Nicole Kidman has addressed her divorce from Keith Urban for the first time, emphasizing her commitment to family and maintaining a respectful distance from public discussion of the split. The Oscar-winning actress, in a recent interview with Variety, shared her perspective on navigating a challenging period while prioritizing the well-being of her two daughters.
The couple, married for 19 years, finalized their divorce in January 2026, citing irreconcilable differences. While the separation marked a significant change, Kidman underscored her focus on preserving a sense of unity and positivity for her family. The actress’s comments reach after a period of relative silence following the filing for divorce in September 2025, a move that garnered widespread media attention.
“I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good,” Kidman told Variety. “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 reiterated her desire to maintain a familial bond, stating, “I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be.”
The divorce settlement, according to court records, reflects a mutual agreement to waive both alimony and child support payments. The agreement also stipulates that both Kidman and Urban will refrain from speaking negatively about each other or involving their children in any conflict, and will actively encourage a loving relationship between the children and both parents.
Kidman, 58, acknowledged a period of withdrawal following the separation. “Last year, I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell,” she said. Despite the personal challenges, she remains committed to her work and her community, noting that Nashville has been her home for the past 20 years. “We have our life here,” she explained. “I’m part of the city and community for 20 years. It’s my home.”
