Nicole Kidman has publicly acknowledged ex-husband Keith Urban for the first time since their divorce was finalized earlier this year.
The actress, 59, marked Father's Day on Sunday (June 21) by sharing a heartwarming tribute on her Instagram Stories dedicated to the fathers in her life.
The post comes six months after she and the country music star, 58, officially ended their marriage in January.
Among the images the Eyes Wide Shut actress shared were two black-and-white throwback photos, including one showing Urban carrying the former couple's daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, on his back when they were younger.
"Happy Father's Day to all the fathers," Kidman penned.
The Big Little Lies star also used the occasion to remember her late father, Dr. Antony Kidman, posting a black-and-white photograph of him carrying her as a child.
Kidman has opened up about the deep connection she shared with her dad, who died in 2014 at the age of 75, and her mother, Janelle Kidman, who passed away in September 2024, aged 84.
Reflecting on those losses during an interview with GQ in November 2024, the actress revealed she still sometimes wakes up "crying and gasping".
“Life is, whew. It's definitely a journey. And it hits you as you get older,” she told the outlet. "If you're in it and not numbing yourself to it. And I'm in it. Fully in it."
The tribute arrives months after the former couple announced their separation in September 2025, ending a marriage that lasted nearly two decades.
Kidman filed for divorce in Tennessee, citing irreconcilable differences after the pair, who married in June 2006, decided to go their separate ways.
The Academy Award winner has remained largely private about the end of her marriage, though she previously suggested her priority was helping her family navigate the difficult transition.
Speaking to Variety after the split, she said: "I'm always going to be moving toward what's good,
"What I'm grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That's that. Everything else I don't discuss out of respect," she added.
Court documents from the divorce revealed that Kidman would be the primary residential parent of Sunday and Faith, caring for them for 306 days of the year.
The actress is also mother to Bella, 33, and Connor, 31, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
While the Babygirl star marked Father's Day with a public tribute, Urban has been focused on a major professional shift.
The four-time Grammy winner recently released Flow State, his first album since the divorce, on June 12.
The project left many fans surprised as the musician moved away from his signature country sound in favor of yacht rock-inspired music, including an original collaboration with Michael McDonald.
Discussing the record in a press release, the 'Somebody Like You' singer said: "Creating FLOW STATE was one of the most unexpected albums I’ve ever made.
"In a lot of ways, it felt like the whole album had an energy and life of its own, and I was just following where it led me," he continued. "The songs we recorded were all so natural though, and I discovered a lot about how much they’ve helped shape my own music.
"There’s a reason these songs have stood the test of time, and equally so, the need for their spirit of fully disconnecting from 'the grid' and swimming in blue sky simplicity," he added.
The album features ten cover songs alongside collaborations with Little Big Town and John Mayer.
Urban and Kidman have not directly addressed the reasons behind their split.

Nicole Kidman has spoken out for the first time since her divorce from Keith Urban.
The pair split late last year, with their divorce finalized in early January 2026.
The pair, who share two daughters, 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 15-year-old Faith Margaret, decided to go their separate ways in September 2025, citing irreconcilable differences.
The split caused quite a bit of controversy, with some speculating about whether Urban had quickly moved on, and even suggesting that there might have been some strange clauses in their pre-nuptial agreement based around Urban’s substance misuse past.
Now, 58-year-old Kidman has spoken out about the end of the marriage for the first time, sitting down to chat about her upcoming project, the Practical Magic sequel, as well as Prime Video series Scarpetta.
She was asked if she was ‘doing alright’ by the interviewer and responded: "I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good.”
Kidman went on to say that she is ‘grateful’ for her family and ‘keeping them as is and moving forward’.
“That’s that,” she concluded.
On the split from Urban, she further added: "Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, 'We are a family,' and that’s what we’ll continue to be.
“My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women."

Kidman and the music star, 58, met back in 2005 before marrying the next year in 2006.
Those comments about her divorce came after a question from Variety about whether ‘every year’ is her year.
She opened up: “Well, not last year. I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell.”
Asked if she is now ready to emerge, she said: "Now I’m in a place of saying, '2026. Here we go.' I have Practical Magic with [Sandra Bullock]. I’ll be in full witch mode."
The pair’s divorce went through on January 6, citing ‘’experienced marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences’.
The couple agreed how to divide up their life together and Kidman was granted custody of the two children, although both sides agreed to keep joint decision-making about their daughters’ lives and futures.

Nicole Kidman has made her first public statement since filing for divorce from her husband of 19 years, Keith Urban.
The Oscar-winning actress, 58, took to Instagram one week after her split from the country star, sharing a carousel of images from the Chanel Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week.
Kidman attended the runway event with her daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. "
The Big Little Lies star also debuted a dramatic new hairstyle, featuring a shaggy cut and a graduated French-style fringe, showcased in a video posted by celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel.
Thank you @chanelofficial for having me and my girls?" she wrote in the post caption, adding, "So excited to be a part of it with you @matthieu_blazy."
"What a night @chanelofficial. New bang era," Abergel captioned the reel. "Chanel's new global ambassador. @nicolekidman."
Fans and friends flooded the comments with support. One user wrote: "Ok so this absolutely ate and the bangs are 10/10," while another gushed: "Nicole Kidman is hotter than ever, and this hairstyle is gorgeous on her! Awesome hairstylist!"
One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush praised her new look, writing: "The bangs! The energy! Yes ma'am!!" and a fan added, "Looking effortlessly gorgeous Nicole. I admire your resilience and wish all the best for you and your family."
The appearance comes just days after Kidman filed for divorce on September 30, citing "irreconcilable differences".
She is seeking to become the "primary residential parent" for the couple’s daughters, meaning the Babygirl star would have the girls for 306 days of the year, while the 57-year-old musician would take them for the remaining 59 days.
The divorce filing also includes details about the couple’s financial arrangements.
Both parents are listed as earning more than $100,000 per month, and neither will seek child or spousal support.
The 'Blue Ain't Your Color' singer has reportedly “prepaid all child support obligations,” and the couple has agreed to an equal division of joint assets, keeping personal earnings and royalties separate.
The divorce will not be finalized until at least 90 days after the filing, in accordance with Tennessee law.
Additionally, both parents are required to attend a parenting seminar within 60 days of the filing, per the Daily Mail.
The Chanel event also served as a milestone moment for Kidman’s career, as she confirmed her return to the French fashion house as a global ambassador.
This marks a reunion between the Eyes Wide Shut actress and Chanel under its new artistic director, Matthieu Blazy, 41.
"I am thrilled to be joining Chanel as it begins its new chapter with Matthieu at the helm," Kidman said in a statement, per Daily Mail.
"As someone who has such an appreciation for Haute Couture, I am so looking forward to witnessing Matthieu’s vision for the oldest Haute Couture House still in operation and having the opportunity to wear what I know will be gorgeous creations."
She added: "Chanel has always been ahead of the curve, shining a smart and gracious light on women, and I am sure Matthieu will be no exception, just like Karl did in his time."
Blazy celebrated the partnership as well, saying, "From the unforgettable Baz Luhrmann film to her countless red carpet looks, Nicole has always been part of the history of the House.
"Having worked with Nicole in the past and now reuniting with her at Chanel is a dream come true and couldn’t make me happier."
Among the star-studded crowd in Paris, Kidman was also joined by her niece, journalist Lucia Hawley, the daughter of her sister Antonia.

After nearly two decades together, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated. Reports surfaced this week that the Oscar-winning actress and the country music star have quietly ended their 19-year marriage.
The pair, who first met in 2005 at the G’Day USA gala in Los Angeles, quickly became one of Hollywood’s most admired couples. They announced their engagement less than a year later and married in an intimate ceremony in Sydney in June 2006.
Kidman, 58, and Urban, 57, share two daughters (Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14) while Kidman also has two older children, Isabella Jane and Connor, from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.
According to reports, Kidman officially filed for divorce on September 30, citing “irreconcilable differences.” While news of the split only recently became public, sources suggest the couple had been living apart since early summer.
Insiders close to the family said the separation came after months of strain linked to their demanding schedules. Urban’s ongoing tour and Kidman’s film commitments reportedly made it difficult for the pair to spend time together, leading to increasing distance between them.
Kidman and Urban’s marriage has long been admired for its warmth and stability, but friends say that their careers often kept them in different parts of the world. Urban has spent much of 2024 on tour, including dates across the United States and Australia, while Kidman has been filming a series of international projects.
Despite their professional success, the distance reportedly took a toll. Those close to the couple say Kidman made every effort to repair the relationship before deciding to file for divorce. She is said to have kept the situation private for months, focusing on maintaining normalcy for their children.
“Nicole has always been deeply committed to her family,” one insider noted, per Marie Claire. “She’s balancing a demanding career with motherhood and continues to put her kids first.”
As of this week, neither Kidman nor Urban has made a public statement about their separation. Both stars remain focused on their professional obligations; Kidman with upcoming film projects and Urban continuing his tour schedule.
Fans of the couple have expressed sadness over the news, with many noting that Kidman and Urban had long appeared to be one of Hollywood’s most grounded partnerships.
The pair has previously spoken about the importance of communication and family time, even amid their hectic schedules. Their separation marks the end of a significant chapter in both their lives; one defined by love, resilience, and shared achievements.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s 19-year marriage has come to an end, and an interview from earlier this summer now feels especially awkward in hindsight.
It was confirmed earlier this week that Urban, 57, and Kidman, 58, had separated. The Big Little Lies actress officially filed for divorce the following day in Nashville, citing irreconcilable differences after nearly two decades together.
Back in July, Urban appeared on On Air with Ryan Seacrest when the host praised Kidman’s relentless work schedule.
“Do people tell you your wife is in everything? Nicole Kidman is in everything,” Seacrest, 50, said.
Urban laughed and replied that she was “almost as busy” as Seacrest, but “not quite.” When asked how the couple balanced her acting projects with his touring, the four-time Grammy winner paused and responded simply: “It’s a job. Yeah. Life is in session.”
At the time, Kidman was filming Practical Magic 2 while Urban was on the road for his High and Alive World Tour, which kicked off in late May. His next stop is scheduled for this week in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Sources close to the couple told PEOPLE that Kidman had been “fighting to save the marriage” and “didn’t want this,” while those in Urban’s circle said he had been “going through some stuff” and making “questionable choices.”
“This wasn’t just a case of them drifting apart,” one insider added.
Court filings reveal the pair had already been living separately for months before the divorce paperwork was submitted. The official date of separation is listed as September 30, the same day Kidman filed.
Urban and Kidman first met at a gala in 2005 and married the following year. They went on to raise two daughters together: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
Though they celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary in June, friends reportedly felt the split was “inevitable.” The couple were last seen publicly together just days before the news broke.

Nicole Kidman made a public appearance following her split from husband Keith Urban, and fans were quick to notice something about her outfit.
The star and her country music singer ex-husband have filed for divorce after 19 years together, and will share custody of their daughters.
At an appearance on Tuesday on a Chanel red carpet, Kidman admitted that she was ‘nervous’ about appearing in public.
The pair were something of a Hollywood power couple, with a marriage that lasted nearly two decades.
Kidman and Urban share two daughters together, 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 14-year-old Faith Margaret.
Those two daughters shared the stage with their illustrious mother at the Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday 8 October.
This is the 58-year-old Australian actor’s second appearance since the split was announced, but she hasn’t quite got her poise back in front of the cameras.
In a video shared by Vogue magazine, Kidman admitted her nerves: “We're getting ready for the Chanel show, I'm just very nervous.
“Yeah I do [feel nervous], I have my daughters coming with me.”
However, she then added: “But I'm very excited for [designer] Matthieu [Blazy]because this is a big moment for him, so to be able to celebrate him with his first show with Chanel is the beginning of an incredible journey together. It's exciting, right?”
Nicole looked understated on the red carpet, but there was one specific thing that caught everyone’s eye - or lack of it, as the case may be.
Nicole was clearly keen to show off that she had cast off her wedding ring, and she was snapped blowing kisses to the crowd without it on her hand.
Kidman and Urban announced their split at the end of September, citing marital and irreconcilable differences.
The pair will share custody of the girls.
However, as per the Daily Mail, rumors are circulating that Keith has already moved on.
A source told them: “The rumor is that he's with a younger woman in the business.
“It’s all everyone is talking about.
“Everyone wants to know who, but so far, that's a mystery.”
It has also been reported that Keith has been living separately from the rest of the family for some time.
Kidman was previously married to fellow Hollywood actor Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001, and the pair adopted two children together.
