Nicole Kidman's Shock Split from Keith Urban: A Marriage of Two Decades Ends

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

In a stunning turn of events, Hollywood power couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have ended their nearly two-decade-long marriage. The Oscar-winning actress and the country superstar have been living separate lives for months, with an insider revealing that Kidman was left "blindsided" by the split.

The 58-year-old Kidman and her 57-year-old husband had been apart more often than not due to their hectic filming and touring schedules. However, it seems that their busy lifestyles took a toll on their relationship. A source close to the couple revealed that Urban never saw Kidman during his High and Alive World Tour, which left her feeling isolated and alone.

"Keith never sees Nicole," the insider spilled. "Either she is filming or he is on tour. There was a lot of love between the two, but they might not divorce – but there is a world that they both live where neither of them are in it."

Just days before the news broke, Kidman attended a glamorous event for Cle de Peau as their new brand ambassador, posing for photos and showing off her stunning figure-hugging black gown. But despite her radiant smile, insiders claim she was unaware of the impending doom that awaited her marriage.

In a shocking twist, it's been revealed that Urban has bought his own separate residence in Nashville, Tennessee – just days after Kidman and their kids were spotted staying in an English mansion while she filmed for the Practical Magic sequel. The actress had reportedly paid £65,000 ($87,000) each month to rent the luxurious Hampstead mansion.

The news of their split comes on the heels of Kidman's heartfelt tribute to Urban on their 19th wedding anniversary, where she posted a sweet black and white photo of them sharing a tender moment backstage at one of his shows. The caption read: "Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban," with over 25,023 likes in just under an hour.

Their fans were left stunned when Urban dropped a hint that all was not well between the pair during a phone interview with a radio station in July. When asked about Kidman's raunchy recent scenes in her movies, such as Babygirl and A Family Affair, he dramatically hung up on the interviewer after taking umbrage to their crude question.

It seems that the cracks in their relationship began to show long before the split was announced. Earlier this year, Kidman told an Australian magazine, Woman's Day, "It's like they both went their separate ways" after her mother passed away last September. The couple had been apart more often than not since then, with Urban frequently touring and Kidman busy with her various projects.

In a recent interview with TheScholarlyNote.com, Kidman had opened up about the challenges of maintaining a perfect marriage, saying: "There's no such thing as a 'perfect' marriage. Anything that's presented as perfect... forget it."

Now, as the world struggles to come to terms with their split, we can't help but wonder what really went wrong in this fairytale romance. Did they simply grow apart after two decades together? Or was there more to the story?

One thing is certain – Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's marriage has left fans reeling in shock. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding drama!
