Nicole Kidman Files for Divorce from Keith Urban After 19 Years of Marriage

Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce from Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. The 58-year-old Oscar-winning actress submitted the petition on September 30, 2025, in a Nashville court. The couple, both originally from Australia, married in 2006 and have two daughters, aged 17 and 14. According to the divorce filings, Kidman will serve as the primary residential parent, with Urban having visitation rights. Both parties have agreed to retain their respective assets and royalties, and neither will seek spousal or child support. The divorce is expected to be finalized within 90 days, as per Tennessee law.

Reports indicate that the couple had been living separately since early summer. Urban, 57, reportedly moved out of their shared Nashville home, while Kidman remained with their daughters.

In a performance on September 26, just days before the divorce filing, Urban altered the lyrics of his song "The Fighter," originally inspired by his relationship with Kidman. During the concert, he changed the line "When they're tryna get to you, baby I'll be the fighter" to "When they're tryna get to you, Maggie I'll be your guitar player," referring to his 25-year-old guitarist, Maggie Baugh. Baugh shared the moment on Instagram, captioning it, "Did he just say that👀."

While the exact reasons for the split remain private, sources suggest that Kidman felt "very betrayed" by Urban and that the separation has been "devastating" for her.

The couple's relationship had previously faced challenges, including Urban's stint in rehab shortly after their marriage in 2006. Despite these hurdles, they were often seen supporting each other's careers at various public events.
