Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have been in the spotlight this week following the announcement of their divorce. So far, neither has made any public comments, and just days after the filing, Kidman has been spotted in public for the first time.
On Tuesday, September 30, Nicole Kidman initiated divorce proceedings against Keith Urban. The paperwork includes a request for marriage dissolution, which is now awaiting a judge’s approval.
After 19 years of marriage, Kidman and Urban are parting ways, but sources suggest that this may not have been a mutual decision.
Their separation is becoming quite dramatic. “Nicole is hurt and feels betrayed,” a source shared with People Magazine. “She wanted to salvage their marriage and believed it was possible, but it appears he has already moved on.”
Another insider mentioned, “Their lives were heading in different directions, and once [Urban] quietly established his own residence, it felt like the end was near. It hasn’t been a secret among their friends that Keith and Nicole have been living apart for some time. Those close to Keith felt that the split was somewhat unavoidable.”
The couple has two children, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, and they mainly reside in Nashville. While divorces can often be contentious, both Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have chosen to prioritize what truly matters: their children. As a result, they have created a parenting plan that both parties have agreed upon.

“The mother and father will interact with each other and with each child in a way that fosters a loving, stable, consistent, and nurturing relationship, despite their divorce,” stated the permanent parenting plan.
“They will refrain from speaking negatively about one another or about the other parent’s family members. They will support each child in continuing to love the other parent and feeling at ease in both families.”
Neither Keith Urban nor Nicole Kidman has publicly commented on the divorce, nor have their representatives issued any statements. However, Nicole Kidman has now been spotted in public for the first time since the divorce filing.
The Daily Mail has captured images of Kidman hiking with her sister, Antonia. The star of Moulin Rouge! and Big Little Lies was dressed in a grey baseball cap, a matching zip-up jacket, black leggings, and large sunglasses.
As Nicole navigates this difficult period, a source informed People Magazine that her sister and family have been incredibly supportive.
“Nicole’s sister [Antonia] has been a pillar of strength, and the entire Kidman family has united to support each other,” they shared, adding about Nicole, “She didn’t want this. She has been striving to save the marriage.”
