Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have officially finalized their divorce, marking the end of their 19-year marriage. A Nashville judge issued the order on Tuesday, confirming that the couple’s arrangements concerning asset division and child custody are complete. This decision comes nearly four months after Kidman filed for divorce in September, a move that took many by surprise but appears to have been in the works for some time.
The court’s filing noted that all legal matters related to their assets and the custody of their two teenage daughters were settled on the same day the divorce was filed. As Tennessee law mandates a 90-day waiting period for couples with minor children, the dissolution of their marriage follows this requirement.
Kidman, 58, is to be the primary residential parent for their daughters, reflecting a mutual agreement for continued stability in their lives. The divorce agreement specifies that neither Kidman nor Urban will require child or spousal support, and they have reached an amicable decision regarding the equitable division of their joint assets, suggesting a low-conflict conclusion to their marriage.
The couple, both prominent figures in the entertainment industry, first met in Los Angeles in 2005 and tied the knot in Sydney the following year. Over the years, they became known as a high-profile couple, frequently seen together at various award shows and public events, enjoying a supportive partnership despite some challenges that they openly acknowledged.
While this marks a significant transition for both Kidman and Urban, they remain committed to co-parenting their daughters in Nashville, where they have lived throughout their lives. With their mutual respect and understanding evident in their divorce agreement, there is hope that both parents will continue to provide a loving environment for their children as they navigate this new chapter.
