Nicole Kidman breaks silence on divorce from Keith Urban
Nicole Kidman made her first public comments about her split from Keith Urban this week as part of a candid new interview with Variety.
The “Moulin Rouge” actress confirmed to the outlet that she is in good spirits since finalizing her divorce from Urban in January after about 19 years of marriage.
“I will always move towards the good. What I am grateful for is for my family, for keeping it as it is and moving forward,” she said. “That’s all. I don’t talk about everything else out of respect.”
She went on to note, “I stay in a place of ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we will continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
Kidman and Urban, a country musician whose hits include “Someone Like You” and “Blue Ain’t Your Color,” announced their split in September of last year. The former couple share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
At the time of the split, numerous outlets reported that Kidman and Urban had been living apart since early summer, although this was never officially confirmed.
The two stars made their final red carpet appearance in May when they attended the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards.

About a month later, Kidman acknowledged their wedding anniversary with a sweet tribute to her then-husband on Instagram.
These days, Kidman’s acting career is once again in full swing. She can currently be seen in the new Amazon Prime Video series “Scarpetta,” co-starring Simon Baker and Jamie Lee Curtis.
She also recently completed work on a sequel to 1998’s “Practical Magic” with Sandra Bullock, and appears set to reprise her role as Celeste Wright in a third season of HBO’s “Big Little Lies,” although no timeline has been announced for that long-awaited project.
Elsewhere in her chat with Variety, Kidman said she’s eager to return to live theater, but would prefer to do so in the off-Broadway space or even outside of New York and London.
And while he no longer needs to be at the epicenter of the country music scene, he currently has no plans to move away from Nashville, Tennessee.
“We have our life here,” he said. “I’ve been part of the city and the community for 20 years. It’s my home.”
