Nicole Kidman Makes First Public Appearance Since Filing for Divorce From Keith Urban
After nearly two decades of marriage, Nicole Kidman has been seen in public for the first time since officially filing for divorce from Keith Urban.
The Oscar-winning actress, 58, was photographed on Wednesday, October 1, hiking in Nashville alongside her sister, Antonia Kidman. The sighting came just two days after news broke that the longtime couple had separated following 19 years of marriage.
Hiking in Nashville With Family Support
Photos published by The Daily Mail show Kidman dressed casually in oversized sunglasses, a grey baseball cap, a zip-up jacket, and black leggings. Walking alongside her sister, Antonia, Kidman appeared relaxed yet reflective as she took to the trails near her Tennessee home.
A source previously told PEOPLE that Antonia has been “a rock” for her sister during this emotional time, adding: “Nicole’s entire family has come together to support one another.”
Divorce Filing Confirmed in Court Records
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Kidman filed for divorce on September 30 in Nashville, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The paperwork also listed the official date of separation as the day of filing.
The couple married in June 2006 and share two daughters: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Kidman is also mother to Isabella (Bella), 32, and Connor, 30, from her first marriage to Tom Cruise.
Sources Say “It Wasn’t a Secret”
Reports suggest the breakup had been building for months. On September 29, insiders revealed that Urban had quietly set up his own home, signaling that the marriage was already unraveling.
“It really hasn’t been a secret in their circles that Keith and Nicole have been living separately for a while now,” a source told PEOPLE. “People close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable.”
Another insider added: “Their lives were moving in different directions. Once he set up his own place, it felt like the writing was on the wall.”
Last Public Appearance Together
Kidman and Urban were last seen together this past summer at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup match between Los Angeles Football Club and Esperance de Tunis at GEODIS Park in Nashville on June 20.
The outing came just days before their 19th wedding anniversary. On June 25, Kidman marked the occasion with a heartfelt Instagram post, sharing a cozy black-and-white photo with the caption: “Happy Anniversary Baby @KeithUrban.”
Three months later, the once fairy-tale romance came to an end.
A Hollywood Love Story Ends
For years, Kidman and Urban were admired as one of Hollywood’s most enduring couples, often sharing affectionate moments on red carpets and social media. Their separation, though long rumored, marks the end of an era — and fans around the world are still processing the news.
With Kidman leaning on her sister and family, and Urban focusing on his tour schedule, the two are now moving forward on separate paths while continuing their shared role as parents.
