Following the initial shock and sadness expressed online after reports confirming their split surfaced, a media outlet has divulged that the actress's family is supporting her through this difficult time.

In a devastating turn that's left fans stunned and Hollywood reeling, Nicole Kidman is facing the emotional fallout from her shocking split with country music superstar Keith Urban — and now, the painful behind-the-scenes truth is beginning to emerge. A new report has peeled back the curtain on how Kidman's inner circle is rushing to her side as her world falls apart.

'Nicole's Sister Has Been a Rock': The Actress's Family Rallies in Support

According to a source who spoke to People magazine, Kidman is finding solace in the warm embrace of her tight-knit family as she navigates this gut-wrenching chapter of her life. "Nicole's sister [Antonia] has been a rock and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another," the insider shared.

In a moment of rare vulnerability, the source also laid bare the depth of Kidman's anguish, adding, "She didn't want this. She has been fighting to save the marriage."

This glimpse into her private struggle underscores just how invested the actress was in trying to keep her union with Urban intact, despite the challenges that ultimately led to its unraveling after 19 years.

How the Public Is Taking the Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Split

As Nicole Kidman leans on her family during this deeply personal chapter, the public fallout from the split has been equally intense. News of the separation quickly gained traction, prompting a wave of emotional responses from fans and followers across social media platforms.

Reactions were a combination of disbelief and sadness as the story spread. "I did not see this coming. They seemed so in love with each other," one netizen posted.

A second expressed the same sentiment, saying the separation was unexpected because they had such a beautiful and solid marriage. "This is the post I never wanted to see 😢," a third shared.

Some netizens insisted they had long predicted trouble, pointing to Kidman's recent on-screen roles as a possible source of strain. "With all those insane movies she's been making lately Iam not surprised…[sic]," someone else observed.

Another remarked, "Watching the last couple of movies she's made I don't blame him. Specially 'Baby Girl' [sic]." A different commenter chimed in with, "I figured that was coming with the way her last couple of movies have been."

Others were more emotional, with one person saying, "Praying, they can work out their differences." One heartbroken commenter simply stated, "So sad for the children 💜."

According to TMZ on September 29, 2025, the couple has been living apart since early summer, when sources say Urban quietly moved out of their Nashville home and into a separate residence.

What Reports Are Saying About the Split

The report paints a painful picture of a marriage breaking down — and not by mutual decision. As to why, a source claimed it was Urban who initiated the separation, catching those close to the couple off guard.

Kidman, who is now living with their two children, aged 14 and 17, has been doing her best to keep things stable for the family since he left.

In recent months, however, there have been subtle signs of strain — and increasing public tension. While the pair maintained a united front in past appearances, more recent moments suggested a shift behind the scenes.

Back in July, Urban abruptly ended a live interview after being asked about Kidman's recent acting roles involving intimate scenes. The moment unfolded during a segment on Australia's Mix 102.3 radio show "Hayley & Max in the Morning," where he was promoting his High and Alive World Tour.

According to Radio Today, co-host Max Burford questioned Urban about how he felt seeing his wife in steamy scenes with younger male co-stars, including Zac Efron.

What began as lighthearted banter took a sharp turn as Urban's team immediately disconnected the call without any explanation. The hosts were left stunned. "Oh...why has that happened? What's just happened here?" Burford asked.

"Did he just hang up on us?" co-host Hayley Pearson questioned, later adding that she had expected the situation and believed they had "upset him." Buford said, "I thought we were vibing with Keith," but Pearson replied, "He doesn't like talking about his wife...because it's private...He hates us."

After the interview was cut short, Pearson said she had never experienced a guest hanging up during a live segment before. She appeared frustrated that the question had upset Urban. Burford responded by questioning why she hadn't stopped him from asking it if she expected a negative reaction.

Gush Galore from Nicole Kidman on the Couple's Anniversary, and Radio Silence from Keith Urban

Despite the reported tensions, Kidman publicly marked their wedding anniversary on June 26, sharing a black-and-white photo on Instagram in which she's seen embracing Urban. Her caption reads, "Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban."

In contrast, Urban made no public acknowledgment of the milestone. His Instagram page at the time focused solely on his music — featuring live performance shots, promotional content, and behind-the-scenes glimpses from the road.

The singer's final post featuring Kidman is dated May 9, when the couple appeared together after the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards, where he received the prestigious Triple Crown Award. In the photo, Urban is seen smiling while holding the award, with Kidman seated beside him in the car.

Urban's caption expresses, "TRIPLE CROWN !!! it [sic] was a surreal feeling and truly humbling honor to be recognized at the @acmawards last night, and a triple-sized, massive thank you to @megmoroney, @chrisstapleton, and @brothersosborne for your insanely inspired performances last night during the show. I LOVED every second of it !!!"

Just over a year prior, in April 2024, Kidman spoke about their relationship during an interview with People magazine for its 50th anniversary issue. When the interviewer mentioned her support system, she responded, "They're just lovely people and I'm so lucky that I have Keith, who's just my love, my deep, deep love."

The couple, who wed in 2006, was frequently seen showing affection at public events. No divorce filings have been made, but the future of the marriage remains uncertain.
