The actress, who has talked publicly about her pain following the end of her 10-year marriage to Tom Cruise in 2001, "has thought long and hard about committing herself again," says a source close to her. "Nicole hasn't married Keith on a whim – this is true love." (Father Coleman told the press that Kidman did not need to obtain an annulment to remarry because in the eyes of the Catholic Church her marriage to Cruise, a Scientologist, was not recognized.)
Adds another friend: "[The wedding] meant so much to everybody who helped carry her through such incredible sadness, friends like Naomi especially, and it was so sweet to see her so happy and so ready for the next chapter of her life." And her kids with Cruise seem to have welcomed their new stepdad. "Connor and Bella came over to Keith during the reception several times when Nicole wasn't even there – just to chat," says a guest. "During his speech, Keith said how happy he was that they were there. He pointed to them and there was a round of applause."
