Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have officially concluded their divorce, bringing an end to their 19-year marriage. A Nashville judge finalized the proceedings on Tuesday, confirming that terms regarding asset division and child custody have been established. This development comes nearly four months after Kidman filed for divorce in September, a decision that caught many off guard but seemed to have been anticipated for some time.
The court filing indicated that all legal matters related to their assets and the custody of their two teenage daughters were resolved on the same day the divorce was initiated. Under Tennessee law, there is a mandatory 90-day waiting period for couples with minor children, which the couple has adhered to in this instance.
At the heart of the divorce agreement is the arrangement that Kidman, 58, will serve as the primary residential parent for their daughters, a decision reflecting their commitment to maintaining stability in their children’s lives. Importantly, neither party will seek child or spousal support, and they have amicably agreed on the fair distribution of their shared assets, suggesting a constructive and low-conflict conclusion to their marriage.
Kidman and Urban, both iconic figures in the entertainment world, first met in Los Angeles in 2005 and married in Sydney the following year. Over the years, they have been celebrated as a well-known couple, often seen supporting each other at various award shows and public events, despite facing some challenges along the way.
While this marks a new chapter in their lives, both Kidman and Urban remain dedicated to co-parenting their daughters in Nashville, where the family has lived throughout the years. Their demonstrated mutual respect and understanding, as highlighted in their divorce agreement, provides hope that they will continue to foster a nurturing environment for their children as they navigate this transition together.
