Nicole Kidman has opened up about her earth-shattering divorce from Keith Urban for the first time since the pair filed back in September 2025 and it sounds like our gal’s healing era has been going swimmingly.
Ahead of the release of her new Prime Video flick Scarpetta — based on the juicy novel by Patricia Cornwell — Kidman sat down with Variety. When asked if she was “doing alright” since the split, she responded: “I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good”.
“What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that,” Kidman added. “Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. 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.”
Kidman and Urban first met in 2005 and tied the knot the following year, quickly becoming one of entertainment’s most beloved power couples. Over the course of their nearly two-decade relationship, the pair welcomed two daughters together — Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, 17, and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, 15.
At the start of the interview, Variety asked Kidman whether “every year is probably the year of Nicole Kidman”.
“Well, not last year,” she responded. “I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell.”
The interviewer then questioned if she’s “ready to come out of [her] shell”, to which she responded: “Now I’m in a place of saying, ‘2026. Here we go’. I have Practical Magic with [Sandra Bullock]. I’ll be in full witch mode.”
According to a report from PEOPLE, Kidman’s divorce filing, which was submitted in Davidson County, Tennessee, stated that the former couple had “experienced marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences”, which ultimately led her to begin divorce proceedings against Urban.
Court documents also revealed that the pair had already reached an agreement on how to divide their personal belongings by the time the filing became public in September.
The divorce was later finalised on January 6, with Nicole Kidman granted primary custody of the couple’s daughters at her Nashville residence. Both Kidman and Urban agreed to share joint responsibility when it comes to making major decisions about their children’s lives moving forward.
Scarpetta is now streaming on Prime Video.
