Nicole Kidman Cites “Irreconcilable differences” in Split from Keith Urban, Echoing Past Divorce from Tom cruise
Los Angeles, CA – Actress Nicole Kidman and country music star Keith Urban have ended their marriage, according to reports confirmed by Peopel magazine on October 2nd, 2023.The news follows initial reporting by TMZ on September 29th, and marks a second divorce for Kidman where “irreconcilable differences” were cited as the reason for the split – the same phrasing used in her 2001 divorce from Tom Cruise.
The separation has drawn renewed attention to a past comment made by Kidman following her divorce from Cruise, where she jokingly attributed her height to wearing heels to avoid appearing shorter than him. while Kidman has not made similar remarks following the split from Urban, the parallel in stated reasons for divorce has sparked discussion about the complexities of long-term relationships.
Kidman and Urban married in 2006 after meeting the previous year.Sources close to the couple indicated to TMZ that Urban had moved into a separate residence earlier in 2023, residing apart from Kidman and their two daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14.
According to People, sources suggest the separation stemmed from diverging life paths. “Their lives were moving in different directions,” one source stated. Another source added, “Once he quietly set up his own place, it felt like the writing was on the wall,” and that “people close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable.”
