The split between Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban reportedly came after the two began living apart in early summer 2025.

Sources close to the couple reported that Keith Urban had left their family home in Nashville, Tennessee, and was now living in a new residence in the same city.

Nicole Kidman herself was said to be "keeping the family together through this difficult time since Keith left."

This indicates that Nicole was working hard to maintain stability for their two daughters, 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 14-year-old Faith Margaret.

Both daughters were born from their marriage, which began in June 2006.

Although the news of the breakup was only confirmed in September 2025, signs of a rift may have been apparent earlier.

On June 25, Kidman shared a photo of herself cuddled up to Urban on Instagram to commemorate their wedding anniversary. "Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban," she wrote.

Kidman, who recently wrapped filming Practical Magic 2 in London, shared a "summer memory" on Instagram on August 19, showcasing time spent with her daughters and extended family.

Urban is currently on tour, with his next stop scheduled for Thursday, October 2, in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
