Nicole responded, “I was young. I think I offered it up?”

She laughed before adding, “Maybe I’ve gotten a bit more trepidatious, but I’m always trying to be as open as possible. I just prefer to live in the world that way… I’m wary at times, and I’ve been hurt, but at the same time I much prefer a warm approach rather than a prickly shut- down approach. My husband, Keith, says that when he met me, he said, ‘How’s your heart?’ And I apparently responded, ‘Open.’”

Nicole and Tom divorced after 11 years of marriage back in 2001. Nearly six years ago, Nicole revealed what she did not regret with regards to Tom Cruise.
