Nicole Kidman Files for Divorce! Keith Urban's Side of the Story (Just Kidding, It's All About Her Now)
😢 Nineteen Years of Love... POP! It's Over!
Guess what, kids? Big movie star Nicole Kidman (who is 57 and has an Oscar, which is like a super shiny trophy!) filed papers to split up from her singer husband, Keith Urban (also 57). This happened in a place called Nashville on Tuesday, September 30th. They were married for 19 loooong years! Can you believe it? That’s like, forever in grown-up time!
✨ Nicole's New Motto: Focus, Focus, Focus!
A helper person told the PEOPLE magazine crew that Nicole is only thinking about two big things now: her family and her job. That's it! She just got back from visiting cool places in Europe, and now she’s super positive. She says, "Oopsie! Things happen for a reason!" No time for crying over spilled milk!
📰 The Big News Drops!
People started whispering about them breaking up on September 29th. The very next day, Nicole went to the grown-up courthouse and said, "I want a divorce!" She wrote down that they just couldn't agree on stuff anymore (those are called "irreconcilable differences" – fancy words for "we fought too much"). She said the split happened the day she filed. Bye-bye, marriage!
👧👧 Two Sweet Girls Left Behind
Nicole and Keith got married way back in 2006. They have two daughters: Sunday Rose (who is 17, a teenager!) and Faith Margaret (who is 14). When Nicole filed the papers, she asked to be the main person in charge of the girls' care (that's called "custody").
🚀 Work, Work, Work! Future is Calling!
That same helper person said Nicole is feeling good and thankful for her life. She has tons of new movies and TV shows she is super excited about! Think of it like leveling up in a video game!
She's got:
- New shows called Margo’s Got Money Troubles and Scarpetta.
- Season three of Big Little Lies (more drama!).
- Practical Magic 2 with her friend Sandra Bullock! (Sandra even posted that filming was FINISHED on September 13th!)
💬 What Nicole Said About Sad Times
Nicole did an interview with a fancy magazine (Harper’s Bazaar) after the divorce news came out. She talked about how being sad is hard, but...
"It’s good to know that no matter how much ouchie pain or how broken you feel, there is a way out. It might feel impossible sometimes, but if you take small, slow steps, the pain goes away after a long, long time."
A different person close to the family whispered to PEOPLE on October 2nd that Nicole was nervous about everyone finding out. But guess what? She is acting super calm and strong and is only thinking about her future and her two daughters!
🤝 Family Hugs All Around!
On September 29th, another insider said Nicole had actually been trying to save the marriage for months, even though they weren't together in secret. The whole family is helping her feel better! Her sister, Antonia, even went for a walk with her on October 1st. It was the first time anyone saw Nicole out since the split news broke!
🎤 The Final Word (So Far!)
So, Nicole Kidman is now focusing on her job and her kids. Divorce is hard, but she's marching forward like a boss!
