Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are ending their marriage after 19 years. The high-profile couple, long seen as one of Hollywood’s most enduring pairs, have reportedly been living apart for several months. While Kidman filed for divorce earlier this week, sources suggest she had been trying to save the relationship prior to taking legal action.

Though no official reason for the split has been confirmed, insiders point to growing distance, both emotional and logistical. Kidman has significantly increased her acting commitments in recent years, following a period where she stepped back from work to raise their daughters, Sunday and Faith. The loss of her mother in late 2024 reportedly inspired her to return to her career more fully.

Kidman spoke in a past interview about nearly retiring from acting, but her mother had encouraged her to “keep a finger in it.” Since then, Kidman has enjoyed renewed success across film and television. A source close to the family claims the actress has felt revitalized and supported by her daughters, who are proud of her professional achievements.

On the other hand, tensions may have emerged over career dynamics. According to a source, Urban may have struggled with the shift in balance as Kidman’s work took center stage. He was reportedly accustomed to her supporting his musical career and may not have adjusted easily to the new dynamic.

Court documents show Kidman has requested to be the primary residential parent, a proposal Urban has agreed to. Under the terms, the children will spend the majority of the year with their mother. Both parents are required to complete a parenting seminar, and Urban has reportedly fulfilled all financial responsibilities related to child support.

A notable detail in their prenup may entitle Urban to over $11 million, linked to a sobriety clause spanning the duration of their nearly two-decade-long marriage.
