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” with their separation dated September 30, 2025.

The documents detail custody arrangements for their daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Kidman seeks to be the primary residential parent, with custody split at 306 days to her and 59 days to Urban. Both have waived ongoing spousal and child support, with Urban prepaying education and healthcare costs.

Despite the split, both remain committed to respectful co-parenting. The legal filings stress their mutual goal to maintain stability for their daughters and prohibit negative comments about each other, prioritizing family harmony through a difficult transition.

Reports say the separation began months earlier in June 2025, when Urban left their Nashville home. Sources close to the couple reveal Kidman initially hoped to reconcile, but Urban’s choice to establish his own residence ended that possibility.

Speculation about their troubles grew during summer interviews, where Urban’s uneasy demeanor and a radio call cut short after questions about Kidman’s co-stars fueled rumors of tension.

Friends describe the divorce as “emotionally devastating” for Kidman, who feels deeply hurt but is supported by family. Urban appears firm in his decision to move on.

Fans worldwide expressed shock and sadness over the end of one of Hollywood’s most admired marriages. Many suggest the pressures of their busy lives and Kidman’s demanding acting career may have contributed.

Married since 2006, Kidman and Urban were seen as a symbol of love and resilience. Though their marriage ends, they remain united in prioritizing their daughters while starting separate new chapters.
