Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated after nearly 20 years of marriage

The couple have reportedly been living separately since the beginning of summer

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated after nearly two decades of marriage, The Independent has learned.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2006, share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

According to a TMZ report, they have been living separately “since the beginning of summer.”

The decision to separate was made by the “Break on Me” singer as the Babygirl actor, 58, takes care of their children and is “holding the family together through this difficult time,” a source told the outlet.

They further claimed that Kidman did not want the initial separation and had been attempting to preserve the marriage.

“Keith has acquired his own residence in Nashville and has moved out of their family home,” they said. The family’s main residence is also located in Nashville.

The Independent has contacted Urban’s representatives for comment.

Kidman and Urban were last photographed together in June while attending the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group D match between Los Angeles Football Club and Esperance de Tunis at Geodis Park in Nashville, Tennessee.

In addition to her children with Urban, Kidman also has two adult children, Bella, 32, and Connor, 30, with her ex-husband Tom Cruise.

The couple’s separation comes after the musician avoided answering a question about his wife’s sex scenes in films.

In July, the 57-year-old singer called in as a guest on Mix 102.3’s Hayley & Max in the Morning to discuss his upcoming High and Alive world tour. During the interview, hosts Hayley Peterson and Max Burford introduced a game called Wall of Truth.

“We often get put into this situation where we have to answer a very tricky question, deeply personal question,” Peterson said. “I get really uncomfortable, to be honest, asking our beautiful guests something they might be uncomfortable [answering].”

However, the conversation took a turn when Burford asked Urban a question about Kidman’s 2024 Netflix movie, A Family Affair, where her character enters a relationship with a young actor, portrayed by Zac Efron.

“I thought, ‘What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV?’” Burford asked.

However, the question went unanswered, with a producer informing the hosts that Urban had “disconnected from” the Zoom call.

“I think his team hung up on us because they didn’t want us to ask that question,” the producer explained.

“Oh my God. I knew that would happen,” Peterson said. “We’ve upset him! He’s gone.”

Burford said that Urban “was smiling” during the interview and felt like the singer was “vibing.” However, Peterson claimed that Urban doesn’t like answering questions about his famous spouse: “He doesn’t like talking about his wife.”
