Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Finalize Divorce, Reveal Co-Parenting Plan for Teen Daughters

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have officially closed the chapter of their relationship after nearly two decades together. According to a new report from PEOPLE, their divorce has been finalized just three months after Kidman filed, due to irreconcilable differences. Despite their split, their co-parenting agreement reflects a shared commitment to their family.

On Tuesday, January 6, the pair of stars brought their divorce to a close with a court-approved settlement, which indicates that they have agreed to forgo any child or spousal support, with each responsible for their own legal costs.

Under the new arrangement, their daughters Faith, 15, and Sunday, 17, will continue to be brought up in a stable and loving environment, as both parents are expected to “behave with each other and each child so as to provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced.”

Even though Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are no longer together, the agreement lays out a clear approach for how they intend to keep their family life as steady as possible

“They will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent,” the agreement continues. “They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.”

The girls will live primarily with their mother, the Babygirl actress, who will have them for the majority of the year, 306 days in total. Keith Urban will be allowed to spend 59 days out of the year with them, including every other weekend from Saturday morning at 10 a.m. to Sunday evening at 6 p.m. Additionally, both parents intend to equally share the responsibility for important decisions affecting their daughters’ lives.

Faith and Sunday were most recently seen celebrating the new year alongside Kidman. The actress posted a photo of her and the girls to her Instagram story on Friday, January 2.

Word first spread about the couple’s separation back in September when TMZ reported that multiple sources with “direct knowledge” of their personal life, had informed the outlet that they had been living apart “since the beginning of summer.”

At the time of the original reports, the split was also believed to be one-sided, with sources claiming Kidman has been making an effort to try and salvage their 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 this, sharing a statement that read, “She didn’t want this…She has been fighting to save the marriage.”

“She didn’t want this,” the source added. “She has been fighting to save the marriage.”

The country star and the the Oscar-winning actress tied the knot in June 2006 and went on to build a life together that included support each other in their careers and creating a family with their two teens.
