Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Separate After 19 Years of Marriage: A Love Story Ends
Hollywood power couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have officially separated after 19 years of marriage, shocking fans around the world. Their story has been one of romance, resilience, and partnership — and though their marriage has come to an end, their journey together remains one of the most memorable love stories in entertainment.
How Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban First Met
Nicole Kidman, fresh off her Oscar-winning performance in The Hours, met rising country superstar Keith Urban at the G’Day USA Gala in Los Angeles in January 2005.
At the time, Kidman was one of Hollywood’s most respected actresses, and Urban was already making waves in Nashville with his heartfelt songs and undeniable talent. Their chemistry was instant, though Kidman later admitted she wasn’t sure if Urban was interested in her at first.
“I remember thinking, he’s such a gentleman,” Kidman once recalled. “But it took him a few months to call me.”
A Whirlwind Romance and Fairytale Wedding
When Urban finally reached out, the connection was undeniable. Within months, their romance became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about relationships.
In June 2006, just over a year after their first meeting, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban tied the knot in a romantic candlelit ceremony at St. Patrick’s Estate in Manly, Australia. Surrounded by family, friends, and A-list guests, the couple exchanged vows in what would become one of the most iconic celebrity weddings of the decade.
Struggles, Challenges, and Triumphs
Like any marriage, Kidman and Urban’s relationship faced challenges. Only a few months after their wedding, Urban entered rehab for struggles with addiction. Instead of pulling away, Kidman stood firmly by his side.
“That was very, very hard,” she admitted years later, “but it was also an extraordinary moment of support and love. It solidified us.”
The couple went on to welcome two daughters — Sunday Rose, born in 2008, and Faith Margaret, born in 2010. They built their family life between Nashville, Los Angeles, and Australia, balancing Urban’s touring schedule with Kidman’s demanding film career.
Their resilience and openness about struggles made them beloved by fans who admired not just their success, but their loyalty to one another.
19 Years of Love and Partnership
Over nearly two decades together, the couple frequently gushed about each other in interviews. Urban often credited Kidman with saving his life, while Kidman praised her husband’s grounding presence and unconditional love.
They were fixtures at red carpets, award shows, and charity events, always appearing to be deeply in love. From Keith Urban writing songs inspired by their relationship to Nicole Kidman dedicating heartfelt speeches to her husband, their bond seemed unbreakable.
The Reported Separation
In September 2025, news broke that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated after 19 years of marriage.
While neither star has released a full statement yet, sources close to the couple suggest the decision was mutual and centered on growing apart after years of demanding careers and life changes.
For fans, the announcement is heartbreaking, given the couple’s reputation as one of Hollywood and Nashville’s most enduring love stories.
Legacy of Their Love Story
No matter what comes next, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s nearly 20-year marriage will be remembered as one of Hollywood’s most iconic unions. Their journey was filled with love, challenges, healing, and growth — and though they’ve chosen to part ways, their story has left an indelible mark on both their industries and the hearts of fans worldwide.
As they move forward separately, both remain dedicated to their careers and, most importantly, to their daughters.
