New Delhi: Nicole Kidman opens up about her shocking split from husband Keith Urban for the first time. The Hollywood star, who filed for divorce last year, shared her feelings in a candid interview.

She talks about staying strong for her family and moving forward with grace amid the heartbreak. Fans are buzzing over her emotional words on love, loss, and life after 19 years together.

Kidman’s first public words

Nicole Kidman, 58, spoke to Variety magazine about her divorce from country singer Keith Urban, 58, which was finalised on January 6, 2026, in a Nashville court. The couple separated in September 2025 after 19 years of marriage, sharing daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15. In the interview, Kidman reflected on the tough year while promoting her upcoming projects like the Practical Magic sequel and Prime Video’s Scarpetta.

Focus on family and gratitude

Kidman said she is doing okay by choosing positivity. “I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good,” she told Variety when asked if she is “doing all right” post-split. She stressed her main goal is to keep the family close. “What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect,” Kidman added. “I’m staying in a place of ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”

Quiet year amid changes

The actress admitted that 2025 was not her usual busy time. When Variety noted “every year is probably the year of Nicole Kidman,” she replied, “Well, not last year. I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell.” This marks her first public comments since the divorce filing on September 30, 2025, citing irreconcilable differences.

Divorce details and parenting plan

The ex-couple waived child and spousal support, with each paying their own legal fees, as reported by People magazine. Their parenting agreement requires them to “behave with each other and each child to provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced.” Kidman has been spotted spending quality time with her daughters since the split. This is Urban’s first marriage and Kidman’s second, after her union with Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001.
