Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated after nearly two decades together. The news was confirmed on September 29, 2025, and just one day later Kidman filed for divorce in Nashville. The couple, who married in June 2006, share two daughters: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

The split brings an end to one of Hollywood and Nashville’s most high-profile marriages. Sources close to the family say the separation did not come as a shock to those around them. Friends had been aware of mounting difficulties, with one insider noting that Urban’s decision to move into a separate residence earlier this year “marked a turning point” in the relationship.

According to several reports, Kidman had been “fighting to save her marriage” in recent months. She was said to be deeply committed to making things work and did not want the separation. Another source described her as feeling “very betrayed” by the outcome, suggesting that the divorce filing came only after her attempts at reconciliation failed.

Urban, meanwhile, has been on tour and is scheduled to perform in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on October 2. Those close to him say he has been “going through some stuff” and making “questionable choices,” though no specifics have been publicly confirmed. For his part, Urban has not commented directly on the separation, nor has Kidman.

The timing is particularly striking given Kidman’s public anniversary tribute to Urban just months earlier. In June, she posted a photo of the two together with the caption: “Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban.” Since then, Kidman has been focused on her daughters and recently wrapped filming Practical Magic 2 in London.

What lies ahead for the couple remains unclear. The divorce could involve division of significant property and assets, as the two own homes in multiple cities. For now, both stars are expected to remain active in their careers while navigating the legal proceedings.

Kidman previously went through a high-profile divorce from Tom Cruise in 2001, but this marks the first time Urban has faced such a public personal split. With no official statements yet from either party’s representatives, speculation is likely to continue until more details emerge.
