After nearly two decades together, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have announced the end of their marriage, marking one of Hollywood’s most shocking splits. On September 30, 2025, Kidman officially filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” What once seemed like an unshakable bond had quietly unraveled behind the scenes.
According to sources close to the couple, the separation had been building for months. Urban reportedly moved out earlier this summer, signaling both a physical and emotional divide. Despite counseling and long talks, Kidman’s efforts to save the marriage ultimately failed, leaving her “devastated and betrayed.”
Rumors have since swirled about tension between the two, from conflicting schedules to emotional distance and alleged infidelity. “Nicole feels deeply betrayed,” one insider claimed. “She’s trying to stay composed, but this has cut her to the core.” Urban has since thrown himself into his music, resuming his tour and avoiding public comment.
The divorce papers reveal that Kidman is seeking primary custody of their daughters, Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14), with Urban maintaining visitation and shared decision-making. Friends say both girls are struggling to cope, with Sunday reportedly “heartbroken” and Faith becoming more withdrawn.
Just days after filing, Kidman appeared at a charity gala, stunning in black and showing grace under pressure. Urban, meanwhile, has immersed himself in work, which some see as his way of coping — or escaping.
Their split marks the end of a Hollywood fairytale that began in 2005 and inspired fans for years. Once the picture of love and stability, the couple now faces a painful divide that even fame couldn’t shield.
As both stars move forward, they remain focused on healing and protecting their daughters’ privacy. What’s left behind is not just a broken marriage — but the quiet close of a love story once thought everlasting.
