Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s 19-Year Marriage Ends in Surprise Split
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, two of the most recognizable names in entertainment, have officially ended their 19-year marriage. The couple, who first met in 2005 and tied the knot in 2006, confirmed their separation in late September 2025, marking a significant shift in their lives after decades of partnership.
The split came as a shock to fans, but insiders suggest that the relationship had been evolving over time. A source close to the couple told BroNews that “their lives were moving in different directions.” While both stars have continued to focus on their respective careers, the decision to part ways appears to have been mutual.
A Milestone Celebrated Just Before the Split
Interestingly, the couple celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary just three months before the news of their separation broke. On June 25, 2025, Kidman shared a heartfelt photo of them together on social media, captioning it, “Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban.” Urban, meanwhile, did not acknowledge the occasion publicly, though he had previously posted photos of the pair smiling together after winning the Triple Crown Award at the ACM Awards in May.
During his acceptance speech, Urban gave a touching nod to Kidman, saying, “My wife, Nicole Mary, is here tonight. I love you, babygirl.” This moment highlighted the deep bond the couple once shared, even as their paths began to diverge.
Kidman Fought to Save the Marriage
Despite the eventual split, sources revealed that Kidman was “fighting to save the marriage” before the final decision was made. One insider shared, “She didn’t want this. She has been fighting to save the marriage.” However, the couple ultimately reached a point where they could no longer continue as a married couple.
TMZ was the first to report the news, claiming that the pair had been living separately since the early summer. The separation seemed to be the result of growing differences, with one source describing it as “kind of inevitable” after Urban moved out of their shared home.
Family Support Amid the Emotional Transition
In the wake of the split, Kidman has leaned heavily on her family for support, particularly her younger sister, Antonia Kidman. A source told BroNews, “Nicole’s sister has been a rock, and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another.”
Meanwhile, Urban has continued his global tour, which has kept him away from home for much of the year. Kidman, on the other hand, remained in Nashville, Tennessee, where she has been spending quality time with her two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. During the summer, she was also filming Practical Magic 2 in the United Kingdom.
A New Chapter for Both Stars
Although neither Kidman nor Urban has publicly commented on the split, the decision to file for divorce on September 30 marked the official end of their marriage. The couple, who have shared two children together, now face a new chapter in their lives.
For Kidman, the focus has shifted to raising her daughters and continuing her acting career. She has expressed a deep connection to Nashville, where she feels at home among her friends and community. Urban, meanwhile, remains committed to his music and touring schedule.
As the couple moves forward, fans will likely continue to follow their journeys, watching how each navigates life after such a long and meaningful relationship.
