Sources say the couple, who married in 2006, have been living apart “since the beginning of summer”, and that the split was Keith’s decision.

On Tuesday, 30 September, Nicole Kidman filed for a divorce from Keith Urban, citing irreconcilable differences.

According to TMZ, Nicole has been taking care of her and Keith’s two daughters since their split, and working on “holding the family together through this difficult time.”

The pair’s children, Sunday and Faith, are 17 and 14 years old respectively.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman first met in January 2005 at an event celebrating US and Australian relations, and the pair began dating a few months later.

The Australian-American stars married in June 2006 in Sydney.

They have since regularly been seen supporting each other at high-profile events, from film premieres to album tours, and all manner of awards shows.

The pair were most recently spotted together at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup game in Nashville in June 2025.

Prior to that, Nicole supported her husband at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards in May, where Keith was awarded the prestigious ACM Triple Crown Award.

Since May this year, Keith has been busy on his High and Alive World Tour, which has led to him spending a lot of time away from his family.

Nicole, meanwhile, spent this summer in London filming the highly anticipated sequel to her and Sandra Bullock’s 1998 film, Practical Magic.

Before marrying Keith, Nicole was married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001, and the pair share two adopted children: Isabella and Connor.
