Shocking Split! Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s 19-Year Marriage Ends in Heartbreak

What's Behind the Split? Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's 19-Year Marriage Ends in Separation

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated from marriage after 19 years, PEOPLE confirmed on Monday. The Oscar-winning actress, 58, and the country music singer, 57, called it quits after months of rumors surrounding the state of their relationship. Kidman’s sister, Antonia, has been her “rock” throughout the emotional process, according to a family source.

“She did not want this,” the source revealed. “Nicole has been trying to keep the marriage together, but the family now wants to support her through it.” According to TMZ reports, the couple had been separated since early summer. Kidman and Urban met for the first time in 2005. They got married in June 2006 in Sydney, Australia. The couple has two daughters—Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

Only three months ago, Kidman had shown her devotion with a romantic anniversary post on Instagram, “Happy Anniversary Baby @KeithUrban,” captioning a snuggly photo of the pair. Although the romantic post was made, insiders reveal their relationship had been rocky for a while. Kidman has been occupied with her movie work, working on Practical Magic 2 in London, while Urban has been touring the States, with his next performance on October 2 for Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Back in January, Kidman had gushed over her husband, calling Urban her “deep, deep love” during an interview with PEOPLE. She frequently attributed him as a constant presence amidst her hectic Hollywood schedule. The two also kept their communication retro-style—preferencing phone calls to texts since they started dating.

Kidman was previously married to Tom Cruise, whom she adopted two children, Isabella and Connor. Urban has often credited Kidman for changing his life, both personally and professionally.
