Nicole Kidman Files for Divorce from Keith Urban After 19 Years
Nicole Kidman has officially filed for divorce from Keith Urban, ending nearly two decades of marriage. Court papers cite “irreconcilable differences” and list September 30, 2025, as the date of separation. Fans, long inspired by their public affection, were stunned by the news.
The legal filings reveal that Kidman and Urban had already reached agreements to prioritize their daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Kidman requested to be named primary residential parent, with custody divided 306 days to her and 59 days to Urban. Both waived ongoing spousal and child support, though Urban prepaid his obligations, covering education and healthcare costs.
The parenting plan stresses respectful co-parenting, requiring both to foster stability and avoid negative remarks. This underscores their commitment to shielding their children despite the personal split.
Reports indicate the couple had been separated since June 2025, when Urban moved out of their Nashville home. Kidman had reportedly hoped for reconciliation, but his decision to establish his own residence signaled finality.
Urban’s public appearances further fueled speculation. In July, he appeared tense during interviews about marriage and abruptly ended a radio call when asked about Kidman’s co-stars, sparking rumors of jealousy and strain.
Sources close to Kidman describe the divorce as “emotionally devastating.” Friends say she feels hurt and betrayed, though her sister and family have been strong supports. Urban, however, appears firm in his decision to move on.
Social media erupted with shock and sadness, with many fans lamenting the end of one of Hollywood’s most admired unions. Some speculated that busy schedules and Kidman’s demanding career added pressure.
Kidman and Urban, who wed in 2006, once symbolized resilience and love. Now, as their marriage ends, they remain united in ensuring stability for their daughters while beginning separate new chapters.
