Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly ending their nearly 20-year marriage. According to Radar Online, the couple has been living apart “since the beginning of the summer,” with Urban allegedly making the decision to separate. Kidman, meanwhile, is said to be trying to “hold the family together through this difficult time since Keith has been gone,” caring for their daughters, Sunday and Faith.
An insider claimed: “Keith has acquired his own residence in Nashville and has moved out of their family home.” Tension between them reportedly grew after Kidman’s mother passed away last year, with the source noting, “It’s like they both went their separate ways and now she’s getting comfortable in a dream home in London on the other side of the world.”
Reports also suggest Urban has been uncomfortable with Kidman’s steamy on-screen roles. During a July radio interview, he was asked how he felt about her love scenes with co-stars like Zac Efron, but his team abruptly “disconnected from Zoom.” A source added, “Keith is clearly not happy about what Nicole is doing… the couple is at a breaking point unless Nicole gives up sex scenes. They clearly send him mad with jealousy.”
Fans remain shocked by news of the split.
