Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Announce Divorce: What Caused It.

According to The Sun: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have decided to part ways and have been living separately for some time, sources report.

TMZ writes that the stars have taken a break from their marriage, citing insider confirmation.

According to TMZ, the couple has been living separately since the beginning of summer.

Sources report that their daughters are currently in Nicole's custody, who 'continues to support the family during this difficult time,' while Keith is absent.

The reasons for the divorce are not disclosed, but it is said that it was not Nicole's initiative — she wanted to preserve the relationship.

Insiders also note that 'Keith has rented an apartment in Nashville and has left their family home.'

The couple lived in Nashville, Tennessee, with their daughters, who are now teenagers.

Nicole is also the mother of two older children she adopted during her marriage to Tom Cruise.

According to sources, Nicole tried to work on the marriage, but Keith initiated the divorce.

Despite maintaining communication, a noticeable distance has emerged between them in recent months.

Nicole has spent much time in England shooting the sequel to 'Practical Magic,' spending $87,288 a month to live in a luxury villa of Boy George without Keith.

A source told Women’s Day about their schedule: “They try to communicate daily, but it's striking how much time they've spent apart since Nicole's mother passed away last September.

Family Tragedy

Nicole urgently left the Venice Film Festival following the news of her mother’s death, Janelle Ann, who passed away at 84 years old.

Her father, Anthony Kidman, passed away in 2014 at 75 years old.

In January, Nicole couldn’t hold back tears during her acceptance speech at the Palm Springs International Film Awards, recalling the loss of her parents.

Nicole continues to work on numerous television and film projects, just as Keith, who is set to start a tour in the USA as part of his High and Alive World Tour.

Shortly before news of the split became public, Keith was announced as the headliner for the Lakefront Music Fest 2026 in Prior Lake, Minnesota.

The couple's last public appearances, including the FIFA Club World Cup in Nashville in June, showed them happy and smiling at each other during the match.

The day before, they attended the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards in Frisco, Texas, where they demonstrated closeness on the red carpet and during the show.

A True Love Story

The romance between Nicole and Keith resembled a fairy tale. In 2013, the star of 'Real Couple' told reporters that meeting the former American Idol judge changed her life after a decade-long marriage to Tom.

“I would say that two very lonely people met at a moment when they could open up to each other,” she recalled.

“We were both scary and brave.”

Despite rumors of infidelity, Keith went through rehabilitation, encouraged by Nicole, and apologized for causing her pain.

As of the time of writing, neither has commented on the divorce news.

The couple married in 2006.

The divorce of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban comes as a big surprise to fans, as they previously seemed happy together. This situation demonstrates that even in the most successful relationships, difficulties can arise. In light of recent events, particularly Nicole's mother's death, calls to preserve the family take on special significance. It's important to follow the developments and the couple's reactions, as their marriage has always drawn public interest.
