Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s fairytale marriage has come to a crushing end, with a Nashville judge officially dissolving their 19-year union on Tuesday. The news has left fans reeling, as the couple had been a beloved fixture on the red carpet for nearly two decades.
The couple’s divorce filing, which was submitted in September, cited “marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. Despite their efforts to keep their marital woes private, it’s clear that the relationship had been troubled for some time.
In a heartbreaking development, the couple’s teenage daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith, will be living with Kidman for the majority of the year. According to the divorce agreement, Kidman will be the primary residential parent, with Urban getting the remaining 59 days of the year or “every other weekend” with the girls.
The agreement also stipulates that both parents must “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”. The couple has also vowed not to speak badly of each other or their respective families, in a bid to provide a stable environment for their children.
Despite their reported monthly incomes “in excess of $100,000”, neither parent will need child or spousal support, with a roughly equal division of their joint assets. The couple’s divorce is a far cry from the lavish lifestyle they once shared, with Kidman and Urban regularly attending high-profile events together.
The marriage was the first for Urban and the second for Kidman, who was previously married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001. Kidman also has two older children with Cruise, making this her second divorce in two decades.
As news of the divorce broke, fans took to social media to express their shock and sadness. “I’m so sad to hear about Nicole and Keith’s divorce,” one fan wrote. “They were one of my favourite celebrity couples.” Another fan added, “I had no idea they were having problems. They always seemed so in love.”
