Tennessee Judge Ends 19-Year Marriage of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Marking the End of a Highly Publicized Divorce.
A Nashville judge has officially dissolved the long-standing marriage between Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman and Grammy-winning country singer Keith Urban after nearly two decades together. The couple's divorce was confirmed in a court filing on Tuesday, following an initial filing by Kidman in September that revealed marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences.
As part of their settlement, the pair will split their joint assets roughly equally and have agreed that neither will require child or spousal support. However, Kidman has been designated as the primary residential parent to their two teenage daughters, with Urban set to remain in Nashville for both parenting duties and shared living arrangements.
It appears the long-awaited divorce of one of Australia's most beloved couples was all but inevitable. After being married since 2006, the couple had often appeared on the public eye as a picture-perfect pairing, frequently sharing their lives at high-profile events such as the Oscars and music festivals like the Academy of Country Music Awards.
The news comes after Kidman filed for divorce in September, with sources suggesting that the couple's marital problems had been building for some time. The divorce agreement stated there were significant differences between the pair, but an exact reason for their split has not yet been made public.
Tennessee law requires a 90-day waiting period before a divorce takes effect when one or both parties have children under the age of 18. This means that while Kidman and Urban's formal separation has now been confirmed by court, they must continue to coexist as parents for at least two more months prior to their full split becoming official.
Despite having previously spoken publicly about some marital difficulties in a rare display of openness, it appears that the lengthy divorce process was not unexpected. The couple have always been known for their mutual love and respect – even when faced with challenges, they have continued to prioritize their shared family life above all else.
With this now confirmed, the spotlight on these two entertainment powerhouses will likely soon shift back onto their individual pursuits. As one of Australia's most influential couples in recent decades, Kidman and Urban remain highly respected figures within both Hollywood and country music – a testament to their enduring talents and strong bond with each other.

I'm not surprised they finally ended it after all those years... it was just a matter of time before the real issues came out. All that public display of love and happiness was just a show, you know? 
The fact that they have to coexist for another 2 months as parents is just awkward. Can't we just get to the part where they both move on with their lives already? 
i feel bad for nicole kidman she must be going through so much right now 
but also keith urban seems like such a nice guy 
and those two are like the ultimate power couple 
anyway i guess this is just one of those situations where you gotta respect their decision even if it's not what we want to hear 
can someone tell me how does 90-day waiting period work exactly? 
This news got me thinking about the complexities of love and relationships. Can we ever truly know if our partners are happy or fulfilled? The fact that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's divorce was all but inevitable raises questions about the societal pressure to present a perfect facade, especially when it comes to high-profile couples like them.
But what does this say about our expectations of relationships in general? Are we too quick to judge others based on their public image, rather than the complexities of their inner lives?
. All that drama about "irreconcilable differences" just to maintain the image 
. I'm still low-key sad, though 
.
. Either way, I hope they both come out strong on the other side and that their daughters will be happy 
. It's crazy how one day you're this picture-perfect power couple and the next you're just... done 
. Either way, I wish 'em both all the best – Kidman gets to be close to her girls more often and Urban stays in Nashville for the kids 
Still, it's sad to see them go, 'cause they've been one of those rare couples where they actually seem to like each other... even after all these years. 
. The fact that they've agreed to split their assets equally and maintain a joint parenting arrangement is actually quite pragmatic given the complexities of modern relationships 
. I do wonder what led to the 90-day waiting period under Tennessee law 
. But at the same time, it's like... they're young adults now, making their own way in life. It's gonna be weird seeing them with different moms 
. On a separate note, can we talk about how gorgeous Nicole Kidman looks even after 19 years of marriage? She's still slaying the game 
.
. anyway, on to the next chapter for these two talented people! 
they've had two kids, built a life together, and now its just... over. 
the thing that's weird about this is how public their split was gonna be... can't help but wonder what really went down behind closed doors 
- kidman's got her acting career, and urban's gonna rock on with his music 
. They're still two of the most talented people out there, so I'm sure they'll just bounce back even stronger 
. Not my loss, not my gain - life goes on, right? 
She'd totally kill it!
like what happened to their love story? they were always the golden couple of hollywood and country music 
they deserve some space after 19 yrs together...its amazing how much love & respect they still have for each other despite all the challenges 
anyway, now they can focus on their own awesomeness & pursue their passions without all the drama 
. on the bright side, the kids will probably come out just fine from this whole ordeal 
. and who knows, maybe Keith Urban will finally release that country album he's been putting off for years
