Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Divorce: A Look at Their 20-Year Marriage and Split

Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce from Keith Urban after nearly two decades of marriage. The couple, both Australian superstars in their respective fields of acting and music, cited "marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences" in the court documents. Kidman and Urban, who have been a prominent couple on the red carpet for 20 years, have agreed on a parenting plan for their two daughters, with Kidman being the primary residential parent. The divorce proceedings indicate a mutual agreement on the division of assets, with each keeping their own earnings and royalties. The divorce is expected to be finalized in at least 90 days under Tennessee law. Despite public displays of affection and support for each other, the couple's separation came as a surprise to many. Kidman and Urban met in 2005 and were married in 2006, marking Urban's first marriage and Kidman's second after her marriage to Tom Cruise. Their split was reported shortly after Urban's heartfelt tribute to Kidman at an awards ceremony. Both Kidman and Urban have had successful careers in their respective fields, with Kidman winning an Academy Award and Urban being a Grammy-winning country music artist.
