Nicole Kidman<\/a> has opened up about her divorce from Keith Urban<\/a> in a new interview, saying the future is \u201ccompletely unknown to me right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kidman quietly filed for divorce from Urban in Nashville last September after 19 years of marriage<\/a>. By January, the divorce was finalized, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple agreed to share custody of their two daughters <\/a>(Sunday Rose, 18, and Faith, 15); neither sought spousal support, and they did not have to appear in court.<\/p>\n

In a wide-ranging interview for British Vogue<\/a>\u2019s September issue, Kidman said she was taking a \u201cfeelings first\u201d approach to her new single era.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s just who I am. I don\u2019t overthink things and I\u2019m probably not that analytical. I\u2019m far more feeling-centered and I lead with my heart… It throws people, because I think they think I\u2019ll be far more measured and I\u2019m not,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can still approach things intellectually,\u201d she continued, \u201cbut my desire is not to be ruled by my head. I\u2019ve always wanted to live a well-examined life, so what does that entail? Trying things, making mistakes, failing, getting back up, moving on, embracing love, staying open, keeping the heart open and the possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Kidman<\/a> admitted it had not been the easiest year. \u201cBut at the same time I\u2019m like, \u2018OK, I didn\u2019t expect this. I had a different view of what my life was going to be, but this is what it is now.\u2019 You make all these plans and you have all these ideas of what it\u2019s all going to be like and then it\u2019s\u2026 not. You have to adjust. You adapt. The future, it\u2019s completely unknown to me right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if she found the uncertainty of her future scary, Kidman replied: \u201cThere was a point where I was very fearful and deeply vulnerable, which is exposing. And then at the same time [I\u2019m] going, \u2018Well, I can either really not confront it and just curl up, or I can just go forward with an enormous amount of hope.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Both hailing from Australia, Kidman and Urban met in Los Angeles in 2005<\/a> and married in Sydney the following year.<\/p>\n
