Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have allegedly separated after nearly two decades of marriage. The Oscar-winning actress and the country music star have reportedly been living apart since the summer, marking the end of one of Hollywood’s most enduring love stories.
The couple who tied the knot in Sydney in June 2006 share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17 years old, and Faith Margaret, 14 years old. Their split comes just months after the actress publicly celebrated their wedding anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post in June.
“Nicole’s sister Antonia has been a rock, and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another. Nicole didn’t want this. She has been fighting to save the marriage,” a source close to the family shared.
In recent months, the pair appeared to lead separate lives. The Australian actress wrapped filming “Practical Magic 2” in London, while the singer has been on tour with his next performance scheduled for 2nd October in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
The reason behind their split remains unclear. TMZ first reported that the couple had been living apart since the summer, with claims that Keith has already moved out of their Nashville home. While Nicole was said to be eager to salvage the marriage, insiders note that “sometimes relationships just run their course.” However, there have been no reports of an official divorce filing so far.
As they begin this new chapter apart, fans around the world continue to show their support for both stars. We wish Nicole, Keith, and their family the very best moving forward.
Update (1st October, Wednesday)
Nicole Kidman has officially filed for divorce from Keith Urban in Tennessee court, stating their marriage had suffered irreconcilable differences. The filing formally brings an end to their nearly 20-year union.
A source close to the actress told Page Six that the actress feels “devastated and betrayed” by the collapse of her marriage. Adding to the heartbreak, insiders claim the singer has already moved on with a younger girlfriend following the split.
According to multiple outlets, the country singer has been linked to another woman in the music business, though her identity remains unknown. A Nashville PR insider told the Daily Mail: “The rumour is that he’s with a younger woman in the business. It’s all everyone is talking about. Everyone wants to know who, but so far, that’s a mystery.”
Another source told TMZ that Keith’s inner circle also believes he is seeing someone new, adding: “All the signs point to the fact he is with another woman. Let’s just say, Nicole doesn’t dispute that, but she’s still shocked over it.” A second insider stressed the speculation is now “all over Nashville.”
