The actress, whose ten-year marriage to Cruise ended in 2001, told Elle: "That was an extraordinary thing for me. [Tom] taught me an enormous amount - as a girl into a woman."
Kidman insisted that she has no regrets about their relationship, saying: "I would do it again. I don't want to take away from 11 years with that man that were really important. Really, for our kids - they were amidst a lot of love. It wasn't bad."
The 41-year-old added that she hopes Cruise "has the same thing with Katie Holmes" as she has with new husband Keith Urban.
