Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Reportedly Living Separately Amidst £65,000-a-Month Estate Rental
Nicole Kidman is currently residing in a sprawling North London manor steeped in history - and controversy – while her husband,Keith Urban,has not been seen at teh property,sparking speculation about the state of their 19-year marriage. The Moulin Rouge actress is reportedly paying £65,000 (approximately $AU 132,000) a month to rent the estate.
The property, built in 1868 for engineer Edward Gotto, has a complex past. It gained notoriety in 1986 when Michael Rudetsky, 27, died of a heroin overdose in the living room while visiting culture Club singer Boy George, who then owned the home. Despite the tragic history, sources say Kidman was drawn to the estate’s beauty and space. “If you put aside what must’ve gone on in that house over the years, it is stunning, in a beautiful location and it has lots of space,” one insider revealed. “It’s made for a Hollywood star. It’s close to Hampstead Heath, which is a draw for stars used to living in America.”
The mansion boasts five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a cinema, a roof terrace, and a meditation room. Boy George, 64, lived in the property until 2022, when he sold it for over $30 million after undertaking a three-year renovation project that included rejoining it with a neighboring property previously owned by Sam Smith.
An insider close to the couple noted the unusual living arrangement, stating, ”no one knows how long thay can put up with this situation as they’ve always been diligent about not spending more than two weeks apart. Clearly that’s not the case anymore.”
The estate previously featured on the Channel 4 series Selling Super Houses in 2023.
