Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman Divorce: Actress Files for Custody of Daughters
Country music star Keith Urban and actress Nicole Kidman have officially parted ways, with Kidman filing for divorce on September 30, 2025. The couple, who married in 2006, shares two daughters, Sunday and Faith. Kidman has requested primary residential custody of their minor children.
The split has been a sensitive topic for Urban. In Nashville, during a performance with Maggie Baugh, a 25-year-old musician from his tour band, Urban cleverly deflected a fan's mention of Kidman by asking if they meant Nicole Richie. Earlier in the tour, Urban had helped a fan announce her pregnancy during a show at Bridgestone Arena, demonstrating his ability to handle unexpected situations with charm.
Kidman, devastated by the separation, had been attempting to salvage their marriage. However, Urban's public performance with Baugh in September 2025, where he altered a song lyric to include her name, raised eyebrows. Kidman's decision to file for divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences', suggests a complex and emotional situation for both parties.
The divorce filing brings an end to one of Hollywood's most high-profile marriages. Kidman's request for primary custody indicates her intention to maintain a stable environment for their daughters. Urban, meanwhile, continues his tour, navigating the public eye with his characteristic wit and grace.
