Nicole Kidman is ending her marriage to Keith Urban. The Oscar-winning actress filed for divorce from the “Blue Ain’t Your Color” musician in Nashville court on Tuesday, according to online case records reviewed by Entertainment Weekly. EW has reached out to reps for comment, but so far there’s only silence.
A day before the filing, PEOPLE confirmed the couple’s separation. A source told the outlet that Kidman “didn’t want this,” adding that the Moulin Rouge star “has been fighting to save the marriage.” It sounds like this was not an easy choice.
Looking Back on Love and Loss
They first met at the G’Day USA gala in Los Angeles in 2005. She was instantly smitten; he took his time calling. “He didn’t call me for four months,” Kidman recalled on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2017, laughing at the memory. When they finally did connect, a whirlwind romance led to a June 2006 wedding and the birth of two daughters: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
Nearly two decades later, this pairing—once as solid as they come—now hits a rough patch. Kidman, 58, had previously been married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001, but her union with Urban always seemed different, more grounded. This summer, they chased separate dreams: Kidman wrapped filming Practical Magic 2 in London alongside Sandra Bullock, while Urban spent months on his High and Alive World Tour promoting his 2024 album, High.
Despite busy schedules, they celebrated their 19th anniversary on June 25 with a tender Instagram snapshot—Kidman resting her head on Urban’s shoulder in a dressing room. “Happy Anniversary Baby,” she captioned it. Fans thought they were still going strong, didn’t they?
Public Moments and Private Struggles
July offered a glimpse of tension when Urban abruptly disconnected a radio interview in Australia after being asked about Kidman’s love scenes with Zac Efron in her film A Family Affair. His rep later dismissed the incident; a PEOPLE insider called it a “complete nothingburger.”
Then TMZ reported that Urban moved out of their Nashville home and found his own place in the city. It’s the kind of late-night whisper that leaves you wondering: could they ever find their way back?
What lies ahead? Only Kidman and Urban know. Could they reconcile, or is this chapter truly closed? We’ll be watching.
