Nicole Kidman files for divorce from Keith Urban, citing “irreconcilable differences”
Actress Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce from her husband, country musician Keith Urban, after nearly 20 years of marriage, according to court documents obtained Tuesday by CBS News.
The documents show that the 58-year-old Kidman filed for divorce Monday from the 57-year-old Urban in Davidson County Circuit Court in Nashville, Tennessee, where the couple resides.
She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason, per the court documents.
A separate marital dissolution agreement signed by both Kidman and Urban shows that the two reached a co-parenting arrangement that will see Kidman serve as the “primary residential parent” of their two teenage daughters, with Urban having visitation and other rights.
As part of their agreement, both are required to attend a parent education class within 60 days.
CBS News has reached out to both Kidman and Urban’s representatives for comment.

Kidman and Urban began dating in 2005 and married in 2006 in Australia, where they are both from.
“Meeting her and getting married was just, wasn’t life changing, it was life beginning,” Urban told CBS Sunday Morning of Kidman in a 2016 interview. “It was literally, like, ‘OK, life starts.'”
And in a separate 2016 interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Kidman recounted how Urban rushed to her side following the death of her father in 2014, abandoning a concert in Nashville and flying to California to be with her.
“I didn’t even know how to get up from this,” Kidman said at the time, saying she got through it “because I had a husband who came right back.”
“I called him screaming and crying, and he was about to go on stage, and he walked off stage, and he got on a plane — he’d just gotten there — he flew six hours, and he was right back,” Kidman said.
Last December, Kidman offered a glimpse into their home life, saying that the family tries to have breakfast together every morning, even with Kidman and Urban’s busy schedules.
“Even with what I’ve got now, I’ve been able to juggle things to accommodate my family, which is a fantastic thing,” Kidman told CBS News at the time. “I enjoy my home, and I enjoy my family, and I enjoy my work.”
Kidman, one of the world’s biggest movie stars, was previously married to actor Tom Cruise for a little over a decade, with whom she shares two adopted children. She is known for films including “Moulin Rouge,” “Eyes Wide Shut” and “The Hours,” for which she won an Oscar for best actress in 2003.
This is the first marriage for Urban, who has been one of country music’s most well-known acts for decades. He has won four Grammys and served as a judge on “American Idol” for several seasons.
Jennifer Lopez and Will Smith are once again being linked together online, with many people wondering if something is going on between them.
The rumours have picked up quickly but there is no real proof that the two are dating.
The viral buzz started after old videos and past gossip started circulating again on social media.
As these clips made their way back into the spotlight, some fans started connecting dots and assuming that there might be a hidden story behind it.
But so far, nothing new has actually come out to support those claims.
A lot of this opinion seems to be coming from older speculations that have been around for years, which often involving Jada Pinkett Smith and Sean Combs.
These stories, however, were never confirmed yet they keep returning every now and then.
Right now, Lopez is said to be focusing on her life and work after her high-profile split from Ben Affleck.
At the same time, Smith still shares a public bond with Jada, even though they have spoken about living separately. Moreover, they do have a past connection, as they once talked about working together on a film that never happened.
For now, it looks like this is more about old rumours coming back again rather than anything new actually happening.
Gout Gout has broken the Jamaican icon Usain Bolt’s world record, but the legend has a warning for the teen phenom.
Sprint icon Usain Bolt has advised the buzzing teen phenom from Australia Gout Gout, not to forget track and field and to find a good support network in order to remain focused on his career goals.
Gout, 18, kept the 200m title at the Australian Athletics Championship on April 12 in a time stamp of 19.67 seconds, crushing U.S. sprinter Erriyon Knighton’s world under-20 record (19.69) and edging past Bolt’s time of 19.93 seconds from 2004—the Jamaican’s fastest time as a teenager.
Gout, who also clinched the under-20 100m national title, went under the 20-second mark at last season’s championships with a wind-assisted 19.84 and once held the fastest time by a 16-year-old over 200m when he posted that time, 20.04, in 2024.
The Jamaican eight-time Olympic GOAT has some piece of advice for the teen and spoke in an interview with CNN.
Bolt expresses hope for young Gout Gout, “Hopefully he has the right set of people to guide him and keep him focused on track and field because the rest of the stuff will always be there.”
While warning the teen sprint sensation, Bolt said, “But if you mess up on track and field, then it all goes away.”
The 18-year-old Australian sprinter Gout is all geared up to make his debut in the Diamond League in the 200m in Oslo on June 10, 2026.
But with a focus on the upcoming World Under-20 Championships in Oregon in August, he has indicated that he will not be part of the Commonwealth Games, Glasgow, due in July this year.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been working behind the scenes for royal redemption despite the latest shock from the UK.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been dominating the headlines since their four-day visit to Australia.
The Montecito couple seemingly sent a message to the declining in strength royal family that they are “useful” after conducting meaningful engagements.
According to Heat World, “Harry and Meghan are very pleased with how this trip has gone. It’s given them a lot of confidence and reinforced their belief that the tide is finally turning in their favour.”
The Sussexes were ready for the critics, but their overall experience with the general public was pretty good.
An insider claimed, “It’s confirmed Harry’s belief they’re creating a groundbreaking new blueprint that will stand them in good stead moving forward – and he’s hoping it will impress the royals.”
Harry, who is expected to visit the UK for the one-year countdown event for the 2027 Birmingham Invictus Games, is reportedly aiming to sit down with his father, King Charles, for a “new chapter” after years of royal feud.
However, the monarch and royal family have been dropping clear hints about their true feelings for the Sussexes.
From not making them part of Queen Elizabeth’s 100th birthday events to Sandringham snub, the King may resolve issues inside Palace walls, but giving Harry and Meghan the same public spotlight is not on the cards, seemingly.
