Nicole Kidman has finally broken her silence after 7 years of divorce.

The 'Moulin Rouge' star has suffered constant criticism over her lack of involvement in the lives of adopted children Isabella and Connor since she split from Cruise in 2001.

But only now has she broken her silence and spoken out about her relationship with the children.

'Its a pity they have been manipulated by the father to distance themselves from me,' Heat magazine quotes Nicole as saying.

She adds that she attempted to pay a Mothers Day visit but her kids ended up spending the day with Tom and current wife Katie Holmes.

They are closer to their new mom now, she admitted.

The actress who is heavily pregnant with country star Keith Urban is expected to give birth in a little under 7 weeks to her first biological child.
