Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are not speaking after their bombshell split, which marked the end of one of Hollywood’s most loved-up couples.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Aussie A-lister, 57, and the singer, 58, have not spoken a word since she filed for divorce from him last month, and the pair are communicating only through their lawyers, sources told ShuterScoop on Monday.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s icy. They\u2019re not even texting,” one source close to the pair said.<\/p>\n

“Everything – custody, property, money – runs through the lawyers.”<\/p>\n

A long-time pal of the ex-golden couple told the publication they were “always touchy-feely in public, but things have been off for a long time”.<\/p>\n

Another insider said the pair were “living separate lives” amid growing tensions between Nicole’s filming schedule and Keith’s touring.<\/p>\n

The source said “love couldn’t survive” the distance, and their dynamic is “brutal behind closed doors” despite public efforts to protect their brands.<\/p>\n

In the wake of their split, Nicole was\u00a0residing in England at pop star Boy George’s former luxurious Hampstead mansion<\/a> to film Practical Magic 2.<\/p>\n

It is believed Keith never visited her at home while he travelled across the US and Canada with his High and Alive tour, which wraps up on Friday.<\/p>\n

Nicole appeared to take a thinly-veiled jab at him on Monday amid reports the country crooner has already moved on with a younger woman in the music industry, rumoured to be his guitarist, Maggie Baugh, 25.<\/p>\n

The Babygirl actress wore a diamond-and-gold snake necklace while posing for snaps for skincare brand Cl\u00e9 de Peau Beaut\u00e9 on Instagram, possibly indicating she feels Keith has been slippery.<\/p>\n

She seemed to address their split in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar on Thursday, where she touched on moving past “pain” and “devastation”.<\/p>\n

“As I get older, I want to be able to share and impart the things I\u2019ve learned. I\u2019ve seen a lot, I\u2019ve experienced a lot, and I\u2019ve survived a lot,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I want to pass on some of that knowledge and that wisdom and whatever I\u2019ve learned.”<\/p>\n

Nicole said the best part about ageing was accumulating “experiences”.<\/p>\n

“Maybe I haven\u2019t been in this place, but I’ve experienced something similar to this, and I do know that I will get through it,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Oscar winner earlier this month debuted a glamorous post-split makeover, switching up her strawberry blonde locks to show a fringe, as Keith stepped out on stage without his wedding ring.<\/p>\n

Days before she debuted the transformation, Nicole filed for divorce from her husband of 19 years, citing “irreconcilable differences.”<\/p>\n

Urban allegedly initiated the breakup and confronted Kidman about his “unhappiness” in their marriage, reportedly leaving her feeling “betrayed”.<\/p>\n

Nicole reportedly made every effort to save her relationship with the country music star – with whom she shares daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14 – and protect her family.<\/p>\n

Divorce filings obtained by TMZ revealed Kidman sought to be the “primary residential parent” of the girls.<\/p>\n

A parenting plan will see the teens spend 306 days with Kidman and 59 days with Urban each year.<\/p>\n

Kidman and Urban were first introduced at the G’DAY USA gala in January 2005 and tied the knot in Sydney the following year.<\/p>\n

The actress was previously married to Tom Cruise from 1990 until 2001, with whom she shares two children, Bella, 32, and Connor, 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are not speaking after their bombshell split, which marked the end of one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211737,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,22426,134,1973,2899,7438],"class_list":{"0":"post-211736","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-divorce","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-hollywood","14":"tag-keith-urban","15":"tag-nicole-kidman"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211736"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211736\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
