Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have surprised their fans as the duo has separated after almost 20 years together. TMZ first shared the news, citing sources close to the couple. They say the pair have been living apart “since the beginning of summer.”
Nicole Kidman And Keith Urban’s Separation Was Not Mutual
Sources say the split was not mutual at all. Kidman has been trying to save the marriage, while Urban has already moved on. One source told TMZ, “Keith has acquired his own residence in Nashville and has moved out of their family home.”
Kidman is focusing on their two daughters and holding the family together through this difficult time since Keith has been gone. Another source told PEOPLE, “Nicole’s sister [Antonia] has been a rock and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another.”
The source added, “She didn’t want this. She has been fighting to save the marriage.”
It is not clear if the separation will lead to a divorce. Neither Kidman nor Urban has commented publicly. Fans are left wondering if the couple could reunite. A reunion is possible, but it would depend entirely on the couple and their willingness to rebuild their relationship.
Their Relationship Timeline
Kidman (58) and Urban (57) first met in 2005 at the G’Day USA gala in Los Angeles. Kidman has said she felt an instant connection. Urban reportedly waited a few months before calling her. By her birthday in June 2005, Kidman knew he was the one, especially after Urban surprised her with gardenias at her New York apartment.
The couple got engaged in May 2006 and married a month later at St. Patrick’s Estate in Sydney, Australia. Their wedding was romantic and celebrated with family, friends, and fans. Over the years, they were known for their affectionate and supportive relationship.
Kidman and Urban share two daughters: Sunday Rose (16) and Faith Margaret (14). Kidman has often said meeting Urban was “life-changing” and one of the greatest blessings of her life. Before marrying Urban, Kidman was married to Tom Cruise. They share two adult children, Bella and Connor.
The separation is a difficult time for the family. Sources say Kidman is leaning on her family while focusing on her children. Whether she and Urban will reunite remains uncertain.
