Nicole Kidman seemingly addresses her divorce from Keith Urban in a new interview. The actress opens up about her current life and future plans while keeping things civil for their family.
Nicole Kidman has appeared to address her recent separation from country music star Keith Urban with a heartfelt statement, amid reports of their divorce earlier this month. The couple, who married in 2006, has reportedly been separated since the beginning of summer, with TMZ breaking the news.
While neither Kidman nor Urban has directly confirmed the details, sources close to the couple have shed light on their current situation. According to anonymous sources, Kidman, 58, has been keeping the family together through this challenging time, while Urban, 57, has moved into his own residence in Nashville.
Separation and Parenting Arrangements

Court documents obtained by People revealed that Kidman has requested to become the primary residential parent of their two daughters, 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 14-year-old Faith Margaret. This arrangement, which Urban has reportedly agreed to, will see Kidman spending 306 days per year with their daughters, while Urban will have custody for 59 days.
Despite the separation, Kidman and Urban seem committed to maintaining an amicable relationship for the sake of their children. Both parents have agreed not to speak negatively about each other to the media and have vowed to encourage their daughters to love both parents equally. The divorce proceedings also include a requirement for both to attend a parenting seminar within 60 days.
Kidman’s Candid Reflections on Life and Career
In a recent interview with Vogue, Kidman was asked about her thoughts on life in her 50s. Without explicitly referencing Urban, she said, “How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?” This seems to be her way of addressing the changes in her life, including the separation.
Kidman also discussed her career, emphasizing her commitment to choosing roles that challenge her and push her boundaries. She stated, “Taking a risk is what I’ve always done. You get back up and you try again and you learn … I still go back to shoestring indie filmmaking because it was where I was born.”
A Civil Separation
Although the separation marks the end of their 16-year marriage, it doesn’t appear to be a messy or contentious divorce. Both Kidman and Urban have reportedly agreed to handle the separation with maturity and civility, focusing on co-parenting their daughters without involving the press in their personal issues.
Kidman signed the divorce papers on September 6, while Urban signed a week earlier, on August 29. Neither party has publicly commented on the reasons behind their split, and no further details have been disclosed.
