Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman: A 19-Year Marriage Ends Amid Busy Careers and Emotional Distance
In a development that has stunned fans, Nicole Kidman filed for divorce from Keith Urban, marking the end of their nearly two-decade-long marriage. The filing came just five days after Nicole was seen still wearing her wedding ring. Citing irreconcilable differences, the actress was granted primary custody of their two teenage daughters.
Sources close to the couple reveal that Nicole is devastated by the split, having tried everything to save the relationship. Meanwhile, insiders say Keith felt emotionally unsupported and had already been living separately in Nashville since early summer.
Despite the heartbreak, both remain focused on their demanding careers. Keith is on tour and co-hosting the upcoming CBS music competition series The Road with Blake Shelton. Nicole, despite announcing plans to take a break, remains deeply committed to multiple film and TV projects, including the recently wrapped Practical Magic 2.
Their love story was once a source of inspiration, with Keith channeling their romance into hits like “The Fighter” and “Once in a Lifetime.” In public, he had often called Nicole his “extraordinary partner,” while she praised him as her emotional rock.
As they move forward separately, the legacy of their 19-year marriage — built on music, movies, love, and family — will remain deeply etched in the hearts of their fans.
