<p>Following days of swirling speculation, Nicole Kidman has made it official — she’s divorcing her husband of almost two decades, country music star Keith Urban.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The petition for divorce was filed in Davidson County, Tennessee, citing “irreconcilable differences.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Neither Kidman nor Urban has issued public statements about their split, but the tabloids have been working overtime to speak to unnamed insiders in an attempt to figure out what went wrong and when. These sources say the two had been living apart since the beginning of the summer, and the divorce is not surprising to the power couple’s inner circle.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kidman met Urban in January 2005 at an annual gala in Los Angeles hosted by the American Australian Association, according to </span><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/arts/nicole-kidman-keith-urban-divorce.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The New York Times</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It sounds a bit like a pickup line from ‘Crocodile Dundee,’” Urban said during a speech last year about their first meeting. “I was trying to play it cool, but inside I felt like I’d snuck into the royal ball,” he said, adding that his future wife had an “otherworldly aura about her,” adding that it “felt a bit like I was meeting a real-life princess.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They married in 2006 and went on to have two daughters together. Kidman was previously married to actor Tom Cruise from 1990 until 2001 and also has two children with him. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Urban previously admitted to being treated for substance abuse after checking into rehab months after their wedding. He praised Kidman for sticking by him during that difficult time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite the prevalence of divorce in Hollywood, fans have long regarded Urban and Kidman as the exception to the rule thanks to the longevity of their marriage and their apparent devotion to each other. In May, Urban thanked his wife while being honored at the Academy of Country Music Awards. “My wife, Nicole Mary, is here tonight,” Urban said at the time. “I love you, baby girl.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A source close to Urban told People that the singer has “just been going through some stuff” lately.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“He has been making questionable choices for some time now and this was not the case of them just drifting apart,” a source familiar with Kidman </span><a href="https://people.com/keith-urban-been-going-through-some-stuff-amid-nicole-kidman-split-sources-exclusive-11821691"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the outlet. </span></p>
