The separation between Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban surprised many fans when it became public in late 2025, ending a marriage that had lasted nearly two decades. Kidman filed for divorce on September 30, 2025, in Nashville, citing irreconcilable differences. Reports suggested the couple had already been spending long periods apart due to their demanding careers. While Kidman was filming Practical Magic 2 in London, Urban was traveling internationally for his High and Alive World Tour. Following the announcement, Kidman kept a low profile and focused on her family, particularly her daughters, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban and Faith Margaret Kidman-Urban. Meanwhile, Urban’s name appeared frequently in media coverage as rumors circulated about possible new relationships connected to musicians who had toured with him, though none of those reports have been officially confirmed.

Kidman finally addressed the situation publicly in an interview with Variety published in March 2026. Her comments were brief but thoughtful, emphasizing her focus on family and moving forward. She explained that despite the end of the marriage, maintaining a sense of unity for her children remained important. Kidman also reflected on the past year, describing it as a period when she stayed mostly out of the spotlight while dealing with personal matters. Now, however, she says she is ready to move ahead with renewed energy. Her upcoming projects include the Prime Video series Scarpetta, the third season of Lioness, and the highly anticipated return to the world of Practical Magic alongside Sandra Bullock. With a busy professional schedule and a renewed focus on her family, Kidman appears determined to begin a new chapter while keeping the details of her private life respectfully out of the public spotlight.
