Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Separate After Nearly 20 Years of Marriage
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, one of Hollywood’s most admired power couples, have reportedly separated after almost two decades together. The news has shocked fans around the world, as the Academy Award–winning actress and the Grammy-winning country music star were often seen as a symbol of love, commitment, and longevity in the entertainment industry.
According to Variety, the split was confirmed on Monday night, with an unnamed source telling the New York Post, “Sometimes relationships just run their course.” Reports from TMZ add that the couple have been living apart since June, despite Kidman sharing a heartfelt anniversary photo on Instagram with Urban that same month to celebrate their wedding milestone.
Urban, 57, is believed to have moved out of the couple’s Nashville home. Meanwhile, Kidman, 58, is said to be heartbroken and determined to save their marriage. A source told People: “She didn’t want this. She has been fighting to save the marriage.”
Kidman and Urban married in Sydney in June 2006, less than a year after meeting at the annual G’Day USA gala in January 2005. Their nearly 20-year union produced two daughters, Sunday Rose, now 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Both parents have largely shielded their children from the spotlight, choosing to raise them with as much privacy as possible despite their high-profile careers.
This is Kidman’s second marriage. She was previously married to Tom Cruise from 1990 until 2001. Together, Kidman and Cruise adopted two children, Isabella “Bella” Jane, 32, and Connor Antony, 30. Urban, for his part, had never been married before his relationship with Kidman but was known for his successful career as a country music superstar with hits that span decades.
The separation comes as a surprise to fans who often admired the couple’s public displays of affection and unwavering support for each other’s careers. Over the years, Kidman frequently credited Urban with helping her through challenging times, while Urban has spoken openly about how Kidman stood by him during his struggles with addiction.
While neither Kidman nor Urban has made an official statement about the split, the news has sparked widespread conversation about the pressures of maintaining a marriage under the glare of fame. Fans around the globe are expressing sadness but also hope that the couple might still reconcile.
Whether this separation proves temporary or permanent, there is no doubt that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s relationship has left a lasting impression on Hollywood and beyond. Their journey together — from meeting at a gala in 2005 to nearly 20 years of marriage — remains a significant chapter in both of their lives.
