Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are separating after 19 years of marriage. This decision concludes a relationship that started with a whirlwind romance back in 2005. The two lovebirds married on May 19, 2006 in Sydney, Australia. They have forged an extraordinary bond over this time, admired by millions of fans from all corners of the earth.
Kidman and Urban originally met at the G’Day USA Gala in Los Angeles back in 2005. Their chemistry was evident from the start, and within a month they were engaged! Over the following years, the couple joyfully added two daughters to their family. Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban is 17 years old now, and Faith Margaret Kidman-Urban just turned 14! Kidman is mom to two older children, Bella, 29, and Connor, 27, from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.
In an emotional tribute during the “49th AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Nicole Kidman,” Urban expressed his admiration for Kidman. He credited her steadfast loyalty through his experience with addiction. Her warm and unwavering support was crucial to his getting into rehab soon after their wedding.

The couple had long supported each other’s careers, serving as a model partnership that many found powerful and aspirational. Urban once remarked about their love, saying, “If you want to see what love in action really looks like, give that a whirl.”
Despite their public displays of affection and commitment over the years, including sweet social media posts celebrating anniversaries and milestones, the couple has decided to part ways. The announcement comes as a shock to many fans who have followed their journey through the highs and lows of life in the spotlight.
As they move through this transition, both Kidman and Urban will have their priorities fully on their kids. At the same time, they will continue to advance along their individual trajectories. Their relationship as co-parents and working co-parents — they share a production company — will be an important part of their future together.
