Hollywood is reeling from the heartbreaking revelation that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban — one of the industry’s most cherished couples — are parting ways after nearly two decades of marriage. The Oscar-winning actress has officially filed for divorce, marking the end of a 19-year union that many once described as a fairytale.
According to TMZ, Nicole Kidman has taken the first official step in ending her marriage by filing for divorce. Sources close to the couple claim that they had quietly separated months ago, around June, though the public only learned of it now. The split, insiders say, was reportedly initiated by Keith Urban. While Nicole had apparently hoped for reconciliation, those hopes faded when the country singer allegedly showed no interest in repairing their relationship.
What has fueled further speculation is talk around Nashville that Keith Urban may already be seeing someone new. A source told TMZ, “It’s all over Nashville,” suggesting that Keith’s new relationship has become an open secret in their social circle. Although the exact timeline of this rumored romance remains unclear — and there’s no official confirmation — several insiders believe “all signs point” to Keith moving on. Reportedly, the singer has also rented a separate home in Nashville, further hinting at a fresh start away from Nicole.
Nicole and Keith first met in January 2005 at the G’Day LA gala — a celebration honoring Australians in Hollywood. Though Keith initially hesitated to approach her, their connection soon grew undeniable. Just over a year later, in June 2006, they exchanged vows in a romantic ceremony in Sydney, surrounded by family, music, and prayer.
Their marriage faced challenges early on when Keith entered rehab for substance abuse treatment just months after their wedding. Nicole’s support through that time was pivotal, and the couple often credited each other for their personal growth and healing. They went on to build a quiet, grounded life in Nashville, raising their two daughters — Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14 — away from the chaos of Hollywood.
Over the years, Nicole and Keith became symbols of enduring love in an industry often defined by fleeting relationships. They spoke often about how their bond had helped them overcome loneliness and fame’s pressures.
Neither Nicole nor Keith has made a public statement addressing the divorce or the rumors surrounding it. However, Nicole’s official filing seems to mark the final chapter in one of Hollywood’s longest-running marriages. Fans worldwide are expressing heartbreak, remembering them not just as stars — but as a couple who once embodied hope, resilience, and devotion amid fame’s spotlight.
It’s unclear how the two will move forward, but one thing is certain: the end of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s marriage marks the close of a truly significant Hollywood love story.
