Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban split after 19 years together
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban separate after 19 years together, TMZ reports. They share two daughters.
After spending 2025 “in my shell,” Nicole Kidman is focusing on “what’s good” in 2026, months after she filed for divorce from her husband of 19 years, Keith Urban.
When asked if she’s “doing all right” in an interview with Variety published March 11, Kidman replied, “I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good.”
She continued, “What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
Kidman initiated divorce proceedings Sept. 30 in Tennessee. With the stars’ divorce finalized as of January, they are following a parenting plan in which the “Scarpetta” actress has primary custody of their daughters, 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 15-year-old Faith Margaret.
The teens will spend 306 days of the year with their mother and every other weekend with their father, according to the final decree of divorce, which was reviewed by USA TODAY. The estranged couple also agreed on an annual schedule that determines how their teen daughters will spend various holidays.
Urban and Kidman will be jointly responsible for making major decisions about their daughters while they are minors; Sunday Rose turns 18 on July 7. However, Kidman has “final decision-making authority” “in the unlikely event that the parties do not agree on a major decision for either minor child.”
Nicole Kidman is prioritizing time with her kids over some career goals
With both of her daughters in high school, Kidman feels it’s “not the time” to follow some of her more ambitious career goals.
“There are still things I want to do as an actor. I want to do theater again. I’ve done Broadway and the West End a couple of times,” she said. “But I’m interested in Off Broadway and even some regional theater at some point, like in Chicago.”
She continued, “Those things are different and exciting; you just need to get your children to a certain age to be able to do it. Right now is not the time for me to do that; I’ve got to take care of these kids. That’s sort of in my ‘future’ folder. I’ve got to fill this summer with kid stuff.”
Amid this upheaval, Kidman revealed she’s committed to staying in the Nashville area, where she and Urban have been living since around 2007.
“We have our life here. I’m part of the city and community for 20 years. It’s my home,” she said.
