Being a single mother makes it difficult to find a mate even when you're Nicole Kidman.
"I'm hoping to meet someone and be happy with them. But that's not as easy as it sounds. I'm a 37-year-old woman with two children. Men aren't beating a path to my door," she said in an interview published Wednesday in the latest issue of Now magazine.
"I don't want to sound like a woman from a lonely hearts club and I don't want to advertise. The children are my priority. I take them around with me movies or baseball games or local shows and that's not so appealing for any new man on the scene, is it?" she said.
The Oscar-winning star of "The Hours" has been single since breaking up with rock star Lenny Kravitz (news) earlier this year.
She denied rumors that she might get back together with ex-husband Tom Cruise (news), with whom she split in 2001. The pair share custody of their children, 11-year-old Isabella and 9-year-old Connor.
"That whole part of my life is over and done with. We'll always be in contact because of our children," she said. "But I'm single and there's no one out there for me at the moment."
Kidman, who recently starred in a remake of "The Stepford Wives," also wanted to dash speculation that she's suffering from an eating disorder. She has looked painfully thin in recent photographs, but said her hairstyle was to blame.
"I've been wearing it up a lot lately and that seems to make my face look smaller and make my body look even thinner," she explained. "When I wear it down ... then my boy-like figure looks a little fuller. That's the only explanation I can come up with."
Nicole...give me a holla...I'm available!
I'm sure there's a few ten years olds available somewhere
Don't do it - she's a nutcase.
Nutty, needy 23-year olds - YES ; nutty needy 37-year olds - NYET!
Okay, since the 23-year-old Florida school teacher is going to be out of circulation for a while...what's her number?
say what you want about her character, you guys have to admit she is a classic beauty.
I read that she is Catholic and didn't approve of Scientology for her children as one of the main reasons for her divorce with Tom Cruz.
LOL
You can have her. I doubt that I could get along very well with those hollywood types.
Oh, alright. She's a babe. There, I said it.
only because I don't know WHERE her door is!
At least one guy is tired of her shiat. And she has baggage. If her priorities are her kids and not finding a man, she is unlikely to find a man.
/someone may shoplift the pooty for her if she is hard up.
She's a tamale, nutcase or not but then again I found Sean Young (Blade Runner, Stripes, Hot Shots Part Deux) extremely attractive.
I dunno. I can't think of many guys who would kick her outta the bed at night...
When Nicole Kidman can't get a man all men are dead.
Wonder what happened with that.
She's vastly overrated, IMO. She doesn't even look good.
IIRC, one of the reasons she and Tom Cruise split was because she was Catholic and had become worried about raising her kids in scientology. Don't remember where I read it, but I Do remember it being one reason. Basically, she said he had gone nutso over scientology and was a little scary in his zeal for promoting it.
Of course, with her making a film where she is nude, in a tub with a (also naked) 10 year old boy, that kinda dismisses all of that "Catholic" stuff! So, beautiful as she is, she still seems to have a screw or two loose somewhere, IMHO!
She left Scientology, which is one of the reasons she broke up with Cruise.
If I were single, I'd volunteer. I've always thought she was an amazingly attractive woman.
