why are keith urban and nicole kidman separated

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have separated after 19 years of marriage, with the split reportedly initiated by Keith Urban due to his unhappiness in the marriage. The main reasons cited are their intense work schedules keeping them apart—Keith being on tour and Nicole filming movies—and a growing coldness and lack of intimacy between them. Nicole Kidman was reportedly blindsided by the split and has been trying to save the marriage, while Keith openly expressed that he was not happy. They have been living separately since the beginning of summer 2025 but continue to co-parent their two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. There remains a possibility that the separation could bring them back together, but currently, they are no longer a couple functioning as a married pair.
