Nicole Kidman Reveals the Real Reason Behind Her Divorce from Keith Urban After Nearly 20 Years of Marriage

After 19 years of marriage, Nicole Kidman has officially filed for divorce from Keith Urban, ending one of Hollywood’s most admired relationships. Court documents cite irreconcilable differences, with September 30, 2025, listed as their separation date. Kidman is requesting primary custody of their daughters, Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14), while Urban will have limited visitation rights.

Both agreed to waive spousal and future child support, attend co-parenting seminars, and refrain from speaking negatively about each other in front of their children. Despite the amicable legal terms, the split is said to be emotionally painful for both.

According to insiders, Kidman fought hard to save the marriage, while Urban slowly distanced himself. Earlier this year, he reportedly moved out of their Nashville home, signaling the end. Sources close to the family revealed that Kidman was “devastated and blindsided” when rumors emerged that Urban may already be seeing someone else.

Fans began speculating months ago after noticing subtle signs of trouble—Urban’s distant tone in interviews, fewer public appearances together, and Kidman’s solo red-carpet outings. Still, Kidman continued to post affectionate tributes, hoping to preserve what remained.

“She didn’t want this,” one insider shared. “She believed their love was strong enough to fix things, but he’d already checked out emotionally.” Those close to Kidman describe her as heartbroken but determined to move forward with dignity.

Currently, Kidman is focusing on her daughters and personal healing, spending more time with family and close friends. Urban, meanwhile, remains on tour, maintaining a low profile as the news spreads.

Their marriage, once a beacon of mutual respect and affection, has ended not in scandal but in quiet heartbreak.

Though their romantic journey is over, both remain united in their shared commitment to their children and family stability.
