When Nicole Kidman met Keith Urban at the G’Day USA Gala in Los Angeles in 2005, she was instantly drawn to him. But the actress recalled a frustrating start, confessing to Ellen DeGeneres in 2017 (via TODAY):
I remember thinking, I had such a crush on him, and he wasn’t interested in me. It’s true! He didn’t call me for four months.
Keith Urban later revealed in 2018 on an Australian talk show, Interview:
Somebody had given me her number, and I had it in my pocket for a while… I wasn’t in a very healthy place in my life…I’d never have thought she’d see anything in a guy like me. But, at some point, I plucked up the courage to [dial] those numbers, and she answered, and we started talking. And we talked and talked and talked and talked, and it was effortless.
Their relationship blossomed quickly: they got engaged, married in June 2006, and welcomed daughters Sunday Rose in 2008 and Faith Margaret in 2010. Despite early hurdles, their love story seemed unshakable until recent news of their divorce surfaced after 19 years of marriage.
How Nicole Kidman Really Feels Amid Keith Urban Divorce
Nicole Kidman isn’t dwelling on regrets amid the split from Keith Urban. An insider told People that she’s “keeping it positive” and surrounded by her family and work. The source added:
She isn’t someone who dwells on regrets — she believes everything happens for a reason.
Kidman, 58, reportedly has a “great attitude and feels very grateful for her life,” looking forward to “several work projects coming up.” Earlier this month, a Page Six source described her as “sad, but moving on” from the divorce, noting she is making sure her daughters are well cared for while Urban, 57, tours.
Kidman officially filed for divorce on September 30, citing “irreconcilable differences.” In interviews with Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, Kidman reflected on resilience and navigating life’s painful moments. She told Vogue:
How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?
In a chat with Harper’s Bazaar, she confessed:
You’re going to have to feel it. You’re not going to be able to numb it. You are going to have to feel it, and it’s going to feel insurmountable at times. You’re going to feel like you’re broken, but if you move gently and slowly — and it can take an enormous amount of time — it does pass.
It’s safe to say that she is extraordinarily strong.
Did Keith Urban Lose Interest in Nicole Kidman Before Divorce?
Rumors suggest Keith Urban’s feelings for Nicole Kidman may have faded in the months leading up to their split. Sources speaking to Deuxmoi claim that while Kidman saw their marriage as lifelong, Urban began to feel differently, thinking “there’s still plenty of time for them to live their lives.”
Insiders alleged he no longer felt excitement or passion for the marriage and quietly moved out during a July trip without informing her, despite prior agreements to “work on things.” The speculation intensified after Urban’s onstage interactions with his younger guitarist, Maggie Baug, resurfaced, including a lyric change in his 2016 song The Fighter, once inspired by Kidman, now sung as
When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie I’ll be your guitar player.
Their 19-year marriage officially ended in September, with Kidman requesting primary custody of their teenage daughters. While neither party has commented publicly on the rumors, the undercurrent of a changing relationship has left fans intrigued.
