Country superstar Keith Urban and his award-winning wife, Nicole Kidman, have called it quits after nearly two decades of marriage. The two seemed very happy in love, especially after welcoming two daughters. So, what went wrong? Keep reading for more details.
Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman Split After 19 Years
Nicole Kidman was a part of an A-list marriage when she was with Tom Cruise. They had two children, Connor and Isabella, but ended the relationship after eleven years. No one was all that surprised, and her star went on to shine brightly away from Cruise. She then began dating fellow Aussie, Keith Urban, and the two tied the knot in 2006, just five years after her divorce. Nicole was immensely supportive of Keith and all of his ups and downs. The duo was consistently a shoulder to lean on and share two daughters, Sunday and Faith, who completed their family.
Sadly, that has all come to an end as Keith and Nicole split after nearly twenty years of marriage. So, what went wrong when they seemed so much in love? As it turns out, this did not just happen, as they have been broken up since the summer. She has been extremely busy, filming Practical Magic 2, and shared a send-off to the fun film. However, Nicole also honored Keith with an anniversary tribute in June 2025. In the post, which featured a snap of the couple, Nicole wrote:
- “Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban.”
Nicole’s friends and followers loved the sentiment and likely had no idea that there was trouble in paradise. Keith Urban has been working on his own projects, but they have always reunited and shared a deep love. Sadly, that is no longer, and it is devastating for Nicole Kidman, who shared a Franklin, Tennessee, mansion. Allegedly, it was Keith who pulled the plug on the marriage, and she is seeking solace in her family. She would do anything to reunite with Keith, but he is done with the marriage and moving on.
A Shocking Split
Many fans and followers who learned about Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s split were shocked. They had no idea that there were any struggles despite the couple being on two different paths. Nicole and Keith were always very business and career-focused, but that worked for them. Amid news breaking that it was over, many chimed in with their thoughts and reactions:
- Nooooooo say it isn’t so! They always were the pillar of a successful marriage. I know appearance can be fake but they seemed so genuine.
- I’m honestly shocked, sad to hear
- It just goes to show us that celebrities can and do put on good fronts and pose & smile for the cameras when they’re probably screaming inside.
Hopefully, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban can remain amicable for their children. It is still devastating to learn about their split.
