Current reports state that Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce from her longtime husband and musician, Keith Urban. The filing follows the couple's separation in June 2025. At the time, the actress reportedly wanted to save the marriage. However, her husband, who initiated the separation, did not share the same sentiment.

A source revealed, "She didn't want this," referring to Kidman's stance ahead of their separation. "She has been fighting to save the marriage." The insider also shared that the actress's family had been providing support during the separation.

They said, "Nicole's sister [Antonia] has been a rock and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another."

The document was signed by two notaries, one for Urban dated August 29, 2025, and another for Kidman, signed on September 6, 2025. Despite her apparent desire to save the marriage, the actress allegedly took the next step by filing for divorce on September 30, 2025.

Kidman cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce. She also stated her wish to remain the "primary residential parent of the minor children." The couple waived any spousal or child support, although a clause notes that Urban has already prepaid "child support obligations."

According to the parenting plan, the children will spend 306 days with their mother and 59 days with their father. Both celebrities agreed to make all major decisions concerning their children jointly, including those related to education and health care.

Both stars will retain their individual assets, which suggests they had a prenuptial agreement in place. According to the same publication, individuals within the couple's inner circle and their Nashville, Tennessee community believe that Urban has moved on with another woman.

Sources close to Kidman claim, "All the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman. Let's just say, Nicole doesn't dispute that, but she's still shocked over it." Another insider connected to the actress added, "It's all over Nashville."

However, the sources could not confirm when the alleged relationship began. If the rumors are true, it is possible the relationship only started after the separation. The singer has reportedly moved on and is now renting a home in Nashville.
