Book: Nicole Kidman Once Considered Becoming a Nun

After her 10-year marriage to Tom Cruise ended in 2001, Nicole Kidman considered "nunneries in Australia that would admit women who had been married," author Andrew Morton claims in his new tell-all, Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography.

Kidman's rep had no comment.

Kidman — who is expecting a baby with husband Keith Urban — has two adopted kids with Cruise – Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13 — who spend the majority of their time with their dad.

"I've met many people who have been in Scientology and then lost their kids because they've left it and their spouse stayed," Morton says in the new issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now.

The book is the latest controversy for Cruise: New footage, in which the actor says he tried to save America, has surfaced.
