Nicole Kidman feels “betrayed” by Keith Urban after he initiated the end of their romance almost 20 years following their matrimony.
That’s according to an exclusive source who told People Magazine that the Australian actor had been working hard to save the marriage. TMZ first broke the news yesterday of Kidman and Urban’s separation, claiming that the pair had been living apart since the beginning of summer.
Kidman, it’s said, has been spending the majority of her time with the couple’s two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, while Urban has been residing in a new home in Nashville.
A further update today suggests that Kidman has officially filed for divorce, and court documents acquired by People shed light on a decision that appears to have been made regarding who will have primary care of Sunday and Faith.
Kidman, it’s claimed, has asked to become the primary residential parent of the girls. Urban has reportedly agreed to a deal that would see Kidman spend 306 days with their daughters, while he will take care of them for just 59 days of the year.
Earlier this week it was reported that Oscar-winner Kidman wanted to save her marriage, but Urban, 57, has other plans.
Indeed, according to a report by People Magazine, Kidman feels “betrayed” by her husband’s actions.
“Nicole’s hurt and feels betrayed,” a source told the magazine. “It’s devastating to her. She’s shocked.”
Another source told the publication: “Their lives were moving in different directions, and once he quietly set up his own place, it felt like the writing was on the wall.”
“It really hasn’t been a secret in their circles that Keith and Nicole have been living separately for a while now,” the source added. “People close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable.”
Kidman and Urban, who married in 2006, made their last public appearance together on June 20, watching the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup match between Los Angeles Football Club and Esperance de Tunis in Nashville.
The root cause of the divorce is yet unknown to the public, but there has been speculation insisting that the couple’s respective schedules have played a role. Other sources claim that Urban has grown to resent the number of steamy sex scenes featuring his wife in a recent spate of moves, though this, we must stress, hasn’t been backed up by any credible evidence.
