When Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban announced their separation, a lot of people were shocked. The two seemed like a rock-solid couple for almost two decades. Then, rumors started swirling that the divorce was Urban’s idea and that though Kidman was willing to fight for the marriage, he was not.

That’s not all that’s come out since then. There have reportedly also been issues between Urban and his two daughters, who seemed to have taken their mother’s side. And recently, reports indicate the singer might be having second thoughts about the divorce.

It all comes after Urban attended the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas last month, with multiple of his tattoos on display. And one in particular caught people’s attention. On each finger of his left hand, you can read letters that spell out the word “Mary”, Kidman’s middle name. Her initials, “NMK”, are also tattooed on Urban’s inner right wrist. Then there’s the word “Babygirl”, a nod to her 2024 movie, tattooed across his neck.

“There’s rolling up your sleeves for work and there’s rolling up your sleeves to make sure your ex knows you haven’t removed her tattoos,” a source told Woman’s Day.

“After years of being discreet about his tattoos, it’s revealing that since his divorce, Keith has put them on full display. There have even been rumours that he’s recently touched up the tattoos that were dedicated to Nicole.”

It could all point to a desire for reconciliation. “It certainly confirms what a growing number of friends say, in that he has big regrets over this divorce and he’d take her back in a moment if she would have him.”

However, Kidman is reportedly not interested, with sources saying she “is very aware” of his signals and “she’s not going to go back to him”.

“It’s probably why she seems to be avoiding him,” adds the source. “But it’s not making this situation with his girls any better. And it’s not like Keith is going to disappear quietly.”

However, for the sake of their daughters, sources say it’s likely the two will sit down soon. “She’s got the message loud and clear with his tattoos and big reunion dreams, and she needs to clear the air soon,” the source said. “She’s worried about how this is affecting Sunday and Faith, and the attention they’re both getting now they’re almost adults, Nicole’s beginning to see the value of having their father around.”

“She has no interest in getting back with Keith, but she wants him as a functioning dad to their girls. She’s thinking about a friendly sit-down with him to go through her concerns.”

This comes after a June 2 report from Woman’s Day claimed the couple’s daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, are fighting over the divorce. Faith was reportedly “furious” with Sunday for unfollowing (and later refollowing) Urban on Instagram.

“Faith was always a bit of a daddy’s girl and she’s missing him being in her world 24/7,” the source explained. “She doesn’t like all this conflict and feeling like she has to take sides. She was furious that Sunday would take such a public step.”

“Poor Faith is confused by how two people can go from being loving and supportive for years to where things are now,” they said. “She knows her mum needs her right now, but she’s also worried about her dad, who doesn’t have the same support network around him Nicole does,” the source added.

Nicole Kidman’s Life After Divorce

Nicole Kidman remains booked and busy with numerous projects, yet she still finds peace, dedicating time to her children and herself following her divorce from Keith Urban.

On June 20, Nicole Kidman celebrated her 59th birthday. Marking the occasion on Instagram, she posted a photo of herself smiling in the sunlight, captioned: “Another year around the sun. Thank you for all the sweet love and wishes.” In the comment section, she received a flood of well-wishes from fans and colleagues, including A-list stars Natalie Portman and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Her ex-husband, singer Keith Urban, also took to his Instagram Stories to wish her a happy birthday, addressing her as Nicole Mary (the actress’s full name is Nicole Mary Kidman). According to InStyle, this marks a rare public interaction between the former couple since they finalized their divorce in January.

The Oscar winner filed for divorce in September 2025, ending a marriage of nearly 20 years. Returning to single life, Kidman has maintained her status as one of Hollywood’s premier A-listers, with several upcoming projects on her slate, including the series Scarpetta (which premiered on March 11), Margo’s Got Money Troubles (April 15), and the feature film Practical Magic 2 (set to hit U.S. theaters on September 11).

In addition to those projects, Nicole Kidman returns in the action series Lioness Season 3, starring alongside Zoe Saldaña. Having also appeared in the previous two seasons, her latest work is scheduled to stream on Paramount+ on August 2.

In an interview for the feature, Kidman shared that she has never viewed time as a limitation and doesn’t dwell on her age. “Life is constantly evolving and changing. I feel that if you constantly focus on getting older, you end up creating so many barriers for yourself. It’s better to try new things, keep up with the times, live bravely, and remain excited about what’s next,” she said.

Speaking to Variety in March, Nicole Kidman made a rare comment about her personal life, including her post-divorce reality. The actress stated she is doing well because she always focuses on the positive. Kidman also reflected on 2025 as a challenging period during which she withdrew and lived more quietly than before, but noted she is now ready to “step out of her shell.” Photo: Variety

Beyond the film industry, Nicole Kidman holds a prominent status in the fashion world, collaborating closely with luxury fashion houses and cosmetics brands such as Chanel and Clé de Peau Beauté. In May, she and her 18-year-old daughter, model Sunday Rose, attended the Met Gala, marking Sunday’s debut at the prestigious event. This year, Kidman was selected as one of the four main co-hosts for the gala, alongside Beyoncé, Venus Williams, and fashion tycoon Anna Wintour.

Despite her demanding work schedule, the actress prioritizes time for her family, particularly her two daughters, Sunday and Faith, 16. In January, the trio embarked on a trip to Antarctica. In her conversation with Vogue, she shared that she rediscovered her inner peace during the journey.

“The three of us went kayaking, and when we reached a certain spot, we stopped just to absorb the extraordinary stillness of the place. We saw icebergs and lands completely untouched by humans. It is a part of the world that so many people might never see with their own eyes. I felt incredibly fortunate to have the chance to witness it,” she recalled of the family experience.

Nicole Kidman drew significant attention when she attended a Sabrina Carpenter concert in Nashville, Tennessee, in November 2025. On social media, numerous fans expressed delight over their interaction. The video capturing the conversation between Kidman and Carpenter has since amassed nearly seven million views on the actress’s Instagram account.
