Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are officially divorced after 19 years of marriage

“I had other things going on… I was in my shell.”

Now, says the Oscar winner, she’s on the road to recovery “because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good. What I’m grateful for is my family, and keeping them as is and moving forward.

“I’m staying in a place of ‘We are a family’, and that’s what we’ll continue to be… My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”

Aside from her obvious commitment to the daughters she shares with Keith – Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith, 15 – Nicole, 58, has plans galore stacking up this year. Her new crime show, Scarpetta, recently launched on Prime Video, and she soon begins shooting the third season of the spy thriller Lioness and the horror movie The Young People.

A new chapter of adventure

It fits perfectly with her self-description as a “worker bee”, but despite her many commitments, there’s something else Nicole is excited about – taking time out to travel the globe.

“This year and my next few years are for the adventures,” she says.

“I’m at a certain time in my life. I’m going to do the things I’ve always dreamed of doing that are not anything to do with work. Just exploration.”

Antarctica on the itinerary

Last year, it was Antarctica.

“I took my sister, nieces, nephews and loads of friends on a cruise. We met so many good people. We saw penguins and sea lions…”

And next up, “We’re going to head to the Galápagos, then hike Machu Picchu.”

A return to filmmaking

Chances are, any other adventures Nicole has planned for the coming year won’t be happening in the lead-up to the September release of the much-awaited Practical Magic 2. The actress, who also shares daughter Isabella, 32, and son Connor, 30, with ex-husband Tom Cruise, 63, says she loved filming the sequel to the 1998 hit about sister witches Gillian and Sally Owens – and a lot of the enjoyment had to do with co-star and close pal Sandra Bullock, 61.

In addition to starring in it, the pair also co-produced the movie.

“I love Sandy,” Nicole enthuses.

“And we’re so different. I’m like [she makes a funny noise], and she’s so measured and together. We’re like sisters. I have so much protection and love for her.

“We also have incredible chemistry. We produce totally differently. She’s incredibly hands-on and I love delegating.”

A private life kept off-limits

One topic that’s off-limits for Nicole is her post-divorce love life. Rumours have swirled about her close connection to fellow Aussie actor – and Scarpetta co-star – Simon Baker, 56. The pair, who play husband and wife in the series based on the popular Patricia Cornwell novels, held hands at the show’s New York premiere in March, and Nicole told reporters their chemistry “just vibrates”.

A source says the pair’s connection “clearly wasn’t faked. At the after-party, they stayed close all night.”

Another insider, however, points out that Nicole has been close friends with both Simon and his ex- wife, Rebecca Rigg, 58, for decades, and that romance was unlikely. Since well before Nicole filed for divorce from 58-year-old Kiwi country crooner Keith, citing “irreconcilable differences”, the star has remained in the mansion they bought two years after their 2006 wedding in Sydney.

Keith, meanwhile, has moved into a new farmhouse that serves as a “bachelor pad”, complete with a state-of-the-art recording studio.

A quiet new chapter in Tennessee

Nicole’s move to “simple, quiet and nourishing” Tennessee all those years ago turned out to be exactly what she didn’t know she needed, and she’s not in the least bit tempted to move back to the intensity of Los Angeles.

“We have our life here,” she says of herself and her teenage daughters.

“I’m part of the city and community for 20 years. It’s my home.”

Besides, if she fancies some Hollywood glamour, she only has to wander across the road to connect with close pal Reese Witherspoon. The two women were both executive producers of the hit TV show Big Little Lies and also led the ensemble cast.

“We live opposite each other. Isn’t that weird?”

she smiles. “That’s why Big Little Lies exists.”

Keith Urban Reportedly ‘Distraught’ His ‘Angry’ Daughters Have Cut Him Off as They ‘Blame’ Their Dad for Nicole Kidman Divorce

There are always sides in a divorce, even if the two people involved would prefer to think there’s not. And when there are kids, they almost always pick a side. That’s life. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce was reportedly his idea, so it’s no surprise that their two daughters seemed to have picked their mom’s side. But it seems like Urban is taking reality very, very hard.

RadarOnline is reporting that Urban is “distraught” by the fact that his two daughters consider him the bad guy and are now shutting him out. This comes after rumors about his breakup with Kidman indicated she wanted to work on the marriage, and he did not. Plus, there’s also the fact that his musician lifestyle has meant she has been the one taking care of both their daughters for most of their lives.

The outlet claims that Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, are fully on their mom’s side, and Urban isn’t pleased. “[The girls] are completely team Nicole and right now Keith is the bad guy,” a source said. “He is the cause of every problem in their minds, and it’s harrowing for him.

Keith Urban’s daughter Sunday Rose makes bold move on her relationship with her father following split with Nicole Kidman

“He’s really distraught … He loves those girls, but they are so angry at him and they’re blaming him,” the source also said. And worst of all, it doesn’t even seem to be Kidman’s doing according to reports. “I don’t even think this is Nicole painting a narrative – this is the girls coming to this conclusion on their own,” an insider explained.

On April 27, the situation seemed to hit a breaking point asl Sunday unfollowed her dad on social media. She followed him back again within 24 hours. But that doesn’t mean things are good. “He was texting [his daughters] before and getting one- or two-word answers, if he got anything at all. Now nothing,” sources say.

Kidman and Urban filed for divorce in September 2025, with the case finalized in January. Kidman got custody of their daughters, with the agreement stating the girls will stay with her 306 days a year, and spend 59 days with their dad. That means every other weekend.

Rumors have swirled about Urban moving on from Kidman and perhaps even cheating on her with several women, but Urban has denied all allegations. It is, however, hard to deny that things with his daughters are not great. “Keith’s tour has kept him apart from the girls for more than he would like,” a source explained.

“According to their divorce agreement, he only has Sunday Rose and Faith every other weekend, but when he’s touring even that doesn’t work.” So, it’s really no wonder the relationship has deteriorated. Both Sunday and Faith are still living with their mom at their home in Nashville, and the two were seen spending the holidays last year alongside their mother and her family in her native Australia.

The source indicates it has all been very difficult for Urban, who doesn’t know how to win his daughters back. “Obviously, Keith is not a perfect man – nobody is. But whatever his issues between him and Nicole are, he still loves his daughters very much,” the source said. “For them to cut him out is really hurtful.”

Keith Urban’s new low: Nicole Kidman’s ex-husband takes modest job after costly divorce

Keith Urban has accepted a modest new job as he adjusts to single life following his split from Nicole Kidman.

The New Zealand-born country music singer, 58, recently performed on the Bahamas-bound Top Shelf Country Cruise ship to a crowd of just over 1,000 people.

The US cruise line employs several successful country music stars – including Riley Green, Chris Young and Lauren Alaina – to regularly perform to their passengers in exchange for pay and board.

Insiders say Keith, who has previously held concerts at much bigger arenas, was not too happy about the gig.

‘It’s the kind of gig that Keith would have turned his nose up at during his marriage to Nicole Kidman,’ an insider tells this week’s New Idea magazine.

The move has also sparked questions about Keith’s financial position, despite longstanding reports placing his net worth at more than $100million.

Keith Urban has accepted a modest new job as he adjusts to single life following his split from Nicole Kidman

Although Keith and Nicole, 58, managed to reach a divorce settlement which did not include him paying any spousal or child support, the split is still estimated to have been very expensive for both parties.

‘When there’s that much money involved in a split, the lawyers don’t come cheap, regardless of the outcome,’ the source said.

The insider added that regardless of how much his new job pays, it helps keep Keith occupied.

‘Cruise ships are not exactly the dream gig, but they pay the bills – and it gives Keith something to focus on. He’s trying to stay busy now that his divorce is finalised,’ they said.

While there are no details of Keith’s pay for performing on the ship, a musician of his stature could easily demand six figures – especially when passenger tickets were priced between $6,700 – $19,000 for a seven-day cruise.

‘He’s putting a bright spin on everything right now, but singing on a cruise ship is a big change from performing at his own sell-out tour last year,’ they said.

‘However, Keith is determined to keep working while he figures out, with his new management team, some exciting plans for the latter part of this year.’

It follows reports that as family and friends rally around Nicole in the wake of her split from Keith, it seems that the country star is leaning into the bachelor life.

Keith Urban Reportedly Plots Tell-All Revenge After Nicole Kidman Publicly ‘Erases’ Him from Family

Country star Keith Urban may speak out to clarify his side of the story after Nicole Kidman’s remarks on their family.

Keith Urban is reportedly considering a tell‑all interview to ‘set the record straight’ about his divorce from Nicole Kidman, after the Oscar-winning actor appeared to describe her ‘family’ as consisting only of their two daughters in a recent interview published in the US on Monday, 25 March. The former couple, both 58, finalised their divorce in January, ending a long-running marriage that has now spilled into a quiet but pointed PR battle.

The alleged tension stems from Kidman’s comments about life after the split and how she sees her home life with daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15. In an interview with Variety, she stressed that they would ‘continue to be [a family],’ with no mention of Keith Urban as part of that unit.

According to Star Magazine, that omission has struck a nerve with the country star, who allegedly feels he has been cast as the villain and frozen out of the public narrative around the break‑up.

Keith Urban Bristles At Nicole Kidman’s ‘Family’ Comment

The news came after Kidman’s remarks were interpreted by some as a deliberate line in the sand. When asked about her family, she clarified that she was talking specifically about herself and the couple’s teenage daughters.

‘I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good. What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women, the Babygirl actress told Variety.

The same insider characterises Kidman’s stance as ‘ice cold’ and suggests she is ‘not done punishing Keith.’ There is no public evidence that Kidman has intentionally tried to punish her ex beyond choosing her words carefully in the press.

Urban, the source claims, has so far allowed suggestions that he was to blame for the break‑up to circulate largely unchallenged. He is said to feel that he has kept his counsel, taken the hits, and tried not to escalate matters, only to find himself written out of the picture anyway. ‘He’s let the narrative about him being the villain circulate without correcting it, and he gets no thanks,’ the insider says.

A Tell-All From Keith Urban Would Mark A Sharp Turn

Against that backdrop, the idea that Keith Urban might sit down for a tell‑all conversation is doing the rounds. The same source speculates that ‘it won’t shock anyone if he decides to tell all in some fashion, to set the record straight. What does he have to lose?’

Urban has long cultivated a genial, grateful public persona, careful around personal drama. A revenge-flavoured interview would be a marked departure.

Keith Urban’s Financial Situation Questioned After Expensive Divorce From Nicole Kidman

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman‘s fans were surprised last year when it was announced that they were divorcing after 19 years of marriage.

Details later emerged with sources saying that the two had been living separately and the actress ultimately had no choice but to file for divorce after Urban ignored her attempts to try and make things work. Kidman cited “irreconcilable differences” and requested to be named the “primary residential parent” of their daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

Their divorce was finalized in early 2026 and involved splitting a global property empire valued at over $280 million. While the specific total legal costs are not known, the settlement required them to pay their own legal fees, with reports that the high-profile separation was financially significant, although they waived spousal support. And now something Urban signed on to do recently has some claiming that he’s having financial problems.

Before his divorce from Kidman, Urban reportedly had an estimated net worth of $75 million. But all signs point to that number taking a hit after his latest gig was on a cruise ship. The “Your Everything” singer performed in front of about 1,000 people on board the Bahamas-bound Top Shelf Country Cruise vessel.

That is a far cry from the arenas he’s used to selling out, but does it mean he has money woes?

There’s really no way to tell since the details of the settlement have not been made public. However, it’s common knowledge that divorce lawyers for high-profile celebrities are not cheap. And insiders told New Idea Magazine that there’s no denying the cruise ship was a notable downgrade for Urban, with one source insisting, “It’s the kind of gig that Keith would have turned his nose up at during his marriage to Nicole.”

Another source added, “Cruise ships are not exactly the dream gig, but they pay the bills — and it gives Keith something to focus on. He’s trying to stay busy now that his divorce is finalized.”

While a third said, the musician is “putting a bright spin on everything right now,” despite the contrast between the cruise performance and his recent sell-out tour, adding, “Keith is determined to keep working while he figures out, with his new management team, some exciting plans for the latter part of this year.”

There were also rumors that some in Urban’s circle were concerned he was going through a “midlife crisis” after his eldest daughter’s March cover interview with Elle Australia, in which she praised her mother but made no mention of her father.

“My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life. She’s a key part of everything I do,” Sunday told the magazine.

That comes on the heels of reports that both daughters have cut their dad off since their parents’ split and are not on speaking terms with him at this time.

As for the cruise, the price passengers paid for their seven-day voyage ranged from $6,700 to $19,000, but just how much Keith received for the gig was not disclosed.

EXCLUSIVE: Nicole Kidman flaunts her new love – Simon Baker!

Keith Urban refused to believe it – but now there’s picture proof

Nicole Kidman says their chemistry “just vibrates”, while Simon Baker coyly joked, “I don’t kiss and tell.”

Now the rumoured couple have debuted their romance on the Scarpetta red carpet, and it has Nicole’s ex-husband Keith Urban reeling.

RED CARPET DEBUT

“Seeing Nicole and Simon holding hands was the equivalent of seeing his best mate with his missus and it did a number on him. He knew it was natural for her to lean on Simon – he was also there for Naomi [Watts] after her split from Liev. The difference is back then Simon wasn’t single,” an insider reveals to Woman’s Day.

“Keith is hoping they’re just hamming it up for headlines, but even then it feels to him like it’s a betrayal because both Nicole and Simon know how much even the hint of a romance between them will hurt him. He already suspected they were getting close while filming. This is his worst nightmare come true.”

Just hours after they held hands on the Scarpetta red carpet, a “glowing” Nicole, 58, was spotted sneaking into a star-studded afterparty for the New York premiere of Amazon’s new adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s book series – and handsome Simon, 56, who plays Nicole’s husband in the show, was right by her side.

According to Page Six’s spies, the pair, along with co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, spent plenty of time “deep in conversation” at the private soiree held at Cafe Zaffri at The Twenty Two New York.
“The trio were spotted chatting together in a cosy corner of the dining room, deep in conversation and clearly enjoying each other’s company,” the source shared.

Nicole and Simon have known each other for decades. The actress is friends with Simon’s ex-wife Rebecca Rigg and is godmother to his son Harry, 24. She’s so close, in fact, to Rebecca that Nicole recently told The Daily Telegraph the women “are the same person”, as she revealed she “begged” Simon to work alongside her.

It’s the familiarity of Simon and Nicole that is getting to Keith.

“He hates that they’re giving interviews about how close they are. He’s in total shock that she would flaunt a new relationship so soon after their divorce. It’s not what they agreed on for the sake
of the girls.”

Adding to Keith’s heartbreak is the fact that his daughters Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15, are still giving him the silent treatment since the split in September.

“Simon poses a real threat to Keith because the girls absolutely adore him. He’s been like a fun uncle to them since they were babies. If Nicole’s in a relationship with Simon, he needs to be told. He can see it impacting on his already fractured relationship with Sunday and Faith,” says the insider.

“Don’t discount how much seeing her hold another guy’s hand on the red carpet will affect him. He knows better than anyone how much she used to lean on him in those moments – now she’s relying on Simon and it’s hard for him to see.”

EXCLUSIVE: Keith Urban snubbed by model daughter Sunday Rose

It’s been a trying time for the family.

Keith Urban is said to be in a world of pain right now, after his eldest daughter, Sunday, failed to mention him in a new interview.

Sunday graces the cover of our sister publication ELLE Australia’s March issue. In the interview inside, Sunday heaped praise on her mother – but the model failed to namecheck her country music star dad.

“My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life. She’s a key part of everything I do,” Sunday, 17, told the publication.

The teen also singled out Nicole as being the one responsible for her work ethic.

“The biggest piece of industry advice Mum has given to me is to always be on time,” Sunday said.

“I’ve travelled my whole life and my mum is a really good traveller, so she has taught me how to be one, too, which makes it so fun to travel and enjoy all the different places.”

New Idea’s source says Keith, 58, is “just numb” over the interview.

He hasn’t been seen in public with Sunday or her sister, Faith, 15, since his split from Nicole was announced last September.

Nicole has primary custody.

“Keith doesn’t know what to say, but he’s trying to put on a brave front. He knows he has to be patient; however, this latest snub – so publicly, there in black and white – has stumped him,” says an insider.

“It’s like he doesn’t exist.”

Nicole was granted primary custody of Sunday and Faith in their January 2026 divorce agreement.

The filing states that Nicole gets the girls for 306 days of the year, while Keith has them for the remaining 59.

The couple also agreed on having the girls on alternating, yearly schedules for holidays.

“Of course, Keith wants more time with them,” our source previously said of the arrangement.

“It’s heartbreaking seeing Nicole constantly out and about with the girls, who are clearly very protective of their mum right now.”

Nicole spent Christmas in Sydney with Sunday and Faith and has been spotted with them on numerous public outings since, while Keith has remained absent from the public eye.

“That doesn’t mean he’s not with them!” our source pointed out. “All he’s doing is sticking to the custody agreement.”
