Deep Look: Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman Separate After Nearly Two Decades of Marriage
After 19 years of marriage, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have officially separated. The longtime couple — one of Hollywood’s most enduring duos — had reportedly been living apart for some time before the separation became public.
According to sources close to the couple, the decision appeared inevitable once Urban moved into his own home. “Their lives were moving in different directions, and once he quietly set up his own place, it felt like the writing was on the wall,” a source shared.
The Oscar-winning actress, 58, and the Grammy-winning country music star, 57, married in June 2006 and share two daughters: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Though no official statement has been made by either party, insiders reveal the couple’s inner circle had long suspected the end was near.
“It really hasn’t been a secret in their circles that Keith and Nicole have been living separately for a while now,” said the source. “People close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable.”
While Urban’s decision to move out marked a major turning point, another insider revealed that Kidman was not ready to give up on the marriage.
“She didn’t want this. She has been fighting to save the marriage,” the insider noted.
Amid the emotional shift, Kidman’s sister Antonia has reportedly been a vital source of strength.
“Nicole’s sister has been a rock, and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another,” the source added.
The couple was last seen in public more than three months before their split was confirmed. On June 20, 2025, they attended a FIFA Club World Cup match in Nashville, just five days before their 19th wedding anniversary. At the time, Kidman posted a loving Instagram tribute: “Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban,” alongside a photo of them cuddling.
But public appearances and social media posts masked growing distance behind the scenes.
Urban has been on tour throughout the summer, with his next show scheduled for October 2 in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Kidman, meanwhile, wrapped filming for Practical Magic 2 in London and spent time in the U.S. with her daughters and extended family. On August 19, she shared “summer memories” on Instagram featuring family moments with her girls.
A source close to the family said in August that Kidman and her daughters were “inseparable” throughout the summer.
“While Keith has been away on tour all summer, Nicole and her daughters have been inseparable, spending time together bonding,” the insider revealed. “Now the focus is back to school in Nashville, where Nic has been getting the girls ready for the new year.”
Kidman also shares two adult children — Bella, 32, and Connor, 30 — from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise. While she has remained focused on family, Urban’s time away appears to have solidified the emotional divide.
Though the couple’s representatives have yet to comment publicly, the circumstances surrounding the split have stirred wide speculation and support from fans.
Throughout their 19-year marriage, Kidman and Urban were often admired for their red carpet chemistry, collaborative support, and family-centered values. Yet, their recent lives suggest that even the strongest public unions are vulnerable to time, distance, and diverging life paths.
For now, both continue on their separate journeys — Urban on tour, and Kidman spending time with her children while preparing for upcoming projects.
