Nicole Kidman breaks silence for the first time since Keith Urban divorce

Actor Nicole Kidman has spoken publicly for the first time about her divorce from country singer Keith Urban, sharing a brief but emotional message about moving forward while keeping her family close.

Kidman, 58, addressed the split during a new interview with Variety published on March 11, months after she filed for divorce from Urban in September 2025. The couple finalised their divorce on January 6.

When asked how she has been coping since the separation, Kidman offered a measured response.

“I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good,” she said when asked whether she was doing all right.

The actress also emphasised that her focus remains on her family and her two daughters with Urban.

“What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that,” Kidman said. “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 Urban first met in 2005 and married the following year. The former couple share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15.

Court documents previously reported by PEOPLE magazine stated that the pair experienced “marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences”, which led Kidman to file for divorce in Davidson County, Tennessee.

The divorce settlement, finalised in January, granted Kidman primary custody of their daughters at her Nashville residence, while both parents agreed to share responsibility for major decisions involving their children.

In the interview, Kidman also reflected on the past year and hinted at a renewed focus on work after stepping back from the spotlight.

“Well, not last year. I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell,” she said.

But the actress suggested she is ready to move forward.

“Now I’m in a place of saying, ‘2026. Here we go.’”

Kidman is preparing for several upcoming projects, including the sequel to Practical Magic, which will reunite her with co-star Sandra Bullock and is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on September 11.

Despite the personal changes over the past year, Kidman indicated that her priority remains spending time with her children.

“I’ve got to take care of these kids,” she said. “That’s sort of in my ‘Future’ folder.”
