Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Announce End of Marriage After Nearly 20 Years
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, one of Hollywood’s most enduring couples, are officially ending their marriage. Reports reveal that the pair had been living apart for several months before Kidman filed for divorce earlier this week. Friends say Urban attempted reconciliation, but the relationship had already reached a breaking point.
Neither Kidman nor Urban have publicly commented on the split. However, insiders suggest the strain stemmed largely from Kidman’s career resurgence. After dedicating years to raising their daughters, Sunday and Faith, Kidman’s return to film and television reignited her passion and professional drive. Sources say this shift altered the couple’s dynamic, creating emotional distance.
“Nicole was thriving at work and felt fulfilled, but Keith struggled with the change,” one close source shared. “He was accustomed to her supporting his career, and the evolving balance became difficult.”
Court documents indicate Kidman will be the primary residential parent, with the children spending 306 days annually with her and 59 days with Urban. Both parents have been ordered to complete a parenting seminar within 60 days to facilitate a smoother transition for their family.
Financial filings reveal a unique prenuptial agreement that awarded Urban $600,000 for every year of sobriety during their marriage—a sum totaling over $11 million.
Despite the emotional toll, both Kidman and Urban are reportedly committed to prioritizing stability and mutual respect for the sake of their daughters.
The end of their nearly two-decade marriage highlights the complexities of balancing fame, family, and individual growth. While their relationship has changed, the shared goal remains to provide a supportive environment for their children moving forward.
