Tears and Triumph: Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban's Fairytale Wedding Revisited
NICOLE KIDMAN AND KEITH URBAN'S MARRIAGE GOES DOWN IN FLAMES!
The shocking news has finally broken, and we're still reeling from it - Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's 19-year marriage is coming to an end! The Aussie power couple, who tied the knot in a fairytale-like ceremony back in 2006, have been struggling to keep their relationship afloat amidst their hectic schedules.
According to sources close to the couple, they've been growing apart for quite some time now. "Keith never sees Nicole," a friend revealed. "Either she's filming or he's on tour. They're just not spending quality time together like they used to." Ouch!
The split news has left fans stunned and heartbroken, especially after Kidman posted a heartfelt tribute to Urban on their 19th wedding anniversary just weeks ago! The actress shared a sweet black-and-white photo of them sharing a romantic moment backstage at one of his shows, with the caption "Happy Anniversary Baby @KeithUrban". But behind closed doors, it seems their love story is far from perfect.
So, what led to their downfall? Insiders claim that Urban's struggles with addiction played a significant role in their marriage woes. The country singer checked into rehab just six months after they tied the knot, and while Kidman stood by him through thick and thin, it seems their relationship was already on shaky ground.
As we dug deeper into the couple's history, we discovered some juicy details about their prenup! Yes, you read that right - Urban reportedly signed a prenup with Kidman, which stated that she'd pay him a whopping $600,000 (AU$911,868) per year for every year they were married. That's a total of $11.4 million (AU$17.3 million) if he managed to stay sober!
But despite their love story being presented as "perfect" in the press, Kidman herself revealed that there's no such thing as a perfect marriage when she spoke about her Netflix drama, The Perfect Couple, back in September 2024. "There's no perfect anything," she said. "Anything that's presented as perfect... forget it." Ouch, burn!
The couple's daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, will undoubtedly be affected by their parents' split. Kidman was previously married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001 and adopted two children during their union - Isabella and Connor. Cruise would go on to marry Katie Holmes in 2006 and welcome daughter Suri before splitting in 2012.
As the news of Kidman and Urban's split continues to make headlines, we can't help but wonder what went wrong behind closed doors. The actress has been living a stately life in London while filming the Practical Magic sequel, and it seems she's getting comfortable with her new "dream home" - a luxurious Hampstead mansion once owned by pop star Boy George! But where is Urban? Still touring across the US and Canada with his High and Alive tour until mid-October.
In July, Urban hinted at the couple's marital issues when he sensationally hung up on a radio station after being asked about Kidman's raunchy film scenes in films like Babygirl and A Family Affair. Talk about awkward!
As we bid farewell to one of Hollywood's most iconic couples, we can't help but wonder what's next for Kidman and Urban. Will they reconcile? Only time will tell.
