“What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”

After meeting in 2005, Nicole welcomed two daughters with Keith: Sunday Rose, and Faith Margaret. However, Nicole has four children total with two additional children with ex-husband Tom Cruise. 

Despite Nicole’s “quiet” year in 2025, feeling that she was “in my shell,” she has been booked and busy in 2026. The 58-year-old has countless projects on the go, including multiple interviews where fans anxiously wait to see if she’ll reveal more about her divorce.

Gracefully, Nicole has kept the details to a minimum. 

Her first interview after rumours spread was with Vogue, where she merely discussed online scrutiny and being in her 50s – which fans read in between the lines.  

“Literally walk away from it,” she said. “It will destroy you.”

“How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?”

“This album is intended to bring escapism…to help you look up and see a blue sky. play it at the beach, on the boat (of course), at the backyard barbecue with your family & friends…wherever and whenever you need a moment to exhale.”

“It’s the first time I’ve done an album of covers,” he said in an interview with Country Central about the album. “There is one original on the record. It’s a thematic record…yacht rock songs. You think I’m kidding? I’m not kidding.”
