Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s recent separation has ignited a flurry of speculation regarding the reasons behind their split, with some insiders suggesting that Kidman’s acting roles took a significant toll on their marriage. Reports indicate that Urban was increasingly uncomfortable with the sexual nature of some of Kidman’s projects. An insider revealed that Urban was troubled by how these roles could be perceived and felt uneasy about the idea of other men being physically close to her for work. Despite Kidman’s reassurances, their differences reportedly became exhausting.
The tension seems to have been exacerbated by Kidman’s candid reflections on her film experiences. She described feeling a mix of excitement and frustration while filming intimate scenes, particularly in her latest projects like “Babygirl,” where she portrays a CEO engaged in an affair with a younger intern, and in Netflix’s “A Family Affair,” which similarly features a notable age gap in romance. Kidman openly spoke about these experiences during Q&A sessions, stating that there were moments where she felt overwhelmed and frustrated while shooting intimate scenes.
Urban’s discomfort reportedly reached a point where he expressed disappointment over Kidman’s public discussions about her sexual reawakening related to her roles. Sources have indicated that Urban’s worries about the film “Babygirl” were compounded by fears of being ridiculed, leading to further strain in their relationship.
The couple, who shares two daughters, Faith Margaret and Sunday Rose, announced their divorce on September 29, with Kidman filing the following day. Reports suggest that Kidman was caught off guard by the split, feeling blindsided and devastated while believing there was still hope for their marriage.
As they navigate this tumultuous period, both Kidman and Urban are expected to focus on co-parenting their daughters and moving forward in their respective careers. While the end of their romance is undoubtedly painful, it also opens a new chapter for both individuals, allowing them to pursue their passions and personal growth.
