Nicole Kidman Files for Divorce from Keith Urban After 19 Years
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, one of Hollywood’s most admired couples, are officially going their separate ways after nearly two decades of marriage. The news has stirred a lot of emotions, given how long they’ve been together and how publicly supportive they have been of each other over the years.
According to court documents filed in Nashville, Kidman submitted the paperwork for divorce earlier this week, ending her 19-year marriage to the country music star. The filing cited “irreconcilable differences” and “marital difficulties” as the reasons behind the split. This confirmation came just one day after reports surfaced that the two had already separated.
The couple first met back in 2005 at the G’Day USA Gala in Los Angeles, a celebration of Australian talent. They married the following year in Sydney, Australia, in a ceremony that was widely covered and celebrated. Since then, their relationship has often been viewed as one of Hollywood’s stronger and more enduring marriages. They were frequently seen supporting each other at major events—Kidman at Urban’s concerts and Urban standing beside her at red-carpet premieres.

As part of the divorce proceedings, a parenting plan has already been put in place for their two daughters, Sunday Rose, now 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. The agreement designates Kidman as the primary residential parent, though both parents will share time with their daughters. Neither Kidman nor Urban is seeking child support from the other, which suggests an amicable arrangement focused on their children’s wellbeing.
It’s important to remember that both have been open in the past about the challenges they faced as a couple. Urban has spoken publicly about how Kidman supported him during a difficult period when he sought rehab early in their marriage, admitting that she stood by him at a time when things could have easily fallen apart. Just last year, he paid tribute to her during a ceremony honoring her career, saying she chose love despite every reason not to, a sentiment that highlighted the deep bond they once shared.
Their 19th wedding anniversary was celebrated as recently as June, when Kidman posted a heartfelt black-and-white photo of the two together, captioned with a simple but sweet message: “Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️.” That makes the timing of this divorce filing even more surprising for many fans who admired the couple.
Kidman, of course, also has two older children, Bella and Connor, from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise, further intertwining her personal story with some of Hollywood’s most recognizable names.
After almost two decades of marriage, the separation marks the end of a significant chapter in both Kidman and Urban’s lives. While the details are still unfolding, the focus for both seems to be on moving forward gracefully and keeping their family at the center of it all.
