Separation confirmed by TMZ and others
In a development reported by TMZ and echoed by other American outlets, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated after nearly two decades of marriage. The tabloid and entertainment press say Urban moved into his own residence early this summer, but there is no official confirmation about divorce. A representative did not respond to requests for comment, and insiders caution that Kidman may be seeking to salvage the relationship before any legal steps are taken.
What is known so far
The couple, who tied the knot in 2006, have been a staple on red carpets and at film premieres, often seen together at galas and industry events. Reports indicate that Urban moved out from the couple’s shared home at the start of summer, raising questions about the status of their marriage. While some sources suggest a formal split could be on the horizon, others say Kidman is exploring options to reconcile. Until the couple or their representatives speak publicly, the situation remains fluid.
Family life and careers
Kidman and Urban share two teenage daughters, and the actor-producer has two adopted children with her ex-husband Tom Cruise. The pair have balanced demanding careers with family life, a dynamic that has captivated fans for nearly two decades. Professionally, Kidman has been involved in high-profile projects and awards-season contenders, including an upcoming role connected to the long-discussed Practical Magic universe alongside Sandra Bullock. Urban, meanwhile, has continued to tour and release music, maintaining his status as a leading voice in country music.
Career highlights and public recognition
Kidman’s career is marked by a rare collection of critical and popular success. She earned an Academy Award for The Hours (2003) and has won multiple Emmys for her work on the series Big Little Lies. Her filmography also includes Moulin Rouge!, Rabbit Hole, and other acclaimed titles, with recent years bringing new thrillers and dramatic roles that keep her at the forefront of Hollywood. Urban has earned four Grammy Awards, recognizing a string of hit songs that helped define modern country music, from romantic ballads to high-energy anthems. Together they have remained one of the most recognizable couples in entertainment, a dynamic now under public scrutiny as their personal lives navigate this uncertain moment.
What this could mean for the future
With no official statement, the future of the marriage remains uncertain. Separation rumors can place a spotlight on personal choices, but they can also fuel renewed attention to their joint and separate projects. For fans, the key question is whether the pair will pursue reconciliation or proceed with separate lives while maintaining a strong co-parenting relationship. In the interim, both Kidman and Urban are expected to continue with their respective professional commitments, while the public awaits further updates.
