NICOLE Kidman considered becoming a nun after she split from Tom Cruise. The Oscar-winning actress, whose 10-year marriage to Tom ended in 2001, was reportedly left so heartbroken she researched into joining a Catholic order that accepted divorced women.

The claims are made in British author Andrew Morton's new book, Tom Cruise: An Unauthorised Biography. Morton claims: "Nicole considered nunneries in Australia that would admit women who had been married."
