Things are reportedly not cordial between ex-spouses Nicole Kidman<\/b> and Keith Urban<\/b>, months after their separation.<\/p>\n

The actress and the musician got married on June 25, 2006, and split in September 2025 after 19 years of marriage<\/b>. Their divorce was finalized on January 6, 2026, with Kidman granted custody for 306 days<\/b> out of the year and Urban granted 59 days<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Now, according to sources, the two are not speaking to each other. Their two daughters\u2014Sunday Rose<\/b>, 17, and Faith Margaret<\/b>, 15\u2014have allegedly taken Kidman\u2019s side in the divorce.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not a lot of time with the kids for him,\u201d one user said about the settlement. \u201cWith the kids being teens, I wonder if their preferences were considered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Days after Nicole Kidman stunned at the 2026 Oscars, an insider shed light on her current relationship<\/a> with ex-husband Keith Urban.<\/p>\n

The source claimed that Urban has been going through a \u201cmidlife crisis,\u201d which made him unrecognizable to Kidman since their split.<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole and Keith don\u2019t really communicate,\u201d the source told the Daily Mail. \u201cThings got really bad at the end of their relationship and haven\u2019t rebounded.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKeith seems to really want to live the single life, almost like a midlife crisis since the split. He\u2019s turned into a totally different person. It\u2019s like she doesn\u2019t know him at all anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to reports, Urban, 58, initiated the split by wanting out. There were rumors that he was cheating<\/a> on Kidman with fellow country singer Karley Scott Collins, which the 25-year-old later denied.<\/p>\n

Several sources claimed at the time that Kidman was blindsided by Urban\u2019s decision and wanted to save the marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeith has been drawn to younger women now that he\u2019s single, and at least in the beginning, when they first split, he was going out a lot more and enjoying the lifestyle,\u201d the source added. \u201cHe didn\u2019t take the split well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole isn\u2019t necessarily focused on finding a man or dating. It wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see her with someone not famous, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress has not been linked to anyone since the divorce, and she arrived at the 98th Academy Awards without a date.<\/p>\n

She shared a moment<\/a> with her Moulin Rouge! co-star Ewan McGregor onstage before presenting the Best Picture award, which some found \u201cflirtatious.\u201d However, it was nothing but a scripted interaction.<\/p>\n

Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret have remained close to their mother through the divorce.<\/p>\n

Gossip columnist Rob Shuter cited a source on ShuterScoop who claimed that Urban\u2019s \u201cfiery\u201d temperament, as opposed to Kidman\u2019s \u201ccalm\u201d self, made the girls feel safer<\/a> with their mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole has the daughters emotionally and physically,\u201d Shuter\u2019s source said. \u201cThe loyalty lines are drawn, and they\u2019re standing with mom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with ELLE Australia, Sunday Rose<\/a> expressed sincere gratitude to Kidman for her support and guidance, but did not mention her father.<\/p>\n

The interview left Urban \u201cjust numb,\u201d one source told Australian outlet New Idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeith doesn\u2019t know what to say, but he\u2019s trying to put on a brave front. He knows he has to be patient; however, this latest snub \u2013 so publicly, there in black and white \u2013 has stumped him,\u201d the insider shared.<\/p>\n

However, the Daily Mail report confirmed that Kidman is not to be blamed<\/a> for Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret\u2019s distant relationship with their father.<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole hasn\u2019t turned the kids on him; they\u2019ve made their own choices about their dad,\u201d the insider said. \u201cShe isn\u2019t like that. Keith hasn\u2019t tried much to make things better in their eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

A different source told the outlet that Urban was keen to fix things with his daughters: \u201cKeith knows they\u2019re mad at him, and it\u2019s hurtful. He\u2019s really worried about his relationship with both of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s hurt, but he feels like he can patch things up. He doesn\u2019t blame Nicole, and it doesn\u2019t seem like she\u2019s alienating them from him. But he knows he has a lot of work to do to repair things with them. But he\u2019s determined to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicole Kidman recently opened up about the divorce for the first time\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Unlike many celebrity couples, Kidman and Urban did not issue a statement together about their divorce.<\/p>\n

While promoting her upcoming Prime Video show Scarpetta, the Aquaman actress spoke to Variety briefly about the divorce.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

When asked how she has been doing since the divorce, Kidman said, \u201cI am (well), because I\u2019m always going to be moving toward what\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s that. Everything else I don\u2019t discuss out of respect. I\u2019m staying in a place of \u2018We are a family,\u2019 and that\u2019s what we\u2019ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kidman has two more<\/a> children\u2014Isabella, now 33, and Connor, now 31\u2014both with actor Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n

They were granted shared custody during the 2001 divorce, but both kids decided to stay with their father primarily. The media attributed that to their shared Scientology beliefs.<\/p>\n
