Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban separate after 19 years of marriage.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have officially separated after 19 years of marriage, PEOPLE confirmed on Monday. The Oscar-winning actress, 58, and the country music star, 57, have decided to part ways following months of speculation. A source close to the family shared that Kidman’s sister, Antonia, has been her “rock” during the emotional transition.

“She didn’t want this,” the insider revealed. “Nicole has been fighting to save the marriage, but the family is now focused on supporting her through it all.”

TMZ was the first to report on the split, noting that the pair had been living apart since the beginning of summer.

A Marriage That Spanned Nearly Two Decades

Kidman and Urban tied the knot in June 2006 in Sydney, Australia, after meeting the year prior. They went on to welcome two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

Just three months ago, Kidman shared a heartfelt anniversary post on Instagram, writing, “Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban,” alongside a cozy photo with Urban. Despite that public show of affection, reports suggest the couple’s marriage had been under strain for some time.

Kidman has been busy with filming commitments, including wrapping Practical Magic 2 in London earlier this summer, while Urban has remained on tour across the United States. His next concert stop is scheduled for October 2 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Looking Back At Their Bond

Earlier this year, Kidman spoke fondly of her marriage, calling Urban her “deep, deep love” in an interview with PEOPLE. The actress often credited him for providing a grounding presence in her life, even as her Hollywood career soared.

The couple famously shared a unique pact: they never texted each other, opting instead to communicate only by phone calls. “We don’t text. We call. We’ve done this since the very beginning,” Kidman once said.

Kidman was previously married to Tom Cruise, with whom she adopted two children, Isabella and Connor. Urban, meanwhile, has spoken openly about how meeting Kidman transformed his personal life.
