Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated after 19 years of marriage, PEOPLE confirms.
The Oscar-winning actress, 58, and country music star, 57, are officially splitting, ending one of Hollywood’s longest-standing celebrity unions.
A source close to the couple revealed that Kidman has been leaning heavily on her family, especially her sister Antonia, during this difficult time. “Nicole’s sister has been a rock and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another,” the insider shared. “She didn’t want this. She has been fighting to save the marriage.”
The news of their separation was first reported by TMZ, which cited sources claiming that the pair had been living apart since the beginning of the summer.
Kidman and Urban married in June 2006 and have two daughters together, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Their family life had often been described as loving and grounded, with Kidman previously calling Urban her greatest source of strength.

Just three months ago, on June 25, Kidman marked their wedding anniversary by sharing a heartfelt photo on Instagram of herself cuddled up to Urban. “Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban,” she captioned the post.
In August, Kidman shared “summer memories” on Instagram featuring her daughters and extended family, but noticeably, Urban was not included in the photos. At the same time, the country star has been busy touring, with his next performance scheduled for Oct. 2 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Kidman, meanwhile, recently wrapped filming Practical Magic 2 in London and has been spending more time with her daughters and family support system. Back in April 2024, she spoke to PEOPLE about how important her family was in balancing her demanding career. “I’m so lucky that I have Keith, who’s just my love, my deep, deep love. That gives me the ability to go and do whatever I have to do because I know where I can come back to,” she said at the time.
Her comments now paint a poignant picture in light of their separation, suggesting that while she held on tightly to the relationship, the couple may have grown apart over the past year.
The split comes as a surprise to fans who have long admired Kidman and Urban’s relationship, often seen as one of Hollywood’s rare enduring love stories. With Kidman focused on her acting projects and Urban on his music, the couple has always managed to present a united front, until now.
For now, both are keeping details private, but the support of Kidman’s family appears to be helping her navigate this new chapter. Urban, too, remains dedicated to his tour and music career as the separation becomes public.
