One of Nicole Kidman‘s close Australian friends has said she is ‘really shocked’ by the icon’s split from her country music singer husband Keith Urban.
The Oscar-winning actress filed for divorce from the crooner on September 30, 2025, after 19 years of marriage.
The pal is Isla Fisher who used to be wed to Sacha Baron Cohen. Fisher, 49, was married to the Borat, 54, for 13 years until their split in April 2024.
Fisher was a guest on the Fly On The Wall podcast on Thursday. ‘I’m really, really, really shocked,’ said the redheaded film star.
The Wedding Crashers star also shared that she has not talked with Kidman yet about the pending divorce. ‘I have left a message. I have not connected yet,’ said Fisher.
‘I don’t really wanna comment on that because there are children involved,’ she added. Kidman and Urban share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

Kidman cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ in her filing.
Urban has since been linked to 25-year-old tour guitarist Maggie Baugh.
They have been seen getting chummy together on stage with Urban even directing some of his more mushy lyrics towards her. Daily Mail has already reported that Urban has been seeing a ‘younger woman in the industry.’
Kidman seems to be taking the divorce well as she has already gotten back to work on her series Lioness with costar Zoe Saldana.
Fisher also commented on her own ‘tough’ divorce while on the podcast.
They share kids Olive, 17, Elula, 15, and Montgomery, 10.
Fisher said earlier this month that she is using the Carl Jung method to help her heal from the split.
The Jungian method is a therapeutic approach that explores unconscious forces, dreams, symbols, and archetypes, with an aim towards self-understanding, self-integration and fulfilment.
‘This is totally personal and I say this with the caveat as it worked for me, but the concept of processing stuff and taking your time, thinking about it again and again, you don’t really feel better that way,’ she told The Australian.
Instead, the movie star kept moving following the divorce, saying ‘yes’ to any opportunity that came her way and throwing herself into her work.

The move has seen the 49-year-old keeping busy on film sets, staying active in her community and reinventing herself creatively after what she calls a parental ‘power pause’.
‘It’s amazing to me that at this point in my life I’ve got this opportunity, in a positive way, to reinvent what the last act of my life is now from the ground up,’ she said, gushing that she loved returning to work.
The actress went on to explain she didn’t fall out of love with acting during her hiatus from the screen, she was just more in love with motherhood, and still is.
But now, thanks to the extra time that co-parenting brings, she can do both.
‘For most parents, we focus on our kids and it’s so divine and magical and so absorbing, but now I have some time where the kids aren’t with me, so I get some time to think about what the future might hold for me.’
