Nicole Kidman Files for Divorce from Keith Urban After Nearly Two Decades of Marriage
LOS ANGELES - Nicole Kidman has officially filed for divorce from country music star Keith Urban, according to reports. The news comes a day after it was revealed that the couple had separated.
The Oscar-winning actress and Urban, who were married in 2006, have been one of Hollywood's most enduring power couples. They have two children together, Sunday (17) and Faith (14), and Kidman also shares two adopted children with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, Isabella and Connor.
Neither Kidman nor Urban has publicly addressed what led to their split, but sources close to the couple suggest that they have been growing apart for some time. "They've been going through a rough patch for a while now," a source told TMZ, which first broke the news of their separation. "They're both very busy with their careers and haven't been spending as much time together as they used to."
The couple's marriage was seen as one of Hollywood's most stable and enduring relationships. They were known for their strong support of each other's careers, often attending each other's public appearances at concerts, movie premieres, and TV shows.
Industry insiders say that the split may have been inevitable given the demands of their respective careers. "Nicole and Keith are both incredibly talented and dedicated to their work," says a source close to the couple. "They've been married for nearly 20 years, but they're also two people who have built successful careers on their own terms. It's not surprising that they've grown apart."
The news of Kidman's divorce filing has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with many fans and colleagues taking to social media to express their sadness at the couple's split.
As for what's next for Kidman and Urban, it remains to be seen. Both have busy schedules ahead of them, with Kidman set to star in several upcoming projects, including a new TV series, while Urban is touring with his band.
The divorce filing marks the end of an era for one of Hollywood's most beloved couples. As fans mourn the loss of their favorite power couple, they can't help but wonder what the future holds for these two talented individuals.
