Nicole Kidman Addresses Keith Urban Divorce For The First Time

Nicole Kidman has spoken for the first time about her split from her husband of 20 years, Keith Urban.

The Oscar winner and Australian country star were reported to have split late last year, with their divorce being finalised in January.

During a new interview with Variety, the Moulin Rouge! star was asked if she was doing well since the split, to which she responded: “I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good.

“What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that.”

She continued: “Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family’, and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”

The former couple tied the knot in 2006, and during their marriage, they welcomed two daughters, 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 15-year-old Faith Margaret.

Nicole had previously been married to fellow actor Tom Cruise, with whom she adopted a son and daughter over the course of their time together.

Earlier in her Variety, Nicole admitted she’d been “in my shell” for much of 2025, which proved to be a tough year for her, having lost her mum months before it began as well as dealing with the end of her marriage.

“Now I’m in a place of saying, ‘2026. Here we go’,” she enthused, referring to the upcoming Practical Magic sequel with Sandra Bullock as one thing she’s especially excited about.

She also discussed losing her mum, claiming that she believes her late mother pays her visits in the form of ladybirds.

“I said that to my daughter the other day,” she explained. “We saw one and I said, ‘Grandmama’s here!’. My daughter looked at me like I was crazy and said, ‘No, Mum. That’s a ladybug’. I said, ‘Absolutely not. It’s your grandmother’.

“Whether it’s true or not, it’s soothing. I’ll accept that.”
