Cruise And Kidman Hugged After Splitting Assets


Hollywood stars TOM CRUISE and NICOLE KIDMAN hugged after striking a deal to split their assets. The actors split in February (01) after 11-years together. Despite a quickie divorce in August (01), their collective wealth and assets meant a long court battle seemed inevitable. But the two showed that they are still amicable, by thrashing out a deal to carve up their $350 million (£270 million) earlier this month .

And they surprised onlookers by warmly embracing after putting pen to paper. According to America's PEOPLE magazine assistant editor LARRY HACKETT, who will reveal all the fine points of the divorce deal in his mag when it hits newsstands on Friday (23NOV01), Cruise gets the couple's three jets, including the $28 million (£21 million) GULF STREAM jet, and their 28-acre, $10 million (£7. 7 million) Telluride, Colorado, estate.

Nicole gets to keep the couple's Pacific Palisades, California, and Sydney, Australia, mansions - worth almost $40 million (£30 million). (KL&IG/WNV/IG)
