NICOLE KIDMAN WEARS HER HEART ON HER SLEEVE: ACTRESS OPENS UP ABOUT DIVORCE AND FASHION AS "ARMOR"

In a shocking turn of events, Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman has revealed that she and her husband Keith Urban are headed for divorce after 19 years of marriage. The news comes just weeks after the couple's split was made public, leaving fans reeling with shock and curiosity.

But in a candid interview with Vogue, Kidman spoke about how fashion has been her coping mechanism amidst the tumultuous times. "Sometimes it's armor," she revealed. "Sometimes it's playful, sometimes it's sexy. It just depends on my mood." The actress also confessed that fashion is "a parallel artistic life" for her, and that she views it as a way to express herself creatively.

It comes after it was revealed last week on Monday that the estranged couple have separated after tying the knot in 2006 ¿ with the Oscar winner officially filing for divorce the next day; seen in 2023 in Texas

The Moulin Rouge star has always been known for her impeccable style, and recently attended Paris Fashion Week with her daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret in tow. Kidman was seen effortlessly chic in a long-sleeved white blouse and light blue trousers at the Chanel Spring/Summer 2026 runway show, which marked her second public appearance since the divorce news broke.

But it seems like Kidman has been preparing for this moment all along. In a statement released earlier this week, she expressed her excitement to join forces with luxury brand Chanel as an ambassador. "I am thrilled to be joining Chanel as it begins its new chapter with Matthieu at the helm," she gushed. "As someone who has such an appreciation for Haute Couture, I am so looking forward to witnessing Matthieu's vision for the oldest Haute Couture House still in operation and having the opportunity to wear what I know will be gorgeous creations."

And it seems like Kidman's new role with Chanel is just the beginning. Sources close to the actress have revealed that she has been spending quality time with her daughters, who are "super supportive" of their mother's decision to move on from the marriage.

'Sometimes it's armor. Sometimes it's playful, sometimes it's sexy. It just depends on my mood. Sometimes it's androgynous, sometimes it's kind of, screw you,' Kidman said of fashion

But as for Urban, it appears he's already moved on to greener pastures. According to thescholarlynote.com, the country singer has reportedly started seeing a 25-year-old country star named Maggie Baugh, although other insiders claim he's actually got his eyes on Kelsea Ballerini, 32.

The news of Urban and Kidman's split came as a shock to fans, who couldn't believe that the couple they thought was invincible had finally cracked under the pressure. A source close to the family revealed that Urban and Kidman's marriage had been struggling for years, with the couple often living separate lives due to their demanding careers.

"It was just a matter of time before things came crashing down," the insider said. "They were never really in sync, and it showed in their public appearances. They would often be seen apart at events, and when they were together, it seemed like they were just going through the motions."

The star has previously opened up about her connection to fashion and told The Hollywood Reporter back in 2023, 'I've always been drawn to fashion, mainly classic lines with a twist; but edginess is something I don't shy away from'; seen in February in Santa Monica

And now that the news is out, Kidman seems to be embracing her newfound freedom. She recently shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, gushing about how excited she was to attend the Chanel show with her daughters. "I'm so grateful for this experience," she wrote. "My girls are my everything, and I couldn't ask for more."

But as for Urban's next move, it seems like he's already plotting his next big step. According to thescholarlynote.com, the singer has been spotted with Baugh at several high-profile events, and sources claim that they're getting cozy.

"It's clear that Keith is trying to move on from Nicole as quickly as possible," said a source close to Urban. "He's always been a bit of a ladies' man, and it seems like he's finally found someone who can keep up with him."

It was her second public appearance since her divorce news had come to light ¿ and the actress was joined by her daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, whom she shares with Urban (seen above)

As for Kidman, she's clearly not bothered by the rumors surrounding her ex-husband. In fact, she's been spending quality time with her daughters and focusing on her own career.

"It's all about self-love right now," Kidman told Vogue in a recent interview. "I'm taking care of myself, and that's all that matters."

And it seems like Kidman is doing just that. She recently attended the Christian Dior show at Paris Fashion Week with her daughter Sunday Rose by her side. The model walked the catwalk, looking stunning as always, and later shared a heartfelt message on Instagram praising the creative team behind the show.

The actress also seemed to hint at her split from Urban in her recent Vogue profile ¿ weeks before the world knew their marriage was over; seen in May in Texas
