Hollywood star Nicole Kidman (58) is making headlines again as her recent shocking divorce from husband Keith Urban (57) brings back memories of her poignant remark made during her split from Tom Cruise.

Following the news of Kidman's divorce from Urban after 19 years of marriage, online communities have been buzzing about a witty comment she made on The David Letterman Show in 2001 shortly after her divorce from Tom Cruise.

When asked about the divorce, Kidman, standing at 5 feet 11 inches, famously replied with a smile, "Well, I can wear heels now." This statement playfully alluded to the height difference between her and the 5 feet 7 inches Cruise, implying limitations in her footwear choices in public.

The actress officially filed for divorce from country singer Keith Urban in a Nashville court, citing 'irreconcilable differences.' The couple, who married in a Catholic ceremony in Sydney in 2006, raised two daughters, Sunday (17) and Faith (14). Kidman also has adopted children Bella (32) and Connor (30) from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.

Sources close to Kidman revealed that she fought hard to save the marriage and did not want the divorce. Despite the difficult times, she has been seen spending time with her family, and recent sightings showed her in relatively good spirits, offering some relief to her fans.

While the 'heel remark' was seen as a symbol of independence and freedom after her divorce from Cruise, its resurfacing now carries a more bittersweet tone, reflecting on a different chapter of her life.

Fans have been expressing sympathy and support online, with comments like "Nicole Kidman, I hope she overcomes this difficult time," and "It's interesting how her past divorce story with Tom Cruise is being brought up again." Some netizens also remarked, "Who knew that comment would be talked about so much again?"
