Nicole Kidman Seen in Public for the First Time Since Keith Urban Split

In the wake of her split from the country music star, the "Big Little Lies" actress is moving forward, leaning on family, facing a legal end to her marriage, and enduring speculation about what tore the couple apart.

Nicole Kidman has emerged in public for the first time since the shocking revelation of her divorce from Keith Urban, ending a 19-year marriage that had captivated fans worldwide. The 58-year-old actress was spotted hiking in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday, accompanied by her sister, Antonia Kidman.

In exclusive photos published by the Daily Mail, she wore a fitted sports top, sleek leggings, and a baseball cap pulled low over her strawberry-blonde hair. Kidman cut a casually elegant figure, walking near the $4 million mansion she once shared with Urban and their children.

According to the outlet, the Australian star appeared to be in good spirits, laughing and gesturing animatedly during the four-mile trek. At times, she linked arms with her sister, who has become her support during this life-changing moment.

Fans Rally Online amid Signs of Strength

Online, fans wasted no time showing support. On Facebook, one person observed, "She looks happy." Another user offered a stinging assessment, writing, "Poor Nic. She put up with his addictions!" Others focused on empowerment and resilience, with one commenter cheering, "Good for her his loss [sic]," and another adding, "You go girl."

Some claimed the split came as no surprise, with one Facebooker suggesting, "She's fine they have been apart all ready all summer [sic]."

Another predicted the truth would eventually surface, posting, "There's always has been three sides to every situation or story eventually the truth will come out [sic]."

One fan noted the emotional toll of nearly two decades together unraveling, "After 19 years together, that's a huge change. Good to see Nicole leaning on family and finding strength through it." Another encouraged the actress to stay strong, writing, "Head up, Nicole…head up!!"

Court Documents Reveal the Divorce Is Already in Motion

Though Kidman's hike reflected resilience and familial support, the situation behind the scenes is far more complex, revealing the formal steps she and Urban have already taken to end their marriage. Court filings now confirm that Kidman officially moved to dissolve the marriage in the aftermath of their June 2025 separation.

Though she was reportedly willing to work things out, Urban was not. A source close to the situation stated, "She didn't want this," referring to Kidman's reluctance to part ways. "She has been fighting to save the marriage."

Custody and Parenting Plan Already Signed

In a sobering turn, a Marital Dissolution Agreement reviewed by TMZ confirms the couple has already sorted out legal details involving their two daughters — Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14). The documents include a parenting plan, a child support worksheet, and a Parenting Seminar Order.

The agreement was signed by two notaries, one for Urban, dated August 29, 2025, and another for Kidman, signed on September 6, 2025. On September 30, Kidman formally filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."

She also expressed her intention to retain primary custody of the children. Interestingly, both parties waived spousal and child support, though the filing mentions that Urban fulfilled his child support obligations in advance.

According to the plan, the girls will spend 306 days per year with Nicole Kidman and just 59 days with their father. The parents agreed to share joint decision-making on matters of education and health care. Both stars will also retain their individual assets.

Rumors of Another Woman Emerge

Sources close to the pair told the same publication that Urban may have already moved on, allegedly renting a new home in Nashville and spending time with another woman.

However, none of the sources could pinpoint when this new relationship may have started. It remains unclear whether Urban's alleged new romance began before or after the couple's separation.

Although nearly two decades of marriage may have ended, Kidman's resilience, coupled with the public's encouragement, suggests she is determined to step into this next chapter with strength and grace.
