Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have filed for divorce after 19 years of marriage, bringing an end to one of Hollywood’s longest and most admired partnerships. Court filings in Tennessee cite “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of the separation. Representatives for both confirmed the news, stating that the couple had been living apart for several months, describing the decision as mutual and respectful.
According to the filings, Kidman has requested primary custody of their two daughters, Sunday and Faith, with Urban agreeing to the proposed arrangement. The plan outlines that the children will reside mainly with their mother, while both parents share responsibilities for their upbringing. Neither party is seeking spousal support, which insiders say reflects their cooperative approach to finalizing the divorce.
In the years leading up to the split, both stars continued to focus on their careers and family life. Kidman has taken on major film and television projects following the loss of her mother in 2024, while Urban has maintained an active touring schedule and released new music internationally. Those close to the pair say their demanding schedules occasionally kept them apart but that they always prioritized family connection.
Despite the end of their marriage, both Kidman and Urban have expressed a shared commitment to raising their daughters in a stable and supportive environment. Legal documents indicate that they will complete a required parenting seminar as part of the proceedings. Friends close to the couple describe the separation as deeply respectful — a quiet conclusion to a relationship built on love, cooperation, and lasting care for their family.
