NICOLE KIDMAN'S SECRET EUROPEAN ESCAPE: Oscar-Winning Actress Ditches US and Australia for Portuguese Perks

In a shocking twist, sources close to Nicole Kidman have revealed that the actress has made a surprising move to acquire residency in Portugal, leaving many wondering what's behind this sudden change of heart. And it seems Keith Urban is not exactly on board with his wife's new European adventure.

The 58-year-old A-lister, known for her stunning performances on screen and stage, has submitted an application for Portuguese residency through the country's immigration agency, but her husband, Keith Urban, was noticeably absent from the paperwork. Insiders claim that the country music star couldn't make it to a mandatory in-person appointment due to his ongoing US tour commitments.

The Oscar-winning actress lodged her application with the country¿s immigration agency last week, however sources confirmed that Urban's name was noticeably absent from the documents

"It's not uncommon for celebrities to have hectic schedules, but this move has left many of us scratching our heads," says an insider close to the couple. "Nicole is clearly keen on exploring her options in Portugal, and we're told she's been house hunting in some of the country's most exclusive gated communities."

Rumors are swirling that Nicole, who has been spotted at a luxury development in Comporta, Costa Terra Golf & Ocean Club, is eyeing a property valued in the millions. This isn't her first foray into high-end real estate; she and Keith have an impressive portfolio of properties around the world, including lavish mansions in Nashville, Tennessee, and exclusive penthouses in North Sydney.

But what's behind this sudden interest in Portugal? Insiders close to Nicole suggest that she may be looking to spend more time in Europe with her family. "The girls love it here," a source reveals. "They're excited about the prospect of exploring a new culture and making friends."

It's now been revealed the country music star was unable to attend the mandatory in-person appointment due to ongoing tour commitments in the United States ¿ but is expected to apply separately at a later date

However, it seems Keith Urban won't be joining his wife just yet. While Nicole has lodged her application for residency, Keith's name is noticeably absent from the documents. Insiders claim that he'll submit his own application at a later date, once his tour commitments are complete.

"Keith was unable to be in Portugal for this appointment as he is currently on tour in the US," an insider told The Scholarly Note.com. "It is mandatory for applicants to be physically present in order to apply for the visa."

But don't think for a second that Nicole will be ditching her US and Australian homes anytime soon. Insiders reveal that the family will continue to divide their time between the three countries, with Nashville remaining their primary residence.

"The girls are settled into school there, and Keith has a thriving music career in the States," says an insider. "Nicole will still be splitting her time between the US and Australia, but it seems she's now got a new love for Portugal."

As we reported earlier on The Scholarly Note.com, Nicole Kidman was spotted arriving at Tires airfield in Cascais, just outside of Lisbon, amid rumors that she's house hunting in one of Portugal's most exclusive gated communities. But what's behind this sudden interest in the country? Is Nicole looking to escape the glamour of Hollywood for a more relaxed European lifestyle?

Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: with her stunning looks, incredible talent, and now a rumored new love affair with Europe, Nicole Kidman is still very much the queen of Hollywood.

And as she continues to navigate this exciting new chapter in her life, fans can't help but wonder what's next for this A-lister. Will she make good on her plans to spend more time in Portugal? And will Keith Urban finally join his wife in their new European abode?

Stay tuned for the latest updates from The Scholarly Note.com as we follow Nicole Kidman's exciting journey into the world of Portuguese living.
