For years, Kidman and Urban seemed like one of Hollywood’s most solid couples. The actress and the country music star married in 2006 and built a life that many fans believed would last forever. During their marriage, they welcomed two daughters — Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

Over the years, the pair often appeared together on red carpets and spoke publicly about their love and admiration for each other. That’s why the news of their separation shocked so many.

After 19 years of marriage, the couple decided to part ways, as reported by TMZ.

At first, very little information about the breakup was shared. Both stars kept quiet, leaving fans wondering what had happened behind the scenes.

Later, reports revealed that Kidman had filed for divorce in Nashville citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was officially finalized in early 2026, according to E! Online.

Even then, neither of them publicly addressed the emotional side of the split. Until now.

In a recent interview, Kidman was asked directly how she has been coping since the separation. Her answer was honest — but also surprisingly calm.

“I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good,” the actress said when asked if she was doing all right.

It was the first time she openly reflected on life after the end of her marriage.

However, Kidman made it clear that her focus today is not on the breakup itself. Instead, she is concentrating on what still matters most.“What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward,” she explained.

And she also made it clear that some things will remain private. “Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect,” Kidman said. The actress noted that protecting her loved ones is more important than sharing personal details publicly.

Then she shared a message that revealed how she views her relationship with Urban today:

“I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be.”

Kidman also spoke lovingly about the two daughters she shares with Urban: “My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”

The actress hinted that watching them grow up has become one of the most important parts of her life.

Previously reported that Kidman has been leaning on her close family during this difficult time. Sources say her sister Antonia and other relatives have been a strong support system as the actress navigates the end of her long marriage. According to insiders, Kidman had hoped to save the relationship before the couple ultimately decided to separate.
