Nicole Kidman initiates divorce proceedings from Keith Urban.

Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce from Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The couple, both hailing from Australia, met in 2005 and married a year later. They have two daughters: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Court documents indicate that Kidman will be the primary residential parent, with the children spending 306 days a year with her and 59 days with Urban. They will jointly make significant decisions regarding their daughters’ education and healthcare. Neither party is seeking spousal or child support, and they will retain rights to their respective assets, including copyrights and royalties.

The separation was first reported in late September, with Urban moving out of their Nashville home. Sources suggest that Urban primarily initiated the decision to end the marriage, despite Kidman’s attempts to preserve it. Throughout their relationship, they appeared to be a supportive couple, attending various film and music events together. However, challenges existed, notably Urban’s past struggles with substance abuse. In a 2016 interview, Urban acknowledged Kidman’s unwavering support during his rehabilitation journey, emphasizing her commitment to love through difficulties.

Divorce proceedings are anticipated to take at least 90 days to finalize under Tennessee law. Despite their separation, both Kidman and Urban have expressed a commitment to co-parenting their daughters and maintaining a respectful relationship for their well-being. This situation reflects a significant transition for both parents as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
