Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban Have Reportedly Separated

Country superstar Keith Urban and actress Nicole Kidman have allegedly separated after 19 years of marriage, TMZ has reported.

Multiple insiders with direct knowledge tell TMZ that the couple has been living separately since early summer.

According to the source, Nicole has reportedly been “holding the family together through this difficult time since Keith has been gone.”

Nicole & Keith’s 19 Years Of Marriage

Keith and Nicole first met in Los Angeles in 2005, and were married just one year later in the couple’s native country of Australia.

Nicole previously said in an interview that Keith didn’t call her for four months, but Keith explains that he simply lacked the confidence to reach out to her.

“Somebody had given me her number and I had it in my pocket for a while. I kept looking at it thinking, ‘If I call this number, she’s going to answer. I don’t know what to say,” Keith shared in a later interview.

They share two daughters together, Sunday (17 ) and Faith (14 ).

Keith Credits Nicole To Helping Him Overcome His Addictions

The same year the two were married, the country star checked himself into the Betty Ford Center in California for a very serious drug and alcohol addiction..

Keith shared that Nicole was ultimately one of the main reasons he chose to get sober once and for all.

“I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones who love and support me. One can never let one’s guard down on recovery, and I’m afraid that I have,” Keith said at the time.

The singer later wrote a heartfelt thank you letter to Nicole for helping him get sober, in the form of a song titled “Thank You,” which was included on his 2009 album Defying Gravity.
