Nicole Kidman, 58, and Keith Urban, 57, have separated after nearly two decades of marriage, with sources citing busy careers and a lack of intimacy as key factors. The couple, known for their red-carpet chemistry, quietly drifted apart in recent months.

A source revealed to the Daily Mail: “Keith never sees Nicole—she’s either filming or he’s on tour. The intimacy faded, and they were just going through the motions.” Urban reportedly initiated the split, expressing his unhappiness, while Kidman was “blindsided” by his decision. Though divorce isn’t confirmed, reconciliation remains uncertain.

The pair share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Kidman has been caring for them in Nashville, where the family owns a $4 million estate, while Urban tours globally. He recently moved into a separate Nashville home, according to TMZ.

Career Demands Strain Relationship
Kidman spent summer 2025 in London filming Practical Magic 2, renting a luxury mansion once owned by Boy George. Urban’s High and Alive World Tour kept him abroad, with performances scheduled through fall. Insiders noted their time apart grew after the 2024 death of Kidman’s mother, exacerbating their disconnect.

Tensions Surface Publicly
In July, Urban abruptly ended a radio interview when asked about Kidman’s steamy scenes in films like Babygirl. Meanwhile, Kidman hinted at marital imperfections during a 2024 press tour: “There’s no perfect anything. If something’s presented as perfect…forget it.”

Despite challenges, friends hope time apart might rekindle their bond. “They’ve been together decades—maybe this separation helps,” a source said.

Kidman was previously married to Tom Cruise (1990–2001), with whom she adopted two children. Urban and Kidman’s reps have not commented on the split.

As the holidays and Urban’s October birthday approach, all eyes are on whether this Hollywood power couple can repair their fractured romance.
