Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, the Hollywood power couple who wed in 2006, have broken up, a source confirms to Vanity Fair. According to TMZ, the two Aussies have been living apart in their hometown of Nashville for months, since the beginning of the summer. The gossip site indicates that Urban initiated the separation.
The Oscar winner and the country singer share two teenage daughters, Sunday and Faith. They’ve earned a reputation for being one of the entertainment industry’s most devoted couples. In a 2007 Vanity Fair cover story, shortly after she and Urban got married, Kidman spoke candidly about her feelings for her new husband: “Since getting married, I’ve passed on things,” she says. “I do not want to be living my life away from the person I love. I just won’t do it.” In 2021, Urban called marrying Kidman his greatest achievement.
In 2022, Urban spoke to The Sun about his marriage and maintaining his sobriety: “I still make the odd mistake, but not anything like I did in the past—and these days I see them coming before everything implodes,” he explained. “Work-life balance is never really achieved, it is maintained. It can easily go out of whack. I’ve learned a lot about how to correct them. Umpteen years ago I never corrected things until it was too late, but now I see it starting to go out and I’m much better at catching it before things implode.” He made headlines again this summer, when he hung up on a radio show after the hosts asked what he thinks when he sees Kidman films that include sex scenes.
Reps for both have not responded to requests for comment.
