Aliens, vampires, cults, Scientologists… It’s all here for a spooky season episode of Significant Lovers! We’re going back to the early ‘90s when actor Tom Cruise, already married and dabbling in the cult of Scientology, met and fell for actress Nicole Kidman.

Tom and Nicole quickly dropped their partners and began a passionate, whirlwind romance, and she even showed a mild curiosity in Tom’s new religion. But unbeknownst to them, Nicole had been labeled a “Suppressive Person” and potential threat to Scientology.

Is that why, after their eventual divorce, Nicole no longer sees her two children she shares with Tom? We’ll never really know, but join us as we revisit Interview with the Vampire, Eyes Wide Shut, and some truly crazy moments between this iconic couple.
