kidman’s ex-boyfriend has opened up about his split from the actress.
Marcus Graham has shared that he also dated the Australian actress in his 20s and was heartbroken after she broke things off with him once she met the Mission Impossible star.

Despite their differences and the end of their relationship, the Good Guys, Bad Guys actor has said that he has nothing against The Undoing actress. While he is reportedly single right now, Kidman has settled into a married life with Keith Urban and has two children with the singer.
