Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, long seen as one of Hollywood’s most admired couples, have filed for divorce after 19 years of marriage. Kidman cited “irreconcilable differences,” a move that surprised many fans. Reports now detail the separation and how the former couple is preparing for the future.

Court documents list their official date of separation as September 30, 2025. Sources say Kidman initially hoped to repair the marriage, but Urban had begun creating distance by moving out. Their signed agreement addresses custody for their daughters, ages 17 and 14, with Kidman as the primary residential parent. While they waived spousal support, Urban has “prepaid child-related expenses,” reflecting a shared commitment to stability for their children.

The parenting plan emphasizes mutual respect, requiring that “neither parent speak negatively about the other” and encouraging both to maintain close bonds with their daughters. The agreement also includes co-parenting classes to help them navigate the transition together. Friends note that the emotional process has been difficult, with Kidman leaning on her family for support.

Despite the end of their marriage, both appear focused on moving forward while prioritizing their family. Kidman has been channeling energy into her career and children, while Urban continues touring and recording music.

Their separation highlights a desire to manage change with care. Though the divorce closes a long chapter, the story is also “one of two parents determined to create stability and respect in the next stage of their lives.”
