Indications Suggesting Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Were Approaching Separation
Meanwhile, Kidman has been managing her numerous professional commitments alongside her responsibilities as a parent. (Kidman and Urban are parents to their teenage daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14. The Academy Award recipient also has adopted children, Isabella, currently 32, and Connor, 30, from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.)
The source commented, “Nicole has consistently demonstrated remarkable professional drive while remaining an unwavering fixture in her children's existence.” “She is currently at the peak of her professional achievements, yet she remains a dedicated mother who places her children first. Her schedule is, in my opinion, incomparable to that of other active performers.”
Over recent years, Kidman has taken leading roles in successful television series such as Big Little Lies (which recently received official approval for its third season), Nine Perfect Strangers, and The Perfect Couple. She also featured in the 2024 productions Babygirl and A Family Affair. Her movie Holland debuted earlier this year, and she recently concluded filming for Practical Magic 2 alongside Sandra Bullock.
The demanding professional lives of Urban and Kidman contributed to their split, as they were “pursuing diverging paths,” an insider revealed to Us.
The informant elaborated, “Nicole had been attempting to reconcile their relationship and wished to keep the situation private. She confided in few about their true circumstances, internalizing this for several months.” “Both individuals had been dedicating significant time apart because of professional obligations, leading them to lead distinct existences. She and Keith lacked alignment.”
On Monday, September 29, Us verified that Kidman and Urban had parted ways following 19 years of matrimony. The couple exchanged vows in 2006, having first met in the preceding year.

The day after news of their separation broke, Kidman initiated divorce proceedings. Per legal records acquired by Us, Kidman stated “irreconcilable differences” as the grounds for the dissolution and sought designation as the “primary custodial parent” for her and Urban’s girls.
The paperwork additionally contained a marital settlement accord, endorsed by both Kidman and Urban. Their arrangement comprised a co-parenting strategy, provisions for child support, and a “parenting education directive.” Both Kidman and Urban concurred to keep their individual possessions and forfeited claims to alimony and ongoing child support. Nevertheless, a stipulation within the divorce filings indicated that Urban had “fulfilled all child support responsibilities in advance.”
As per the scheme presented to the court, Sunday and Faith are scheduled to reside with Kidman for 306 days annually and with Urban for 59 days, encompassing alternate weekends. The former couple committed to jointly making all significant choices concerning their offspring. Kidman will possess the “ultimate authority in decision-making” should “the parties fail to reach a consensus on a crucial matter for either minor child,” according to the outlined plan.
