Inside Nicole Kidman's Divorce: Naomi Watts' Wise Words of Support
NICOLE KIDMAN'S PUBLIC SHAMMER: Sources Claim Oscar Winner's Marriage to Keith Urban Crumbling Amid Scandalous Split
In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood A-lister Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce from her country music crooner husband Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage. The 58-year-old actress, known for her iconic roles in films like "Moulin Rouge!" and "Big Little Lies," has been dealing with the aftermath of their split, which sources claim was a result of the couple's inability to cope with the pressures of fame.
The Aussie Actress Turns to BFF Naomi Watts
According to insiders close to Kidman, her best friend since teenage years, Australian actress Naomi Watts, 57, has been a rock for her throughout this difficult time. "Nic has been calling Naomi nonstop, trying to make sense of everything," a source revealed to The Scholarly Note.com. Watts, who's no stranger to heartbreak having gone through high-profile splits with Heath Ledger and Liev Schreiber, is said to have given Kidman sage advice on how to navigate the spotlight while dealing with personal tragedy.
The Secret to Naomi's Success: Honesty and Vulnerability
Insiders claim that Watts has encouraged Kidman to be open about her feelings and experiences, just like she did during her own tumultuous relationships. "Naomi told Nic to get everything out in the open, so fans can process and move on," the source spilled. This approach seems to have worked wonders for Watts herself, who's now thriving in a loving marriage with actor Billy Crudup.
A Deep Friendship Born in Sydney
The bond between Kidman and Watts dates back to their teenage years when they met at an audition for an '80s swimsuit commercial in Sydney, Australia. They instantly clicked during the waiting period, and their friendship only grew stronger when they collaborated on the 1991 film "Flirting." The redheaded duo has been inseparable ever since, with Watts even referring to Kidman as "like the sister I never had."
Kidman's Sister Antonia: A Support System Like No Other
While Naomi is undoubtedly a pillar of strength for Kidman during this challenging time, her own sister Antonia, 55, has also been instrumental in providing emotional support. Sources claim that Antonia has been a steady presence for Nicole, helping to keep the family together despite the turmoil.
A Glimpse into the Couple's Private Life
The news of their split comes after months of rumors about the couple's difficulties. Insiders had previously revealed that Kidman and Urban were living separate lives, with the actress filming "Practical Magic 2" in London while her husband was on tour. The couple has two daughters together, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
Nicole Opens Up About Missing Her Family During COVID Lockdown
In a previous interview, Kidman confessed to struggling with the physical distance between her family during the COVID-19 pandemic while filming "Expats" in Hong Kong. She shared, "I was missing my kids and my husband... We loved Hong Kong, we were able to shoot really in the city, everything in there is authentic."
The Impact of COVID on Nicole's Performance
Kidman also revealed that she found it difficult to perform without her family by her side. She candidly shared with The Guardian newspaper, "I was alone in Hong Kong without my family, which was a terrible mistake... That affected the performance, to the degree that it also affected my psyche."
As Kidman navigates this public shammer, fans can't help but wonder what the future holds for the beloved actress. Will she follow Watts' lead and find love again? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – Nicole Kidman is not going down without a fight.
