Major twist in Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's divorce as 'girlfriend' rumors circulate


The news of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce has rocked their inner circle. The couple’s split, which was made public in late September 2025, came as a surprise to many, especially Kidman, who reportedly believed that the couple was on the mend. Despite their separation, sources close to the actress have revealed that she might still be open to reconciliation, depending on where Urban stands in his emotional journey.

Kidman, 58, filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences" after 19 years of marriage. Though the announcement left her blindsided, insiders believe she would be willing to rekindle the relationship if Urban hasn't already moved on. One confidante shared, "She would get back with him in a heartbeat."

A close look at the break-up timeline

At the time of their split, reports indicated that Kidman and Urban had been living apart for several months, but had been working through their marital issues. When news of their separation broke, many assumed it was a mutual decision, but a source revealed that by then, Urban had already made up his mind about ending the marriage. Nicole, who had hoped to save their relationship, was shocked by the finality of his decision.

With rumors swirling about Urban possibly moving on, including speculation about relationships with younger women such as 25-year-old country star Maggie Baugh and singer Kelsea Ballerini, Kidman’s circle is concerned. "That would be a worst-case scenario for her," said a source, adding more emotional weight to the situation. For now, it remains unclear if Urban is dating anyone seriously, with some insiders claiming his relationships with Baugh and Ballerini are strictly platonic.

Co-parenting and the future ahead

Nicole and Keith share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, and reports indicate that their custody arrangement will see the girls living with their mother for the majority of the year. Sources have also stated that Nicole has asked to be designated as the primary residential parent. While the situation remains difficult for all parties involved, especially the children, Nicole's inner circle is supporting her as she navigates the next chapter of her life.

As Nicole focuses on co-parenting and healing, the path ahead remains uncertain. Despite the breakup, the possibility of reconciliation is not entirely off the table—if both parties are willing to reconsider their past and future together.
