Nicole Kidman Files for Divorce from Keith Urban After 19 Years of Marriage
Nashville, September 30, 2025 – After nearly two decades together, Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman has officially filed for divorce from country music star Keith Urban, citing irreconcilable differences and marital difficulties.
Kidman submitted the divorce paperwork in Davidson County Circuit Court, Tennessee, requesting to be named the primary residential parent of their two daughters: Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14).
A Love Story Comes to an End
The couple first met at a G’Day USA event in 2005 and tied the knot in Sydney, June 2006. Their relationship, long admired in Hollywood and Nashville alike, was often described as one of the more grounded celebrity marriages.
However, sources close to the family report that the couple had been growing apart since earlier this summer. With Kidman’s busy film projects and Urban’s constant touring schedule, the two reportedly struggled to maintain intimacy, leading to emotional distance in the marriage.
Key Turning Point
Insiders note that Urban’s move into his own Nashville residence marked a pivotal moment in the separation. Although Kidman is said to have made efforts to salvage the relationship, both ultimately agreed the marriage could no longer be sustained.
Parenting Plan for Stability
Despite the split, the couple has put their children first. A detailed parenting plan has been established to provide stability for Sunday and Faith as they navigate this new chapter of family life.
Rumors and Reactions
Recent tabloid speculation hinted at possible outside influences on the breakup, including Urban’s friendship with John Mayer. However, no confirmed reports of infidelity have surfaced.
On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), fans expressed shock at the divorce news, with some criticizing media outlets for allegedly portraying Kidman in an unfairly negative light.
Moving Forward
While the divorce marks the end of one of Hollywood’s most admired unions, both Kidman and Urban are expected to continue focusing on their careers and co-parenting their daughters.
