Nicole Kidman is reportedly feeling “hurt and betrayed” after Keith Urban initiated the end of their marriage, nearly 20 years after they tied the knot. According to People Magazine, Kidman had been working to save their relationship, but Urban decided to separate, moving into a new home in Nashville while Kidman focuses on their two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
Court documents indicate Kidman has requested primary custody of the girls, a request Urban has reportedly agreed to. The proposed arrangement would give Kidman 306 days with their daughters each year, leaving Urban 59 days annually. Friends and sources say that while Kidman wanted to preserve their marriage, the couple’s lives had been moving in different directions, and Urban quietly establishing his own residence confirmed the separation for those close to them.
Kidman and Urban, married since 2006, were last seen together publicly on June 20 at a FIFA Club World Cup match in Nashville. Sources close to the couple have said that the two had been living apart for some time, making the split somewhat expected within their social circles.
The exact reasons for the divorce remain unclear. Some speculation points to busy schedules and personal differences, while unverified reports suggest Urban may have had concerns about Kidman’s recent work. None of these claims have been confirmed. During this difficult period, Kidman is reportedly focusing on her children and personal healing. Despite the emotional strain, she is said to be resilient, prioritizing the well-being of her daughters while navigating the complexities of divorce and life apart from Urban.
