Fresh off her divorce from Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman is keeping her head held high as she prioritizes herself, her daughters, and her work. Standing at 5’11” (1.8m), Kidman is one of Hollywood’s most desirable leading ladies, and her dating history proves that no one can quite get enough of her.
From Tom Cruise to Lenny Kravitz and more, the Babygirl actress has dated some seriously fine men in her lifetime. But how do they compare when they stand shoulder-to-shoulder? Let’s take a quick look at how Kidman’s height stacks up against the famous men she’s been romantically linked to over the years.
1. Eleven-Year-Older Tom Burlinson
Tom Burlinson and Kidman met on the set of Windrider, a 1986 rom-com about a rock singer’s romance with a young man striving to become the world’s top windsurfer.
As per the information available online, Burlinson is 5’8″ (1.73m), which means that there is about 3 inches of difference between him and Kidman.
Talking about their relationship after the breakup, the actor told Sydney Morning Herald that they dated for three years after meeting on the movie set. Burlinson is eleven years older than Kidman, and it was apparently “her first relationship with a man as an adult.”
He added, “We had happy times, but she had her own path to take in life.” Burlinson clarified that, contrary to rumors, he never asked Kidman to marry him.
2. 80s Romance with Marcus Graham
While an exact timeline is not available for Kidman’s romance with the Australian actor, it is reported that they dated in the 1980s for a short while before she moved on with Cruise.

There isn’t much information available about Marcus Graham’s height online, but the consensus seems to be that he stands tall at 6’0″ (1.83m), give or take, making him an inch taller than his ex.
Talking to Woman’s Day in 2023, Graham had nothing bad to say about Kidman, calling her a “brilliant, gorgeous, talented actress.” He added that he was “devastated and heartbroken” when things didn’t work out, continuing, “At the time I cried for a long time. I was really hurt and confused, but I had lots to learn about the world.”
3. Nicole Kidman’s Ex-Husband, Tom Cruise
Everyone knows about the longtime romance between Kidman and Tom Cruise, which began on the set of Days of Thunder in 1990. The couple tied the knot later that year on Christmas Eve. They have two adopted children, Isabella and Connor.
Cruise’s height has been a topic of discussion for a while now, as he continues to defy the norm that states leading men need to be tall and broad. He stands at 5’7″ (1.7m), being about 4 inches shorter than Kidman.
Apparently, the actor “lies” about his height in his movies, using tricks to appear taller than his co-stars. Kidman filed for divorce in February 2001, bringing their decades-long relationship to an end.
4. Former Fiancé, Lenny Kravitz
Kidman and Lenny Kravitz had a short-lived relationship that lasted from 2003 to 2004. During that time, the two had secretly gotten engaged without anyone hearing about it. Kravitz is reported to be 5’9″ tall or 1.75m, just 2 inches shorter than his former fiancée.
Kidman revealed the secret about her engagement while on the press tour for her show, Big Little Lies, in 2017. This is where she worked with Kravitz’s daughter, Zoë Kravitz.
The actress said, “I knew Zoë [Kravitz] because I was engaged to her father. It’s all in the family! I love Lenny; he’s a great guy” (via E! News).
5. Keith Urban, Freshly Divorced
Lastly, the man Kidman probably thought she would be spending the rest of her life with was Keith Urban. Urban and Kidman are currently going through a divorce after being married for almost two decades. They met in January 2005 and were engaged by May 2006, tying the knot later in June.
Urban stands at 5’10” (1.78m), making Kidman just an inch taller than him. The two share two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.
Urban and Kidman are making headlines every day since their divorce was announced. Whether it’s about him moving on or Kidman’s friends letting her know there’s more fish in the sea, they seem to be the hot topic of discussion lately.
Judging by the heights seen in Kidman’s former lovers, it’s clear that height is nothing but a number for the actress.
