Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, after 19 years of marriage, have separated and Nicole has filed for divorce. The split appears to have been initiated by Keith, who had quietly set up his own residence in Nashville while they had been living apart since early summer 2025. The separation reportedly stemmed from the strain caused by their busy careers and spending too much time apart, leading to a lack of intimacy and them "just going through the motions" of marriage. Nicole was reportedly blindsided and wanted to save the marriage, but Keith had to express that he was unhappy. Despite the separation, there remains some hope they might reconcile, though the current state is that they are not a couple. Nicole has filed legal documents for divorce, including custody arrangements for their two daughters, and the divorce is expected to take at least 90 days to be finalized under Tennessee law. Keith may have moved on with another woman after the split according to some reports, though this is less confirmed. Overall, the marriage ended due to growing apart over time and different life directions despite years of love and mutual support.
