Cruise says no to Nicole reunion

Tom Cruise has ruled out the possibility of getting back together with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, but he admits he's flattered people think they were a good match.

The couple split at the end of 2000 and divorced in August, 2001, but remain close.

Speaking to American TV presenter Diane Sawyer on news show Primetime Thursday, Cruise insisted reports of a reunion are way off the mark, but he's happy people liked the couple when they were together.

He said: "(We're) good friends, partners with our kids and someone I feel about very deeply. It's kind of cool that people are saying, 'Hey, they were right.'"

And Cruise admits he does plan to wed again - even though he's been unlucky twice.

He adds: "I am a guy who probably will get married again. I like the intimacy of that relationship with a woman."
