Nicole Kidman told Katie Holmes she has "no regrets" about divorcing Tom Cruise.
Kidman has been supporting former Dawson's Creek star Holmes since her decision to divorce Cruise.
Kidman was married to Cruise for 10 years before she separated from him in February 2001 - and in one heartfelt conversation she told Holmes her life had been great since she'd parted from the Top Gun actor.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Nicole told Katie her life is great now and she has no regrets."
Holmes, 33, ended her five-year marriage to Cruise, 50, in June and moved to New York City with the couple's six-year-old daughter Suri.
In the weeks leading up to her decision, the brunette beauty had reportedly been confiding in Kidman, 45, about her plans and the Oscar winner offered her support and advice.
The pair became friends shortly after Holmes's wedding to Cruise in November 2006 and bonded over Kidman and Cruise’s adopted children, Isabella, 19, and Connor, 17, who lived with their father and Holmes.
The source said: "They spoke when Nicole called the kids. She knows what it's like in that house."
Holmes and Cruise finalised a divorce settlement on July 9, less than two weeks after they split.
In the deal it is believed Holmes will get primary custody of Suri and will continue to live with her daughter in New York City, with Cruise allowed substantial visitation rights. The Rock Of Ages star is believed to have agreed to pay $10-million in child support over the next 12 years.
After divorcing Cruise, Kidman went on to marry country singer Keith Urban in 2006 and the couple have two daughters - Sunday, 4, and 17-month-old Faith. - Bang Showbiz
