Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's Shocking Split: Intimacy Issues Unveiled

Actress Kidman, 58, and country singer Urban, 57, have sensationally separated after 19 years of marriage and two children together

NICOLE KIDMAN AND KEITH URBAN'S MARRIAGE IN SHAMBLES: SOURCES CLAIM LACK OF INTIMACY AND BUSY SCHEDULES LED TO 19-YEAR UNION'S DOWNFALL

In a shocking turn of events, one of Hollywood's most beloved power couples, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, have reportedly separated after 19 years of marriage. The Australian actress, 58, and the country music superstar, 57, who share two beautiful daughters together, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, have been living apart for months, with sources close to the family revealing that their love has grown cold.

According to insiders, Urban was the one who initiated the split, citing a lack of intimacy between the couple as the main reason. "Keith never sees Nicole," a source spills to TheScholarlyNote.com. "Either she's filming or he's on tour. It's like they're two separate people living in the same house." This lack of quality time together has taken its toll, leaving the once-blissful couple feeling disconnected and unfulfilled.

The country star, who has been touring with his High and Alive World Tour since May, is said to have grown increasingly unhappy with their marriage. In a bold move, Urban allegedly called out Kidman on her behavior, prompting her to reevaluate their relationship. "She was blindsided by Keith's intervention," our source reveals. "But now that the cat's out of the bag, they both know there are some serious issues to address."

While Urban has been making headlines with his chart-topping album and sold-out concerts, Kidman has been keeping a low profile, busy with her own projects. The actress is currently in London filming the sequel to her 1998 hit movie Practical Magic. However, sources close to the family reveal that she's been using this opportunity to focus on herself and their children.

"We don't know what the future holds for Nicole and Keith," our insider admits. "But it's clear they've grown apart. They've both got a lot of work to do if they want to make their marriage work again." As the holiday season approaches, it remains to be seen whether this high-profile couple will reconcile or go their separate ways.

TheScholarlyNote.com reached out to representatives for Kidman and Urban but, as expected, received no comment. The news of their separation has left fans stunned, with many taking to social media to express their shock and sadness.

In a bizarre twist, it's been revealed that Kidman has been renting a luxurious Hampstead mansion once owned by pop star Boy George for a staggering £65,000 ($87,000) per month. While the actress claims she's staying in London for work, sources suggest that this move may have contributed to the rift between her and Urban.

"It's like they're both going their separate ways," our source notes. "Nicole's been getting comfortable in her dream home in London, while Keith's been on tour. It's a shame, really."

'The intimacy isn't there. Keith had to call her out that he isn't happy,' our source said

The split comes as no surprise to those who've been following the couple's ups and downs over the years. In July, Urban made headlines when he hung up during a phone interview with a radio station after being asked about Kidman's raunchy movie scenes in Babygirl and A Family Affair.

As for Kidman, she's been open about her thoughts on marriage. "There's no perfect anything," she admitted while promoting her Netflix series The Perfect Couple last year. "Anything that's presented as perfect... forget it." With the news of their separation, it seems Kidman may have spoken too soon.

The Australian actress has had her fair share of high-profile relationships in the past. Before marrying Urban, she was married to actor Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001 and adopted two children together, Isla and Connor. It remains to be seen how this latest development will affect Kidman's future endeavors, both personally and professionally.

For now, fans can only watch as one of Hollywood's most beloved couples navigates the choppy waters of their troubled marriage. Will they reconcile or go their separate ways? Only time will tell.
