Tom Cruise privately celebrated when his ex-wife Nicola Kidman and Keith Urban’s split was announced, a new report has claimed.
The Mission: Impossible icon, who was married to Nicole for 11 years, told those close to him that “karma” has finally come full circle.
According to International Business Times, the superstar has followed news of the breakup closely and hasn’t forgotten how he felt blamed and criticized after their own divorce.
An insider revealed that Cruise was hurt by comments Kidman made at the time, including public shade she threw at his he height, however, he remained silent at the time.
“When Tom and Nicole split, he caught all the blame and she got all the sympathy,” the insider said. “He was painted as the bad guy … that stuck with him for years.”
“Tom was really stung by the way Nicole handled their break-up. She went on TV, made digs about his height, and painted herself as the victim, while he stayed silent and took the hits.”
Now, the insiders noted that Cruise feels “proven right,” believing Nicole and Keith were a mismatch from the start.
“It annoyed him when this guy was painted as this saintly figure who’d swooped in on a white horse, so to speak, and rescued Nicole from the hellish memory of their marriage,” they said.
“He’s following the divorce news closely, and a part of him feels badly for her, since he knows how much she’s hurting.
“At the same time, he’s also allowing himself a little pat on the back and telling people close to him that this is karma doing its thing. Bottom line: He thought they were a hyped up couple who clearly had very little in common from the get-go — now he’s been proved right.”
