Tom Cruise is on a dangerous mission to uncover the scoop behind the simmering feud between his ex-wife Nicole Kidman and actress Salma Hayek. The actresses clashed briefly during a balenciaga event in front of Katy Perry and the photographers. While stars have since tried to downplay the situation, Cruise’s close friendship with Hayek has him playing detective, suspecting his ex-wife is to blame.

Tom Cruise ‘poking his nose’ into the dispute between Hayek and Kidman

“He has always been a big fan of Salma and is incredibly grateful for the support he showed her after his breakup with Nicole,” a source told In Touch. The source suggested that the Top Gun star maintains a very hectic work schedule but still “stays up to date with Hollywood news a lot more than he lets on.” This one definitely caught his attention, not just because it involved Nicole.

The source further noted that Cruise is playing a very dangerous game with his ex. “He’s playing a pretty dangerous game, because he’s obviously going to get to Nicole, and everyone knows that anything Tom says about her, especially if it’s the slightest bit negative, sets off an avalanche in her.”

Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek recently found themselves in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. During Paris Fashion Week, social media hyped up a seemingly harmless interaction between the two actresses.

A short video clip captured Salma placing her hand on Nicole’s arm, apparently to adjust her pose for the cameras. In response, Nicole removed Salma’s hand and turned to Katy Perry and exchanged a few words with Hayek. While some viewers interpreted this exchange as a sign of tension between the two actresses, others have pointed out that such moments can often be misinterpreted under the intense scrutiny of public attention.

Cruise married Kidman in 1990 after their romance began on the set of days of thunder. They share two children, Isabella and Connor. The actor then filed for divorce in February 2001.

Tom Cruise has always been a ‘fan’ of Salma Hayek

While Tom Cruise and Salma Hayek never shared the screen, their paths first intertwined in 2005, when Cruise produced the film “Ask the Dust,” starring Hayek. Since then, the two have maintained a friendly relationship. A source close to Cruise confirms that their mutual admiration is “purely platonic, rooted in mutual respect for their respective talents and work ethic.”

The source revealed that both Hayek and Kidman are downplaying the situation, insisting it’s no big deal. However, that hasn’t deterred Tom from “poking his nose into the matter and discussing it with his contacts, speculating that his ex-wife is the culprit.”
