Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are divorcing after 18 years of marriage: what is the reason.

According to The Sun: They seemed to be one of the most powerful couples in Hollywood, married for almost two decades and always showed their love on the red carpet.

However, the news of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's separation shocked the world of show business, as it was long evident that tension had been building between them.

Interestingly, 'Babygirl' is the nickname Keith calls his wife; his tattoo occupies space on his neck.

Nichole's Creative Period

Probably, after participating in the erotic thriller 'Babygirl', where she plays a CEO in love with a young intern, Nicole, 58, experienced some sexual awakening. In the film, the heroines have relationships that involve BDSM.

Nicole describes working on the film as 'liberating': “Many times, women are written off after a certain age. So it was very beautiful to see myself in such a light.”

Although the passionate scenes negatively affected her emotional state, Nicole noted: “There were times when I thought: ‘I don’t want to have orgasms anymore.’”

Her shoots with young colleague Harris Dickinson, 29, took place right after the steamy scenes with Zac Efron, 37, in the Netflix film 'Family Affair'.

The film's director, Richard LaGravenese, noted their chemistry: “They were very comfortable with each other. They knew what they were doing. They had no limits.”

Relationship Struggles

Keith, 57, reacted very emotionally to questions about his wife's romantic scenes during a radio interview last summer. When asked, “What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with young men like Zac Efron?”, he did not respond and quickly ended the conversation.

They were last seen together in June at a FIFA match. The couple tries to communicate daily, but in recent months they have spent much time apart, particularly after the death of Nicole’s mother last September.

Although Nicole and Keith have yet to comment on their likely separation, sources claim that he initiated the split due to dissatisfaction with the relationship.

“There was no intimacy between them anymore; they were just existing in marriage.”

Nicole, on the other hand, was perplexed and sought to preserve their union. But, according to sources, Keith 'called her on the carpet,' expressing his dissatisfaction.

According to sources, Keith tried to keep his feelings about Nicole and her 'openness' in films in check, but these topics gradually became a real problem.

Pressure in Relationships

While Nicole is receiving attention due to new bright roles, Keith seems indifferent to his physical changes. After the last awards appearance, it is noticeable that he has undergone certain facial changes.

Experts believe that his recent appearance changes may be a result of the pressure to look young, as he is married to one of the most beautiful women in the world.

“The pressure of being the husband of one of the most beautiful women on the planet has affected Keith and influenced his level of insecurity.”

Tragic Loss

Just four months ago, Nicole shared how “happy” she feels as they approach the 20th anniversary of their marriage. But after the loss of her mother and spending time with the children, Keith likely decided to leave their shared home in Nashville.

There have been difficulties in their marriage. The day after their wedding, Keith began using drugs again, leading to hospitalization.

“I was unsure if Nicole could give me a chance.”
