Renowned actress Nicole Kidman has officially filed for divorce from country music superstar Keith Urban, ending their 19-year marriage. The divorce petition was filed by Kidman on September 30, 2025, in Nashville, citing "irreconcilable differences" and "marital difficulties."
The couple, who married in June 2006, share two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. Reports indicate that the couple had been living separately since the beginning of summer, with Urban reportedly moving out of their Nashville home. While the exact reasons for the separation have not been fully disclosed, sources suggest the demanding nature of their careers contributed to a perceived "lack of intimacy." Urban has been on his "High and Alive" world tour, while Kidman has had back-to-back filming commitments.
Despite the separation, the couple had publicly shown support for each other's endeavors. In April 2024, Urban delivered an emotional tribute to Kidman at the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony, reflecting on their meeting in 2005 and her unwavering support. He also mentioned that their marriage was a "miracle" that saved him when he was undergoing rehabilitation for addiction shortly after their wedding. The legal documents also indicate Kidman is requesting to be named the primary residential parent for their daughters, with a parenting plan allocating 306 days per year with her and 59 days with Urban. Neither party is seeking child support or spousal support.
The news of the separation broke on September 29, 2025, with sources close to the couple suggesting that signs had been present for some time. Kidman was reportedly "fighting to save the marriage," with her sister, Antonia, providing significant support. Their last public appearance together was in June 2025 at a FIFA Club World Cup match in Nashville.
