Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Reportedlyโค Livingโข Separately Amidst ยฃ65,000-a-Month Estate Rental
Nicole Kidman is currently residing in a sprawling North London manor steeped in history -โ and controversy – while her husband,Keith Urban,has not been seen at teh โproperty,sparking speculation about the state of their 19-year marriage. The Moulin Rouge actress is reportedlyโ payingโฃ ยฃ65,000 (approximately $AU 132,000) a month to rent the โขestate.
The property,โ built in 1868 for engineer Edward Gotto, has a complex past.โฃ It gained notoriety in 1986 when Michael Rudetsky, 27,โค diedโ of a heroin overdose in โthe living room while visiting culture Club singer Boy George, who thenโ owned the home. Despite the tragic history, sources say Kidman was drawn โto the โestate’s beauty and โspace. “If you put asideโฃ what must’ve gone on in that house over the years, it is stunning, โฃinโค a beautiful location and it has lots ofโ space,” one insider revealed. “It’s made for a Hollywood star. It’s close to Hampstead Heath, which is a draw for starsโค used to living in America.”
The mansion boasts five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a cinema, aโ roof terrace, and a meditation room. Boy George, 64, lived in the property until 2022, when he sold โit for over $30 million after โคundertaking a three-yearโ renovation project that included rejoining it with โคa neighboring property previously owned by Sam Smith.
An insider close to the couple noted the โunusualโฃ living arrangement, โฃstating, โ”no oneโฃ knows how long โthay can put up with this situation as they’ve always been diligent about not spending more โขthan two weeks apart. Clearly that’s โฃnot theโค case anymore.”
The estateโฃ previously featured on the Channel 4 โseriesโฃ Selling Super Houses in 2023.
