The marriage of Hollywood superstars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman was not only a high-profile love story but also a significant point of concern for the Church of Scientology. Cruise, a devoted Scientologist, was one of the church’s most prominent figures, and his relationship with Kidman, who was not deeply involved in Scientology, reportedly posed challenges for the organization.

According to insiders, the Church of Scientology was wary of Kidman’s influence on Cruise. As the daughter of a renowned psychologist, a profession the church strongly opposes, Kidman was seen as a potential threat to Cruise’s dedication to Scientology. Reports suggest that her skepticism toward the church created tension within their marriage and raised fears that she might distance Cruise from its teachings.

Former Scientologists and experts have claimed that the church went to great lengths to monitor and maintain its connection with Cruise during this time. Some even allege that the church played a role in their eventual divorce in 2001, as it sought to secure Cruise’s unwavering loyalty.

While neither Cruise nor Kidman has publicly addressed these claims in detail, the couple’s marriage remains a focal point of discussions about the intersection of Hollywood, personal relationships, and Scientology’s influence behind the scenes.
