After nearly 20 years of marriage, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s love story has come to a heartbreaking end. The Oscar-winning actress has officially filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences” and requesting primary custody of their two daughters.
Court papers revealed Kidman asked for an “absolute divorce” and listed September 30 as the official date of separation. Sources say she fought hard to save the marriage, but Urban quietly moved out, signaling the split was inevitable. “She didn’t want this…she has been fighting to save the marriage,” one insider shared.

Kidman is leaning on her family, including her sister Antonia, as she navigates this emotional chapter. Another source described her as “hurt and betrayed,” saying Urban had not been fully honest. Fans have flooded social media with shock, sadness, and prayers for the children, with one writing, “This is the post I never wanted to see.”
Married since 2006, the couple was once admired for their seemingly unshakable bond. Now, their separation raises a painful question: how can even the strongest-looking marriages crumble so suddenly?
