Keith Urban refers to her first public statement about their divorce after 19 years of marriage, released in March 2026. In her breakthrough interview, Kidman shared the painful truth: she didn’t want the split and fought desperately to save their marriage.

Kidman filed for divorce in September 2025, citing “marital difficulties and irreconcachable differences”. The divorce was finalized on January 6, 2026. She described feeling “devastated” and “blindsided” when separation news broke, as Keith had already moved apart from their Santa Monica home.
The central issue: separation due to conflicting careers. A source explained that “Keith never sees Nicole, either she is filming or he is on tour”. Their lives had become so disconnected that by late summer 2025, they were living separate lives, with the “writing on the wall”. In early summer 2025, Keith got “his own place,” marking the turning point.
Kidman said she is now “grateful” for her family and “refreshed and optimistic” about her future. She requested to be the “primary residential parent” of daughters Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (15), receiving 306 days annually versus Keith’s 59 days. Both waived spousal and child support while retaining individual assets.
