Things are reportedly not cordial between ex-spouses Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, months after their separation.<\/p>\n

The actress and the musician got married on June 25, 2006, and split in September 2025 after 19 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized on January 6, 2026, with Kidman granted custody for 306 days out of the year and Urban granted 59 days.<\/p>\n

Now, according to sources, the two are not speaking to each other. Their two daughters\u2014Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15\u2014have allegedly taken Kidman\u2019s side in the divorce.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not a lot of time with the kids for him,\u201d one user said about the settlement. \u201cWith the kids being teens, I wonder if their preferences were considered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Days after Nicole Kidman stunned at the 2026 Oscars, an insider shed light on her current relationship<\/a> with ex-husband Keith Urban.<\/p>\n

The source claimed that Urban has been going through a \u201cmidlife crisis,\u201d which made him unrecognizable to Kidman since their split.<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole and Keith don\u2019t really communicate,\u201d the source told the Daily Mail. \u201cThings got really bad at the end of their relationship and haven\u2019t rebounded.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKeith seems to really want to live the single life, almost like a midlife crisis since the split. He\u2019s turned into a totally different person. It\u2019s like she doesn\u2019t know him at all anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to reports, Urban, 58, initiated the split by wanting out. There were rumors that he was cheating<\/a> on Kidman with fellow country singer Karley Scott Collins, which the 25-year-old later denied.<\/p>\n

Several sources claimed at the time that Kidman was blindsided by Urban\u2019s decision and wanted to save the marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeith has been drawn to younger women now that he\u2019s single, and at least in the beginning, when they first split, he was going out a lot more and enjoying the lifestyle,\u201d the source added. \u201cHe didn\u2019t take the split well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole isn\u2019t necessarily focused on finding a man or dating. It wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see her with someone not famous, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress has not been linked to anyone since the divorce, and she arrived at the 98th Academy Awards without a date.<\/p>\n

She shared a moment<\/a> with her Moulin Rouge! co-star Ewan McGregor onstage before presenting the Best Picture award, which some found \u201cflirtatious.\u201d However, it was nothing but a scripted interaction.<\/p>\n

Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret have remained close to their mother through the divorce.<\/p>\n

Gossip columnist Rob Shuter cited a source on ShuterScoop who claimed that Urban\u2019s \u201cfiery\u201d temperament, as opposed to Kidman\u2019s \u201ccalm\u201d self, made the girls feel safer<\/a> with their mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole has the daughters emotionally and physically,\u201d Shuter\u2019s source said. \u201cThe loyalty lines are drawn, and they\u2019re standing with mom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with ELLE Australia, Sunday Rose<\/a> expressed sincere gratitude to Kidman for her support and guidance, but did not mention her father.<\/p>\n

The interview left Urban \u201cjust numb,\u201d one source told Australian outlet New Idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeith doesn\u2019t know what to say, but he\u2019s trying to put on a brave front. He knows he has to be patient; however, this latest snub \u2013 so publicly, there in black and white \u2013 has stumped him,\u201d the insider shared.<\/p>\n

However, the Daily Mail report confirmed that Kidman is not to be blamed<\/a> for Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret\u2019s distant relationship with their father.<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole hasn\u2019t turned the kids on him; they\u2019ve made their own choices about their dad,\u201d the insider said. \u201cShe isn\u2019t like that. Keith hasn\u2019t tried much to make things better in their eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

A different source told the outlet that Urban was keen to fix things with his daughters: \u201cKeith knows they\u2019re mad at him, and it\u2019s hurtful. He\u2019s really worried about his relationship with both of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s hurt, but he feels like he can patch things up. He doesn\u2019t blame Nicole, and it doesn\u2019t seem like she\u2019s alienating them from him. But he knows he has a lot of work to do to repair things with them. But he\u2019s determined to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicole Kidman recently opened up about the divorce for the first time\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Unlike many celebrity couples, Kidman and Urban did not issue a statement together about their divorce.<\/p>\n

While promoting her upcoming Prime Video show Scarpetta, the Aquaman actress spoke to Variety briefly about the divorce.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

When asked how she has been doing since the divorce, Kidman said, \u201cI am (well), because I\u2019m always going to be moving toward what\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s that. Everything else I don\u2019t discuss out of respect. I\u2019m staying in a place of \u2018We are a family,\u2019 and that\u2019s what we\u2019ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kidman has two more<\/a> children\u2014Isabella, now 33, and Connor, now 31\u2014both with actor Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n

They were granted shared custody during the 2001 divorce, but both kids decided to stay with their father primarily. The media attributed that to their shared Scientology beliefs.<\/p>\n
