Nicole Kidman’s Emotional Battle to Save Her Marriage With Keith Urban Before Heartbreaking Split

After nearly two decades together, Hollywood power couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are officially parting ways — and according to those close to the actress, this is not the outcome she wanted.

A source revealed that Kidman was determined to hold on to her marriage, saying: “She didn’t want this. Nicole has been fighting to save the marriage.”

The news of their split was confirmed on September 29, following 19 years of marriage. The couple, who tied the knot in June 2006, share two daughters — Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

Family Support Amid the Heartache

While the separation has been difficult, insiders say Kidman’s sister, Antonia, has been her anchor during this emotional time. The entire Kidman family has reportedly rallied around the Oscar-winning star, offering her strength and comfort as she faces this new chapter in life.

Just weeks before the separation became public, Kidman posted joyful “summer memories” on Instagram, highlighting precious time spent with her daughters and extended family.

Different Paths: Nicole on Set, Keith on Tour

Kidman recently wrapped filming Practical Magic 2 in London, while Urban has been busy on the road with his ongoing tour. His next performance is scheduled for October 2 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The couple’s demanding schedules have long been a challenge, though they often spoke about finding ways to keep their bond strong.

Only a few months ago, in June, Kidman celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary by sharing a simple yet touching black-and-white photo on Instagram, writing: “Happy Anniversary Baby @KeithUrban.”

Back in December 2024, Kidman also opened up about her love for date nights with her husband. “I like being asked out, which he still does,” she shared. “Seven nights ago we went to dinner in New York. We love Japanese food, but I’m open [to everything]. I like not knowing where he’s going to take me. Surprise me, baby!”

The End of an Era

For fans, the split marks the end of one of Hollywood’s most admired love stories. From red carpet appearances to sweet anniversary tributes, Kidman and Urban’s relationship seemed like a fairytale that would last forever.

Now, with Nicole leaning on her family and Keith continuing his music journey, both stars are beginning a new chapter — apart, but forever linked by the family they built together.
