Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban separate after nearly two decades together

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have ended their marriage after 19 years together, according to recent reports. The split was first revealed by TMZ on September 29, citing sources close to the couple who said that they have been living apart since early summer 2025. Kidman, an Academy Award-winning actress, and Urban, a country music star, began dating in 2005 and married in Sydney in June 2006. Together, they share two daughters: Sunday Rose, aged 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Kidman also has two children from her previous marriage to actor Tom Cruise.

The couple has been in the headlines for various reasons during the past year. In February, their Los Angeles home was broken into on Valentine’s Day while they were away. Neither Kidman nor Urban was harmed, but the burglary attracted significant media attention. Later in July, Urban cut short a radio interview after being asked about his wife’s intimate film roles, further pushing the duo into the spotlight.

Kidman recently reestablished herself as a leading performer with her acclaimed performance in the erotic thriller ‘Babygirl,’ which critics praised for its complexity and boldness. In December 2024, she spoke candidly about almost retiring from acting following the birth of her first child, saying motherhood temporarily shifted her focus toward family life. Both Kidman and Urban have previously expressed deep admiration for each other in interviews, with each crediting the other for personal and artistic growth. Their separation marks the end of one of Hollywood and country music’s most high-profile relationships.
