Keith Urban And Nicole Kidman Call It Quits After 19 Years Of Marriage – Details
Before it was revealed that they had chosen to live apart, the dissolution of one of Hollywood’s most well-known marriages had been subtly simmering for months.
The announcement that country musician Keith Urban and “Babygirl” star Nicole Kidman, one of the entertainment industry’s most lasting power couples, had split up after 19 years of marriage sent social media into a frenzy of shock.
Reactions flooded social media with disbelief and sadness as the story spread. “I did not see this coming. They seemed so in love with each other,” one netizen posted.
A second expressed the same sentiment, saying the separation was unexpected because they had such a beautiful and solid marriage. “This is the post I never wanted to see ,” a third shared
Some netizens insisted they had long predicted trouble, pointing to Kidman’s recent on-screen roles as a possible source of strain. “With all those insane movies she’s been making lately Iam not surprised…[sic]” someone else observed.
Another remarked, “Watching the last couple of movies she’s made I don’t blame him. Specially Baby Girl [sic].” A different commenter chimed in, “I figured that was coming with the way her last couple of movies have been.”
Others were more emotional, saying, “Praying, they can work out their differences.” One heartbroken commenter simply stated, “So sad for the children .”
The couple has reportedly been living apart since early summer, when Urban discreetly slipped out of their Nashville house and into a another property, according to TMZ on September 29, 2025.
An agonizing picture of a marriage disintegrating—and not by mutual choice—is presented in the report. According to a source, Urban was the one who started the split, surprising many close to the couple.
“She didn’t want this…She has been fighting to save the marriage,” a source told People. Kidman, who is now living with their two children, aged 14 and 17, has been doing her best to keep things stable for the family since he left.
However, there have been subtly noticeable indications of stress in recent months, along with a rise in public tension. Even while the two put on a united front during previous appearances, more recent events seemed to indicate a change behind the scenes.
When asked about Kidman’s recent intimate scene acting jobs, Urban abruptly halted a live interview back in July. During an appearance on Australia’s Mix 102.3 radio program “Hayley & Max in the Morning,” he was promoting his High and Alive World Tour when the incident occurred.
Urban was asked by co-host Max Burford, according to Radio Today, how he felt about his wife appearing in sultry scenes with younger male co-stars like Zac Efron.
What began as lighthearted banter took a sharp turn as Urban’s team immediately disconnected the call without any explanation. The hosts were left stunned. “Oh…why has that happened? What’s just happened here?” Burford asked.
“Did he just hang up on us?” co-host Hayley Pearson questioned, later adding that she had expected the situation and believed they had “upset him.” Buford said, “I thought we were vibing with Keith,” but Pearson replied, “He doesn’t like talking about his wife…because it’s private…He hates us.”
Pearson claimed she had never had a guest hang up during a live section before after the interview was cut short. She seemed annoyed that Urban had been offended by the inquiry. In response, Burford asked why, if she anticipated a negative response, she hadn’t stopped him from asking.
On June 26, Kidman celebrated their wedding anniversary in public by posting a black-and-white image of herself hugging Urban on Instagram, despite the rumored tensions. According to her caption, “Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban.”
Urban, on the other hand, did not publicly recognize the achievement. At the time, his Instagram site was entirely dedicated to his music and included behind-the-scenes photos from the road, promotional material, and live performance photos.
After Kidman won the coveted Triple Crown Award at the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards, the singer posted a final picture of the two of them together on May 9. In the picture, Kidman is seated next to Urban in the car, and Urban is shown grinning while clutching the prize.
Urban’s caption read, “TRIPLE CROWN !!! it was a surreal feeling and truly humbling honor to be recognized at the @acmawards last night, and a triple-sized, massive thank you to @megmoroney, @chrisstapleton, and @brothersosborne for your insanely inspired performances last night during the show. I LOVED every second of it !!!”
Kidman discussed their romance in an interview with People magazine for its 50th anniversary issue in April 2024, little over a year earlier. Her response to the interviewer’s mention of her support network was, “They’re just lovely people and I’m so lucky that I have Keith, who’s just my love, my deep, deep love.”
After being married in 2006, the couple was regularly spotted displaying their love at public gatherings. Although no divorce papers have been filed, the marriage’s future is still up in the air.
