Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Separate After Nearly 20 Years of Marriage, Insiders Reveal

Hollywood icon Nicole Kidman and country superstar Keith Urban, one of the entertainment world’s most enduring couples, have reportedly separated after nearly two decades together. The pair, who married in 2006 and share two daughters, Sunday and Faith, have reportedly been living apart since early summer, according to multiple sources cited by TMZ.

While the public has long admired the couple for their stability and seemingly strong bond, insiders say the split has been largely driven by Urban, with Kidman actively attempting to preserve their marriage. “Keith has acquired his own residence in Nashville and has moved out of their family home,” one source revealed. Meanwhile, Kidman has remained focused on caring for their children and maintaining family cohesion during this difficult period.

The separation comes amid a period of extended physical distance between the two. Kidman has spent significant time in London, where she reportedly resides in what insiders describe as a “dream home,” while Urban has remained in Nashville. One source noted, “They make a big effort to speak every day when they’re apart, but it’s quite shocking how much time they’ve spent apart since Nic’s mother passed away last September. It’s like they both went their separate ways.”

Friends and insiders suggest that the death of Kidman’s mother last year played a substantial role in the growing distance between the couple. Historically, Kidman and Urban have been diligent about limiting periods apart to no more than two weeks, but that routine has reportedly broken down in recent months. “No one knows how long they can put up with this situation,” an insider said.

As of now, there is no official word on whether the couple plans to proceed with a formal divorce. For nearly 20 years, Kidman and Urban have navigated the pressures of public life, demanding careers, and family responsibilities, and fans worldwide are now witnessing a deeply personal and challenging chapter in their story.

While the future remains uncertain, those close to the couple say Kidman and Urban remain committed to co-parenting their daughters and handling the situation with care and discretion. The news of their separation is a poignant reminder that even high-profile relationships face trials behind the public spotlight.
