Nicole Kidman has alluded to how she is doing as her divorce from Keith Urban continues on.
The star of Eyes Wide Shut and Paddington sat down with musician and actor Ariana Grande for a candid chat about where the two are in their lives right now. Grande is fresh off the back of the release of the sequel to Wicked, while Kidman revealed that she just shot a sequel to Practical Magic during the summer.
The chat, for Interview Magazine, saw the two actors cover everything from their star signs to what they're reading at the moment - for Kidman, it's a thriller novel by none other than Reese Witherspoon.

However, there was one seemingly small moment at the start of the interview where Kidman appeared to offer some candid insight into how she is feeling at the moment.
The actor has had a tough time lately after it was confirmed that she is divorcing her husband Keith Urban after being married for nearly 20 years. It was revealed that Kidman had filed for divorce on September 30.
Opening up to Grande in their conversation when asked how she is doing, Kidman said candidly: "I’m hanging in there."
The divorce has been widely publicized, including one detail about a 'cocaine clause' in a prenuptial agreement that the pair had entered into when they first got married.
This specified that if Urban, who has struggled with addiction, remained cocaine-free during the marriage, then he would be entitled to a payment of $600,000 for each year they were married in which he remained sober.
Over 19 years of marriage, this totals just over $11 million.
Urban has previously spoken about an intervention staged by Kidman shortly before they married that helped him to overcome his addiction.
In 2010 he spoke to Oprah Winfrey about how Kidman could have left the relationship, saying: "I'm just so glad she didn't, and she made a decision to turn around and initiate ultimately this intervention, and it was done in such a way that the love in that room at that moment was just right. I was like, 'Put the cuffs on, let's go'."
Urban would later say that Kidman continued to support him through his addiction, saying at Kidman's AFI Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony: "Four months into a marriage, and I'm in rehab for three months with no idea what was going to happen to us.
"Nic pushed through every negative voice – I'm sure even some of her own – and she chose love."
