Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, long considered one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples, are officially divorcing after reportedly living apart since before the summer. While Kidman filed for divorce earlier this week, insider sources reveal that Urban tried to save the marriage.
Although no official reason for the split has been given, speculation points to tension over Kidman’s career. After taking a step back from acting while raising their daughters, Sunday and Faith, Kidman returned to film and television in recent years. Sources say she “truly thrived working again” and felt “amazing” about her renewed career.
However, according to a family insider, Urban “was used to her being supportive of his career” and hasn’t been as encouraging as she had hoped. This may have contributed to growing cracks in their relationship. Court documents reveal Kidman will become the primary residential parent for their daughters, who will spend 306 days a year with her and 59 with Urban. Both parents are required to attend a parenting seminar within 60 days of the filing, and Urban has prepaid all child support obligations.
The filings also highlight a prenup clause giving Urban $600,000 for every year he abstained from drugs and alcohol during the marriage, which could total over $11 million. Despite the divorce, both Kidman and Urban appear committed to co-parenting their children while moving forward with their lives. The split underscores the challenges of balancing personal relationships with the demands of high-profile careers in the entertainment industry.
