Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban End 19-Year Marriage in Quiet Divorce
Hollywood power couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have officially ended their 19-year marriage, finalizing their divorce in a private settlement. The announcement comes after the couple first separated in 2023, marking the end of a long and celebrated relationship that began in 2004.
Background: A Love Story That Captivated Fans
The pair first met in 2005 at a charity event in Nashville, Tennessee, and tied the knot in June 2006 in Sydney, Australia. The marriage was a second one for both—a first for Kidman after her high-profile divorce from Tom Cruise, and a second for Urban after his first marriage to actress Natalie Imbruglia.
Throughout their time together, the couple welcomed two daughters—Sunday Rose (born 2008) and Faith Margaret (born 2010) via surrogacy. They often spoke about their strong bond, with Kidman once describing Urban as "the love of my life." The duo maintained a private relationship, shielding their family life from excessive media scrutiny.
Key Developments: Separation and Divorce Proceedings
In February 2023, rumors of their separation surfaced, though neither publicly confirmed the split. By June 2024, the couple had officially filed for divorce in the U.S. state of California, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized in a swift and amicable process, with both parties reportedly agreeing on custody and financial arrangements.
Sources close to the couple suggest that the split was mutual and respectful, with no public disputes or legal battles. Both Kidman and Urban have remained tight-lipped about the details, focusing instead on their individual careers and family commitments.
