Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban End 19-Year Marriage

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, long regarded as one of Hollywood’s most enduring couples, are officially ending their marriage after 19 years. Sources reveal the couple had been living apart for several months before Kidman filed for divorce earlier this week. Despite her recent legal action, insiders say she had previously attempted to save the relationship.

While no official reason for the split has been confirmed, sources point to growing emotional and logistical distance. Kidman’s return to acting after stepping back to raise their daughters, Sunday and Faith, played a role. The loss of her mother in late 2024 inspired Kidman to fully reengage with her career—a move supported by her daughters and marked by renewed professional success.

Tensions reportedly arose as career dynamics shifted. Urban, who had long been supported by Kidman in his music career, may have struggled with the changing balance as Kidman’s work took center stage.

Court documents show Kidman has requested primary custody of their daughters, a request Urban has agreed to. The children will reside primarily with Kidman, with both parents required to complete parenting seminars. Urban is said to be meeting all financial child support obligations.

Additionally, their prenuptial agreement includes a sobriety clause that could entitle Urban to over $11 million, reflecting the unique terms of their nearly two-decade marriage.
