Keith Urban's 'Babygirl' Tattoo: A Nod to Nicole Kidman Amidst Marriage Split Rumors

Nicole Kidman 's mark was literally left all over husband Keith Urban 's body as Daily Mail has confirmed their split after 19 years of marriage (the former couple are seen in Texas in May)

SHOCKING CELEBRITY SPLIT: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's 19-Year Marriage Ends in Irreconcilable Differences

The entertainment world is reeling from the news of one of Hollywood's most iconic power couples' breakup. Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, 58, and country music superstar Keith Urban, 57, have reportedly split after nearly two decades of marriage. The shocking revelation comes just weeks after Kidman celebrated their 19-year wedding anniversary with a heartfelt tribute on social media.

Sources close to the couple confirm that they have been living apart for some time due to their hectic schedules. Kidman's demanding film career and Urban's grueling touring schedule have taken a toll on their relationship, leading to an inevitable split. The insider reveals that Kidman was "blindsided" by the news of their breakup.

The couple's 19-year marriage has been marked by periods of turbulence, including Urban's struggles with addiction in the early days of their relationship. In a poignant speech last year, Urban reflected on how he nearly destroyed his marriage just months after they tied the knot. He revealed that he was struggling with addiction when he first met Kidman and credited her love and support for helping him overcome his demons.

Urban has been open about his struggles in the past, revealing that he grew up watching his father's heavy drinking habits. He admitted it took him "a long time to get sober" because he didn't "recognize" his alcoholism. Despite their differences, Kidman and Urban have always spoken fondly of each other, with Urban describing her as "ethereal, angelic, other worldly, very mystical and then completely down to earth at the same time and very funny."

Their love story began in 2005 when they met at the G'Day LA event. Urban was immediately smitten, admitting that he thought Kidman was "well out of his league." He recalled being drawn to her kindness and empathy, saying, "She seemed well out of my league at that time in my life."

The racy film centered around Nicole's character Romy who is a high-powered CEO who puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern portrayed by Harris Dickinson, now 29, who is nearly three decades her junior

The couple tied the knot in 2006 during a traditional Catholic ceremony at the Cardinal Cerretti Chapel in Sydney. They have two beautiful daughters together: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

But behind closed doors, the cracks began to show. In a dramatic turn of events, Urban dramatically hung up on a radio host in July when questioned about Kidman's racy scenes in her recent films, including "Babygirl" and "A Family Affair." The incident sparked rumors that all was not well between the pair.

The Scholary Note can exclusively confirm that the couple has been living apart for some time. Sources close to Kidman reveal that she has been struggling to cope with the news of their breakup, particularly when it comes to Urban's alleged infidelity. "She's devastated," a friend reveals. "The mere suggestion of him being with someone else is just too much for her to bear."

Kidman's publicist released a statement confirming the split, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their divorce. The couple has been married for nearly two decades and have built a life together in Nashville.

Urban has always been vocal about his love for Kidman, often gushing about her on social media. In 2022, he reflected on how they met, saying, "I was not in a great place at my life, struggling with a lot of things, not in a million years would someone like that see anything in me... The fact that became what it is meant to be is astounding."

The couple's divorce will undoubtedly send shockwaves through the entertainment industry. As news of their split spreads, fans are left reeling, wondering what went wrong behind closed doors.

As if that already isn't enough, the country music star also has 'Mary' tattooed on his right fingers which also seems to be a reference to his longtime lover as Mary is her middle name (he is pictured in Las Vegas back in September 2024)

In a surprising twist, Urban has been spotted moving on from the relationship, with sources close to him revealing that he is "already seeing someone new." The news comes as a blow to Kidman, who had been hoping for a reconciliation. Insiders reveal that she has been "blindsided" by the news and is struggling to come to terms with the end of their marriage.

The Scholary Note has reached out to representatives for both Kidman and Urban for comment but has yet to receive a response.

As the couple navigates this new chapter in their lives, fans are left wondering what the future holds. Will they be able to co-parent their daughters amicably? Only time will tell. One thing is certain: this celebrity split will be one of the most talked-about stories of the year.
