Sept. 30 2025, Published 1:53 p.m. ET
Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Keith Urban, after 19 years of marriage, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The actress and singer tied the knot in 2006 and share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
While sources claimed Kidman, 58, desperately fought to save her marriage before Urban, 57, moved out of their Nashville home – and allegedly already has a new girlfriend – the Babygirl star was ultimately the partner who decided to make their separation official.
Kidman 'Didn't Want' Her Marriage to End
Kidman and Urban had been living separately for months before their split was announced.
Although it remains unclear what reason Kidman cited on her filing at this time, an insider reportedly claimed she was "blindsided" by Urban wanting to go their separate ways and allegedly believes he may be "already involved with another woman."
As RadarOnline.com reported, the couple was said to have been living separately "since the beginning of summer."
When news of their separation broke, a source reportedly said the Big Little Lies star "didn't want this" and had been "fighting to save the marriage" for several months.
Kidman and Urban's Divorce Felt 'Inevitable' to Singer's Inner Circle
An insider claimed the couple living separately 'really hasn't been a secret' among the singer's inner circle.
Rumors about Kidman and Urban's nearly 20-year marriage being on the rocks have swirled for months now.
Kidman has been busy filming Practical Magic 2 in the UK, renting out a luxury mansion all for herself, while Urban has been thousands of miles away on tour in North America.
While the separation stunned fans, a well-placed insider claimed divorce was inevitable as the physical – and emotional – distance between the couple "really hasn't been a secret" among the singer's inner circle.
The insider added: "People close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable."
Kidman Praised Urban Just Months Before The Split
Four months ago Kidman gushed over Urban and praised her parents for setting an example of a 'long-lasting, successful relationship.'
Just four short months ago, Kidman gushed over her marriage to Urban and how "fortunate" she was to have him as a partner for almost two decades.
Kidman credited her late mother Janelle, who died at age 84 last September, for providing an example of how to build a "long-lasting, successful relationship" in an emotional op-ed for the Sydney Morning Herald.
She wrote: "In my father (the late Antony Kidman, who died in 2014), I just saw a man who loved my mother, which was the most beautiful thing to grow up watching.
"He was so loving to her and devoted to her and was such a good man. They married very young and made it to 50 years, which is a feat."

Kidman and Urban tied the knot in 2006 and share two teenage daughters together.
Urban and Kidman often spoke about their love and devotion for one another, through good times and bad, over the course of their 19 years as husband and wife.
Before the 2024 Met Gala, Kidman said she's able to work through the nerves of the high-profile event by "(having) my man with me."
Last April, Urban shared how Kidman supported him through his addiction battle during a speech honoring her at the 2024 AFI Life Achievement Award Gala.
He said: "We got married in June 2006 and barely four months into our marriage, my addictions… that I’d done really nothing about, blew our marriage to smithereens.
"I had no idea what was going to happen to us… and if you want to see what love in action really looks like, give that a whirl.
"Nic pushed through every negative voice, I'm sure even some of her own and she chose love. And here we are tonight, 18 years later."
