Why Are Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman Getting Divorced?
News of the high-profile couple separating broke on Monday (Sept. 29) when a source revealed to TMZ that the pair had been living separately for most of the summer. The following day, Kidman filed for divorce from Urban in Davidson County, Tenn., ending their 19-year marriage.
The divorce documents don’t provide many details about why the couple split, as the filing only cites irreconcilable differences.
The papers do reveal, however, that both parties had sorted out arrangements weeks ago, with Urban signing his half on Aug. 29, 2025, and Kidman providing her signature on Sept. 6, 2025.
Despite their wealth and assets, Urban and Kidman’s split is pretty clean. The couple has divided their property according to whose name is on it neither will be required to pay alimony nor child support for their two daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
Speaking of their children, Kidman will have primary custody of their daughters. They are expected to visit Urban ever Sunday and they will have every other weekend with their father.
What Happened With Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman?
The court filings do little to fill in the blanks as to what happened in the couple’s marriage to lead to a divorce. However, a source tells People that those who are in Urban’s inner circle were not surprised by the news.
“People close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable,” the source says.
On the other hand, a report in the Daily Mail says Kidman was “blindsided” when Urban initiated a separation.

“Enough is enough.” That’s all Kelly Clarkson said before the arena lights dimmed — and everything changed.
The crowd in Nashville froze in silence… then, without warning, Taylor Swift walked out. Side by side, the powerhouse vocalist and the world’s biggest pop icon launched into a brand-new, defiant anthem — raw, unpolished, and impossible to ignore. Kelly’s soulful strength intertwined seamlessly with Swift’s fiery energy, creating a sound that felt less like a performance and more like a declaration.
As the last chord of Kelly’s piano thundered across the arena, five chilling words lit up the giant screen above the stage:
“You know what this is about.”
Fans screamed. Phones shot into the air. Social media exploded within seconds. Some called it a protest, others a promise — but everyone agreed: Kelly Clarkson and Taylor Swift hadn’t just shared a stage. They had just sent a message.
Now, with the Musicians Union rumored to be stepping in and whispers of a secret collaborative EP already spreading online, one thing is certain: Kelly Clarkson may be known for her voice and her authenticity, but on this night she proved something bigger — that music isn’t just entertainment. It’s rebellion. It’s truth. And when delivered with the right fire, it can shake the world.
On December 14, Kelly Clarkson joined Garth Brooks on The Kelly Clarkson Show for a heartfelt rendition of “Shallow,” originally performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in the acclaimed film A Star Is Born. This performance was particularly special as Brooks was promoting his new album Fun, which features a duet of “Shallow” with his wife, Trisha Yearwood. However, Yearwood was unable to attend, leading Clarkson to step in as an impromptu duet partner.
Their cover of “Shallow” showcased both artists’ remarkable vocal talents, blending Clarkson’s powerful, emotive delivery with Brooks’ rich country tones. The song, which explores themes of vulnerability and yearning, resonated deeply with the audience, amplifying the emotional weight of the lyrics. Clarkson’s vocal prowess and Brooks’ skillful guitar accompaniment created a captivating atmosphere, allowing the song to shine in a new light.
The performance on the show was not just a one-off; it came after Brooks and Yearwood had already performed the song during Brooks’ Facebook Live series earlier that year. Their connection and chemistry were evident as they navigated the poignant lyrics together, transforming the experience into a memorable moment for viewers.Clarkson and Brooks’ rendition of “Shallow” was a beautiful homage to the original while highlighting their individual artistry. The performance not only delighted fans of both artists but also underscored the timelessness of the song’s message

By now, I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines that longtime Hollywood power couple Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are officially over, after Kidman filed for divorce earlier this week. They had been separated and living apart since the beginning of summer when Keith moved out.
The rumor from several sources is that Kidman was trying to save the marriage, and that it was Urban who wanted out, but either way, it’s sad to see this nearly two-decade marriage come to an end.
Of course, you never know what’s really going on behind closed doors, but the two of them always appeared very much in love, and they often spoke publicly about their seemingly strong marriage and life together. They share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, and it’s just heartbreaking all-around, especially for their kids.
They were married for 19 years, and first met in 2005 after meeting at the G’Day USA gala in Los Angeles. Urban talked about his wife’s “otherworldly era,” saying he was incredibly nervous to talk to her and felt like he was meeting a “real life princess.” He eventually worked up the nerve to ask for her number, though it still took him a while to actually call her.
Once he did, their connection was instant and the rest is history. They were married the following year in 2006:
“I was trying to play it cool, but inside, I felt like I had snuck into the royal ball. Simply because Nic has such a truly otherworldly era about her, and I felt a bit like I was meeting a real life princess… and despite all of that, I did manage to get her phone number on a tiny piece of paper, and I carried that number in my pocket for well over a week.
I’d pull it out and look at it… I was just scared. I was nervous to call her, and as prone as I might have been at the time to all sorts of delusional thinking, even I couldn’t stretch that to think this extraordinary would ever see anything in a guy like me. And that’s not me being humble, that’s literally how I saw myself and her. I did, as you’ve probably figured out, work up the courage to finally call her.
We started talking, and we just talked and talked like we’d known each other our whole lives. It turned out that this mystic creature was really just a wide eyed, vivacious, giddy girl from the Sydney suburbs, and despite being born in Honolulu, she was utterly Aussie through and through.”
With news of the divorce, many people have been speculating as to what exactly went down, and the video of Keith Urban (allegedly) abruptly hanging up during an interview on Australia’s Mix 102.3 with Hayley & Max in the Morning has resurfaced, as the host got pretty personal in asking Urban about some rather inappropriate topics, to be honest.
They brought up his soon-to-be ex-wife, who was in a movie with Zac Efron called A Family Affair where they play lovers, which includes some steamy scenes, and Buford asked:
“What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV and radio?”
Buford waited for Urban’s response, but there was only silence. He then looked at his producer, asking what had happened, to which he was informed that Keith Urban had disconnected from the Zoom call:
“I think his team hung up on us because they didn’t want us to ask that question. He’s gone, see you Keith.”
So it’s obvious he was probably not a fan seeing that, as I don’t think any husband would be, even if your wife is an incredibly famous actress like Kidman. Later on, a source claimed that Urban did not hang up and it was someone else, so it could’ve been his publicist, but who knows.
According to another source who spoke with Page Six following the divorce announcement says that Urban really didn’t like Kidman’s movie more recent movie Babygirl, which was extremely explicit (much more than the one with Efron) and I heard had some really far out there scenes (something about her acting like a cat during a “romantic” scene?), and was definitely not a family friendly movie, to put it mildly.
The source claims that Keith was not a fan of the movie, and didn’t even like that she was promoting it:
“Keith didn’t like the film and he didn’t even like Nicole promoting the movie.”
I mean, I can’t really blame him for that, but it’s certainly not the first time she’s had a wacky role or steamy scenes in a movie, so I’m sure his alleged annoyance with it probably had more to do with much deeper marital issues.
I’m sure it’s just one of many things that contributed to the end of their marriage.
Keith Urban is a Grammy-winning country music singer, primarily recognized for his pop-rock influences and honest lyrics. For years, he had graced the stages with his songs, set behind melodious guitar tunes and strong emotions.
Now living every singer’s dream, Urban can only muse over how far he has come. The beginning of his career was not as glam as his life today, and he waded through some murky waters before achieving the near-perfect life he has today.

It was the early 90s, and Urban, then considered a long-haired guitar-slinging oddity, had just entered the music scenes. Nobody thought he was good enough, despite doing his best.
He lived on the shabby side of town and had a roommate who was a little too keen on using drugs. For a while, Urban stayed put, but when a girl he was dating broke up with him, he spiraled out of control and found himself caught up in the eternal cycle of careless drinking and drug use.

It became his lifestyle of choice for Urban, and he lived that way for years until someone came his way that made him change for the better.
Nicole Kidman Came into His Life and Became His Savior
Urban wallowed in his dilapidating lifestyle for over a decade, a livelihood marred with intense drug use and alcohol abuse. But in 2005, his fate seemed to change when he met the lovely “Eyes Wide Shut” actress Nicole Kidman.
The two fell in love fast, and the following year, they walked down the aisle in a romantic ceremony in Australia. However, his new life was not enough to stop his habits. Four months into their marriage, Urban’s drinking habits were already posing significant problems in the new union.
Still, instead of walking away, Kidman was hell-bent on helping her husband beat his habits, and the same year they walked down the aisle, Kidman staged an intervention for her new husband.
She helped him check into a rehab center, and after three months of inpatient hard work, the “You’ll Think of Me” singer returned home dedicated to staying on the sober train. He muses:
“I caused the implosion of my fresh marriage. It survived, but it’s a miracle it did.”
Urban admits that that time of his life was the hardest, a fact to which Kidman can testify. He confesses that it got to a point where he favored dying.
Urban considers Kidman his savior. The singer says he was spiritually awoken with her, and for the first time since the 90s, he felt he could shake off the shackles of addiction.

But how did a mild-mannered and soft-spoken kid’s life turn so drastic? When did the rain start beating him? Urban blames his adversities entirely on his upbringing.
Urban’s Childhood Influenced His Future Choices
The “Only You Can Love Me This Way” singer describes his childhood as anything but ideal. He grew up with an alcoholic father who never once told him he loved him.

Urban says that whenever he did a gig on stage that he thought deserved a compliment, his father would always find a way to criticize him, and it ate at him for the longest time.
The constant moving and lack of intimacy from his parents contributed mainly to his behavior as an adult. He remembers his dad as a physical disciplinarian, and his respite for showing love to his son traumatized Urban for many years.
However, he says he respected his dad and is forever grateful that he pushed him toward developing a music career. The “Don’t Let Me Down” singer says that he spent most of his childhood trying to get his dad’s approval, and in a way, that pushed him to be a better singer. He says:

“I’m sure I had it when I was five, but I acted like I never had it, and it just has driven me my whole life. Then I just kept doing it. I was a little kid trying to get my dad’s attention.”
Sadly, Urban’s dad, Robert, was diagnosed with cancer and suffered from the illness for a long time until his passing on December 5, 2015.
Despite all that happened in his childhood, Urban mourned the loss of his dad. He noted that he loved his dad enough to want him not to endure any more pain. “I had to remove my selfishness from that.” He says.
Urban Is Living His Dream and Is a Doting Dad to His Girls
For years, Urban dreamed about having his own family and, moreso, becoming a dad. “I am looking forward to fatherhood. I have always wanted to be a good dad.” He told The Sunday Telegraph, as People reports.
That dream came to fruition after the singer beat his addiction with the help of his wife. They welcomed their first child, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, in July 2008 and the second, Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, in 2010.
The singer always thought he knew what it would be like to have children, but the truth soon dawned on him that he had no idea.
But when he welcomed his two little girls, he realized that becoming a dad was an unexplainable feeling until you’ve walked in those shoes:

“So I’m glad I got to experience that.”

Urban confessed he was happy to experience fatherhood, noting that he loved being a dad to girls. He grew up with one brother and no sister, and having girls around the house changed his view on many things and has been a learning curve for him.
Despite their daughters growing up with stars for parents, Urban and Kidman try to shield them from the spotlight as best they can. He disclosed that they did the most ordinary things as a family and did not live on social media like many other stars.
Urban has achieved a lot. He is living many people’s dreams with a prolific career in music and a successful family life.
However, he says his family inspires him the most, and despite the fame, his role as a doting father to his babies and a loving husband to Kidman remains perhaps the most crucial part of his life.
The country singer was back on stage for his 2025 High and Alive World Tour with a stop at the Giant Center in Hershey, Penn., on Thursday (Oct. 2).
Fans at the Hershey show also noticed a change to Urban’s usual setlist. He replaced his 2017 duet with Carrie Underwood, “The Fighter,” with “Wild Hearts,” a staple from his 2021 album The Speed of Now Part 1

Why Are Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman Getting Divorced?
News of the high-profile couple separating broke on Monday (Sept. 29) when a source revealed to TMZ that the pair had been living separately for most of the summer. The following day, Kidman filed for divorce from Urban in Davidson County, Tenn., ending their 19-year marriage.
The divorce documents don’t provide many details about why the couple split, as the filing only cites irreconcilable differences.
The papers do reveal, however, that both parties had sorted out arrangements weeks ago, with Urban signing his half on Aug. 29, 2025, and Kidman providing her signature on Sept. 6, 2025.
Despite their wealth and assets, Urban and Kidman’s split is pretty clean. The couple has divided their property according to whose name is on it neither will be required to pay alimony nor child support for their two daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
Speaking of their children, Kidman will have primary custody of their daughters. They are expected to visit Urban ever Sunday and they will have every other weekend with their father.
What Happened With Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman?
The court filings do little to fill in the blanks as to what happened in the couple’s marriage to lead to a divorce. However, a source tells People that those who are in Urban’s inner circle were not surprised by the news.
“People close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable,” the source says.
On the other hand, a report in the Daily Mail says Kidman was “blindsided” when Urban initiated a separation.

Sept. 2025: Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman Separate
Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood recently delivered a show-stopping rendition of “Stop Dragging My Heart Around” that left fans and critics speechless. Urban, often hailed as one of the most underappreciated guitarists in the industry, dazzled with his exceptional skills, while Underwood’s powerhouse vocals brought a fiery intensity to the performance. Together, the Australian-American pair reimagined the iconic track, blending timeless artistry with a fresh, modern flair.
The performance quickly garnered widespread acclaim, with fans applauding the seamless harmony between Urban’s masterful guitar work and Underwood’s commanding stage presence. While this collaboration proved unforgettable, many couldn’t help but reflect on Urban’s equally touching moments with his wife, Nicole Kidman, showcasing his remarkable ability to forge emotional connections both on and off the stage.
Kelly Clarkson’s performance of “Why Haven’t I Heard From You” at the CMT Giants Honor Reba event was a stunning tribute that showcased her vocal prowess and deep connection to the country music genre. The event celebrated the legendary Reba McEntire, and Clarkson’s rendition of McEntire’s hit song was filled with passion and energy, captivating the audience from the first note.
During the performance, Clarkson exhibited her incredible range and emotional depth, delivering powerful riffs and runs that highlighted her signature style. Known for her ability to blend various musical influences, she approached this country classic with a rock-n-roll spirit, infusing it with her own flair while respecting the original’s essence.
The performance wasn’t just a showcase of vocal talent; it was a heartfelt homage to McEntire, whom Clarkson considers a significant influence in her career. Their mutual respect and admiration for each other have been evident in past collaborations, and this performance further solidified their bond. Fans and critics alike were left in awe, praising Clarkson’s ability to connect emotionally with the audience, making it clear why she is regarded as one of the top vocalists of her generation.
Clarkson’s “Kellyoke” segment on The Kelly Clarkson Show has also featured numerous memorable covers, but this particular performance of “Why Haven’t I Heard From You” stands out as a fan favorite, reminding everyone of the magic that happens when two powerful female artists come together.
Kimberly and Robert W. Kirk never sought the spotlight. For more than four decades, they lived a steady life in Prospect Heights, Illinois, a quiet suburb of Chicago. Yet from the love, discipline, and guidance they poured into their home, they raised a son who would one day step into history and inspire millions.
Charlie Kirk’s story cannot be told without theirs. Married for over 40 years, Kimberly and Robert built a life rooted in enduring values. Theirs was a household where ambition was tempered by compassion, where faith and responsibility shaped every conversation, and where children were taught not just to dream, but to stand firm in the courage of their convictions.
Kimberly, a licensed mental health counselor, dedicated her career to helping others carry their burdens through life’s most difficult valleys. Before counseling, she sharpened her intellect in the world of finance at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, one of the globe’s largest and most intense financial hubs. That early experience, demanding precision and resilience, became a foundation she carried both into her profession and into motherhood.
Robert built his career as an accomplished architect, his fingerprints left on high-profile projects including Trump Tower in New York City. His work demanded vision, precision, and perseverance — qualities he quietly instilled in his son. Around the family dinner table, in late-night conversations, and through the example of his own work ethic, Robert taught Charlie to respect both the process of building and the legacy of what one leaves behind.
Together, Kimberly and Robert nurtured a home where questions were welcomed, convictions were respected, and every child was seen not only as a son but as a future leader. Charlie, their youngest, carried that spark from the start. He was curious, restless, and fiercely independent — a boy who challenged ideas, who refused to accept easy answers, and who stood firm even when standing alone.
The values Kimberly and Robert instilled — honesty, empathy, faith, and a profound sense of duty — would define Charlie’s path. As the founder of Turning Point USA, he carried those lessons into the public square, empowering millions of young people to lift their voices in a divided world. His courage, his insistence on dialogue, and his refusal to shrink from conviction all traced back to the foundation his parents laid.
Then came September 10th, 2025 — the day their world shattered. The sudden, tragic death of Charlie Kirk at just 31 years old left not only a nation stunned but parents grieving a loss beyond measure.
“Our hearts are shattered,” Kimberly and Robert shared in their first public words. “Charlie brought light, joy, and purpose into our lives from the very moment he was born. He had an unyielding drive to inspire, to lead, and to make a difference. He was not only our son, but a beacon of hope for countless young people. His courage, vision, and dedication will never be forgotten.”
For Kimberly and Robert, Charlie was not the public figure the world knew — he was their son. They remember his laughter echoing through the house, his late-night questions about life and faith, and his stubborn determination to do good even when the world pushed back. He was loyal, compassionate, and unafraid to confront what he believed was wrong.
Their home in Prospect Heights, still quiet and steady, has now become a sanctuary of memory. Photographs, recordings, and family mementos keep alive the story of the boy they raised, the man he became, and the legacy he left behind. For Kimberly and Robert, the grief is immeasurable, yet so is their gratitude — for the outpouring of love from friends, colleagues, and millions who were touched by Charlie’s work.
Behind every public figure stands a family whose unseen sacrifices and values shape the person the world eventually comes to know. The Kirks are that story — a reminder that greatness is never born in isolation but in the soil of family, faith, and quiet resilience.
Charlie Kirk may be gone, but the roots his parents planted remain strong. His legacy of conviction and compassion, shaped by Kimberly and Robert’s love and wisdom, will continue to inspire generations. Their tribute is both a mourning of loss and a celebration of a life that mattered — not just to them, but to millions.
Even in heartbreak, Kimberly and Robert’s example reminds us: the bonds we forge, the lessons we impart, and the love we give can echo across time.
Through them, Charlie’s voice will never truly fade.
