Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman Divorce: What the 37-Page Filing Reveals
After weeks of speculation, the divorce between Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman is now official, and the details, outlined in a 37-page court filing, provide insight into what led to the separation—and how their lives will move forward.
Not a Sudden Decision
Despite the public announcement being recent, documents reveal the split was planned months in advance. Keith signed the parenting agreement on August 29, while Nicole waited until September 29, the day her sworn oath was filed. This timeline suggests that both parties had been working on the divorce agreement for weeks, if not longer, before it became public.
Custody and Child Support
Keith and Nicole’s divorce includes a detailed parenting plan, which shows that Keith will see his daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, only about 59 days a year—primarily on Sundays and alternating weekends. While this may seem limited, Keith will still be very involved financially.
-
Keith has prepaid child support and nanny expenses well beyond legal obligations—estimated at $6,500/month until the girls turn 18.
-
No alimony is involved since both parties earn over $100,000/month.
Division of Assets
This might be the cleanest celebrity divorce on record:
-
All joint property—homes, furniture, artwork—was already placed into trusts or LLCs, and divided “to the mutual satisfaction of the parties.”
-
There is no dispute over personal items.
This indicates the couple had quietly untangled their finances months in advance—potentially as far back as early 2024.
The Reason: Irreconcilable Differences
As listed on page 17, the official reason cited for the divorce is “irreconcilable differences.” While rumors swirl—some suggesting Keith cheated or fell back into addiction—there is no confirmed evidence of any wrongdoing.
The media has been flooded with anonymous sources, but Keith Urban has yet to publicly address the allegations. Nicole Kidman’s camp appears to be controlling the narrative, and no formal statement has been released from either party.
What Comes Next
Keith Urban continues his music career, and is expected to appear on public platforms soon. A recent interview clip from March 2024 shows him dodging personal questions, but maintaining a light-hearted demeanor.
As one fan noted:
“It’s the cleanest, quietest breakup I’ve ever seen in Hollywood. Sad, but respectful.”
The couple’s fans and followers will be watching closely, not just for official statements, but for signs of how both will move forward—in public and in private.
