Keith Urban and his wife, Nicole Kidman have reportedly separated after 19 years of marriage.
TMZ reports that multiple sources with “direct knowledge” of the pair’s personal life, have informed the outlet that the country superstar and Oscar-winning actress have been living apart “since the beginning of summer.”
With Urban having been away on tour for the majority of the summer, Kidman has reportedly been focused on caring for their two children and, “holding the family together through this difficult time.”
The split is believed to be one-sided, with sources claiming Kidman has been working to save the marriage while Urban has already stepped away from their Nashville home.
“Keith has acquired his own residence in Nashville and has moved out of their family home,” a source told TMZ.
PEOPLE also confirmed the news from a source who once again emphasized, “She didn’t want this…She has been fighting to save the marriage.”
It is uncertain whether this separation will turn into a divorce or if the two will find a way to reconcile their long-term relationship.
Urban and Kidman tied the knot in 2006 have since built a life together that includes expanding their family with their two teenage daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith, 14.
Country Now has reached out to Keith Urban’s team for comment.
Reflecting on their love in a 2020 episode of Dax Shepard’s podcast, “Armchair Expert,” Urban recalled the moment he knew she was the one.
“She’s just the one, that was it,” he said at the time. “She’s the one that I was searching for my whole life, and everything not only changed but had to change in me if I was going to go that road. It felt like an ultimate fork-in-the-road moment in my life. It was literally like, ‘You either get this right now, or you are never, ever going to get it right. This is your one shot.’ Really, it felt so obvious.”
During an interview on theTODAY Show that same year, Kidman also gushed over her Grammy-winning husband, praising him as both a husband and a father.
“He’s such a good man, as I’ve said before,” she shared. “I’m married to a really good man. And the kids have a great father and that’s a very beautiful thing to be able to say.”
Despite their busy schedules, the pair are often seen by each other’s sides supporting their partners achievements and various projects. Their most notable recent appearance was at the 2025 ACM Awards, where Keith Urban walked away with the coveted Triple Crown Award.
On June 25, Kidman also shared a heartfelt post celebrating another year together.
She wrote, “Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️.”
Keith Urban currently has tour dates scheduled through August 2026, while Kidman recently wrapped filming Practical Magic 2 in London.
