Nicole Kidman addresses split from Keith Urban for the first time: ‘Always going to be moving toward…’
In an interview with Variety, Nicole Kidman revealed that she withdrew into her shell last year as she navigated a turbulent phase in her personal life.
Actor Nicole Kidman has spoken publicly for the first time about her split from husband Keith Urban since filing for divorce from the country music star in September 2025. Reflecting on the difficult phase, Nicole said she remains grateful for her family and is choosing to focus on preserving those relationships while moving ahead in life.
Nicole Kidman on life after split from Keith Urban
In an interview with Variety, Nicole, 58, spoke about her upcoming Practical Magic sequel, Prime Video series Scarpetta, and her personal life over the last year.
"I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good,," Nicole told the outlet when asked if she is "doing all right" in the months since she and Keith first separated.
Nicole and Keith's divorce was finalised on January 6 in Nashville court, just over three months after they announced their separation. The couple shares two daughters, 17-year-old Sunday and 15-year-old Faith.
Nicole admitted that her priority is keeping her family together while moving on in her life.
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. 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.”
The actor’s comments on her divorce came after Variety asked her whether "every year is probably the year of Nicole Kidman."
To this, she said, “Well, not last year. I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell.”
