Vogue journalist Wendell Steavenson said she sensed there was trouble in paradise for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban as she reported on the actress for the magazine\u2019s November cover. <\/p>\n

In the Vogue<\/a> cover story published Wednesday, Steavenson recalled interviewing Kidman, 58, in late August, several weeks before the Babygirl actress filed for divorce from Urban.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring our conversations I had guessed as much, but I didn\u2019t want to pry,\u201d Steavenson wrote. \u201cWhen I asked about how she felt now, in her 50s, I had expected to hear a nice trite response about the sagacity of age.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cInstead Kidman was wry, rueful, unsure of herself. She said: \u2018How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn\u2019t going in that direction?\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

Kidman and Urban, 57, have been married for nearly two decades, having tied the knot in 2006. The pair share two daughters and have made a home for themselves in Nashville. <\/p>\n

The shock split comes in light of news that the pair have been living apart since the start of summer, according to TMZ<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The journalist wrote that Kidman has leaned on a group of \u201cride-or-die friendships,\u201d including fellow actress and Nashville resident Reese Witherspoon, a Vanderbilt Hospital senior oncologist, and another friend who runs the hospital. <\/p>\n

Steavenson wrote that for Kidman, the \u201chighs and lows of life, the losses and the pain,\u201d are \u201cgrist for the artistic process.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI put it in my work. That\u2019s the beauty of what I do. There\u2019s a place for some of this to explode, implode, process, discover,\u201d Kidman said. <\/p>\n

An inside source has told Daily Mail<\/a> that the Big Little Lies actress was \u201cblindsided\u201d by the split. <\/p>\n

\u201cKeith never sees Nicole, either she is filming or he is on tour. There was a lot of love between the two and they might not divorce, but there is a world that they both live where neither of them are in it,\u201d the source said. <\/p>\n

Other sources have told TMZ<\/a> that Urban has already moved on with a new girlfriend\u2014whom fans have speculated was his own guitarist, Maggie Baugh\u2014despite Kidman\u2019s efforts to save the marriage. <\/p>\n

\u201cAll the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman,\u201d one source shared. \u201cLet\u2019s just say, Nicole doesn\u2019t dispute that, but she\u2019s still shocked over it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all over Nashville.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Babygirl actress was seen for the first time since the split at Chanel\u2019s Spring 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week, where she debuted a new haircut that fans have dubbed \u201cbreak-up bangs.\u201d Kidman was joined by her two daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. <\/p>\n

Kidman has previously been married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001, and share two adopted children together. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vogue journalist Wendell Steavenson said she sensed there was trouble in paradise for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209842,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88,7689,3285],"class_list":["post-209841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-nicole-kidman","tag-vogue"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
