Nicole Kidman has opened up about her marriage to Tom Cruise, 15 years after their split.

At only 23 years old when she tied the knot with the famous Scientologist, the actress admits she's shocked to have entered marriage so young.

'I was so young when I got married. I look back now and I'm like, "What?"' the 49-year-old star told Red magazine.

Comparing herself to young pop star Taylor Swift, the mother-of-four continued: 'You look at Taylor Swift, I mean how old is she? She's 26.'

'I had two kids by the time I was 27 and I'd been married for four years. But that's what I wanted,' the Australian beauty added.

Nicole and Tom said 'I do' in 1990 and became one of Hollywood's biggest power couples before their divorce in 2001.

During their marriage, the talented thespians adopted two children, daughter Isabella in 1992 and son Connor in 1995.

Last year, the natural redhead said her split from Tom mostly helped her career rather than hinder it.

'Out of my divorce came work that was applauded so that was an interesting thing for me,' she said at the Women In The World Summit.
