Head's up, Katie Holmes.

In a new interview with USA Today, Nicole Kidman said she lost her self-identity during her nearly 10-year marriage to Tom Cruise because of the couple's constant traveling.

"Tom and I, we moved and moved and moved. Your sense of where do I come from becomes less and less relevant," said Kidman, 40, who split from Cruise, 45, in 2001 and shares custody of their adopted children Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12.

"A lot of my life, particularly when I was working so much, it was about trying to fill in the gaps," she added. "Now there's much more reason to exist in the world without my identity needing to be through work."

She said her life is finally making sense again.

"I have a new niece, I have a new marriage, we just bought an acreage in Tennessee, which we're really happy to build a house on and spend some time doing that," she said. "I'm just not willing to give up my life with my man anymore."

Kidman says she and Urban, 40, are "inseparable" (she even plans to hit the road with him on his world tour).

"I also like seeing him do what he does," she said. "He can really play, and he can really sing. I'll vouch for it."

Kidman said she isn't as adamant about working so prolifically, either. As for her recent string of box office duds (The Invasion, anyone?), she said she has no regrets.

"You always strive to make a good movie," she said. "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You step into something with the best of intentions and you hope. I think that kind of approach to a career, and a life, is the healthiest way to be."
