Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Divorce
Nicole Kidman has officially submitted for divorce from Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage, as confirmed by People. This news comes a day after it was confirmed that the couple had separated. Kidman and Urban share two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, who are now 17 and 14 years old.
A Long-Lasting Marriage
Urban and Kidman married in Sydney, Australia, in June 2006, after meeting at the G’Day USA Gala in Los Angeles a year earlier. They became one of Hollywood’s most visible power couples, often attending each other’s events. Urban frequently visited Kidman’s film events, including premieres and award ceremonies like the Oscars and Emmy Awards. Kidman also attended Urban’s concerts and other music events. The two were seen together on the red carpet at the Academy of Country Music Awards in May 2025 and in Nashville in June.
Overcoming Struggles
In the early months of their marriage, Kidman staged an intervention for Urban amid his struggles with alcohol abuse. Urban entered rehab and has credited Kidman with being instrumental in his rehabilitation and sobriety. When Kidman received the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award in 2024, Urban gave a tribute speech, highlighting the positive influence she had on his life when they met.
A Tribute to Their Love
Urban has spoken about the challenges they faced in their marriage, saying, "Four months after we got married, I’m in rehab for three months. I had no idea what was going to happen to us… and if you want to see what love in action really looks like, give it a whirl." He has also praised Kidman, saying, "She is raw, but resilient; she is serious and a complete idiot. She also has a little mantra, ‘she chose love’… She has the ability to love like no one I’ve ever met."
A Celebration Cut Short
Kidman and Urban celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary in June, with Urban marking the occasion by posting a black and white photo of the couple hugging on Instagram, captioned "Happy Anniversary Baby." Despite their long-lasting marriage, the couple has now decided to go their separate ways, leaving fans shocked and saddened by the news.
