Nicole Kidman Keith Urban divorce finalized in January 2026 brings closure to their nearly 20-year marriage, with the couple waiving child support spousal support, agreeing to joint custody daughters, and prioritizing a drama-free celebrity divorce settlement for Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.
One of entertainment’s most enduring romances has officially come to an end. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, who captivated fans with their fairy-tale wedding in 2006, are now legally single following a swift and amicable divorce process.
Court documents filed in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 6, 2026, reveal that a judge approved their settlement agreement just months after Kidman initiated proceedings in late September 2025, citing irreconcilable differences. The Oscar-winning actress and Grammy-winning country star have agreed to joint custody of their two teenage daughters, Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (15), with detailed parenting plans ensuring both parents remain actively involved.
In a notable move reflecting their financial independence, both parties waived rights to child support and spousal support. Sources close to the couple emphasize that assets were divided privately, avoiding public disputes over their substantial combined wealth—estimated at over $400 million.
The separation was first reported in September 2025, catching many off guard despite subtle signs like separate public appearances. Kidman, 58, and Urban, 58, had long been admired for overcoming early challenges, including Urban’s rehab stint shortly after their marriage, emerging stronger with a blended family (Kidman also shares two adult children with ex Tom Cruise).
No official statements detailed the reasons, but insiders suggest growing apart amid demanding careers—Kidman’s thriving film slate and Urban’s touring schedule—played a role. Rumors of Urban’s closeness with younger collaborators surfaced but remain unconfirmed.
Public reactions poured in swiftly. Fans expressed shock and sadness on social media, with many praising the low-drama approach: “Classy till the end—wishing them both happiness,” read one viral post. Others reflected on their red-carpet magic, sharing throwback photos from events like the 2025 ACM Awards where they appeared blissful.
Celebrity peers offered support subtly—Reese Witherspoon, Kidman’s frequent collaborator, liked her recent Instagram posts, while country stars like Carrie Underwood commented hearts on Urban’s feeds.
Entertainment experts note this as a rare “conscious uncoupling” in Hollywood, similar to Gwyneth Paltrow’s split. “They prioritized the kids and privacy,” said a divorce attorney specializing in high-profile cases, highlighting how prenups and mutual respect streamlined the process.
For U.S. audiences, the news resonates beyond gossip. It touches on lifestyle shifts in long-term relationships, especially for dual-career parents balancing fame and family. Politically neutral yet culturally significant, it sparks conversations on modern marriage amid rising divorce rates post-pandemic.
Economically, no major fallout expected—both continue thriving professionally, with Kidman starring in upcoming projects and Urban touring. Fans speculate on future collaborations or public reunions for their daughters’ milestones.
Kidman’s New Year’s message—”Looking forward into 2026″—now carries deeper meaning, signaling optimism. Urban has stayed quiet but was spotted focusing on music.
