19 years, two daughters, zero drama: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s unexpected divorce story

After nearly two decades of marriage, Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman and Australian-American country singer and songwriter Keith Urban have officially finalised their divorce, but with grace, mutual respect, and their daughters as their top priority, as per reports. The power couple, married since 2006, called it quits in Nashville court on January 6, 2026, just months after announcing their separation. Their divorce is said to be amicable, with both Nicole and Keith waiving alimony and child support claims, and paying their own legal fees.



A clean split, but kids come first

According to PEOPLE magazine, Nicole filed for divorce on September 30, 2025, citing "irreconcilable differences" with Keith Urban. The former couple emphasised an amicable asset division from day one - and so, there were no messy public battles in their case.




However, what caught people's attention was their parenting plans amidst divorce. As per reports, despite their differences, Nicole and Keith prioritised their teen daughters, Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (15). Their divorce agreement mandates both parents "behave... to provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced." And so, there's no badmouthing, no family drama - just encouragement for their girls to love both parents freely.

As per their arrangement post-divorce, their daughters will primarily live with Nicole, while Keith gets 59 days - including every other weekend - to spend with them. Both Nicole and Keith share joint decision-making on major life choices, which shows their commitment to co-parenting even if they aren't together as a couple anymore.



From Sydney wedding to Nashville divorce: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's 19-year journey

It was in 2005 when Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman and country superstar Keith Urban sparked dating rumours. And in June 2006, the duo got married in an intimate ceremony which was held in Sydney. While it was Keith's first marriage, it was Nicole's second after her split from Tom Cruise (1990–2001).

The duo welcomed their first daughter Sunday in 2008, while their second daughter Faith was born in 2010 via surrogacy. The former couple and their blended family were often seen at red carpets and music awards together, and they were much loved by their fans.
