Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban split after nearly 20 years of marriage
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated after nearly 20 years of marriage, multiple people familiar with the situation said, with the couple living apart since the beginning of the summer and their two daughters residing with Kidman. The separation was first reported publicly on Monday, and friends and family have since been described as rallying around the actress.
Sources close to the couple said Urban, 57, has moved out of the family home in Nashville and established his own residence in the city. Kidman, 58, has been caring for their daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, and has been attempting to hold the family together during the split. An insider said Kidman did not want the separation and has been trying to save the marriage, while another described the end of their partnership as a situation that sometimes simply runs its course.
Friends and relatives have reportedly offered support to Kidman, with one source noting that her sister and extended family have been particularly involved. Neither Kidman nor Urban has issued a public statement, and representatives for both did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
