Nicole Kidman has formally initiated divorce proceedings against Keith Urban, submitting court documents requesting to be the primary custodial parent of their daughters Sunday and Faith. The filing comes after months of living separately following Urban’s decision to end their nearly 20-year union.

Their agreed parenting plan details Kidman’s custodial time at 306 days per year compared to Urban’s 59 days, with shared commitments to foster a loving environment and avoid negative commentary in public.
Sources close to the couple suggest Kidman was surprised by Urban’s departure, and the death of her mother in 2024 has been a factor in the couple drifting apart. Urban’s reported discomfort with Kidman’s recent acting work also contributed to tensions.
