Nicole Kidman Opens Up About Divorce from Keith Urban: Prioritizing Family and Moving Forward
Nicole Kidman recently spoke out about her divorce from Keith Urban, expressing her thoughts on the end of their nearly two-decade marriage. In an interview with Variety, the Academy Award-winning actress shared her perspective on the breakup, emphasizing her focus on moving forward and ensuring stability for their family. This marks the first time Kidman has publicly addressed their separation since finalizing their divorce earlier this year.
Kidman highlighted her commitment to maintaining a strong family structure for their two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. Despite the end of their marriage, the actress underscored the importance of both parents working together to co-parent and prioritize their children. The parenting arrangement designates Kidman as the primary residential parent, with the daughters primarily residing with her and Keith Urban having parenting time three out of four weekends.
The former couple opted for an amicable resolution to their separation, choosing to avoid a lengthy legal battle. They agreed not to engage in motions for discovery on assets or debts, a phase in divorce proceedings that often prolongs cases. Reports of Kidman and Urban living apart surfaced in September 2025, with the couple reportedly beginning their separation earlier that summer. Despite their public appearances together, speculation about their relationship status grew, leading to Kidman filing for divorce through attorneys in September.
The divorce was finalized in January 2026, marking the official end of Kidman and Urban's marriage. Throughout the process, both parties remained focused on co-parenting and ensuring the well-being of their children. Despite the challenges of their separation, Kidman's statement reflects her commitment to moving forward and maintaining a positive family dynamic for their daughters.
