Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were one of Hollywood's biggest power couples before their recent separation. Urban and Kidman met in 2005 and tied the knot the following year. The pair expanded their family with daughter Sunday Rose in 2008 followed by daughter Faith Margaret in 2010. (Kidman is also mother to daughter Isabella and son Connor, whom she adopted with ex-husband Tom Cruise.) "I wish I could have met him much earlier and had way more children with him. But I didn't," Kidman said of her relationship with Urban in a July 2015 interview with Vogue. "If I could have had two more children with him, that would have been just glorious. But as Keith says, 'The wanting mind, Nicole. Shut it down.'" Throughout their marriage, Kidman and Urban were by each other's sides throughout their successes. However, things changed in September 2025, when Us Weekly confirmed that Urban and Kidman had separated after 19 years of marriage. That same month, Kidman filed for divorce and cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. Keep scrolling for a complete breakdown on the pair's respective empires and careers amid their divorce: How Keith Urban Built His Music Empire Keith Urban Terry Wyatt/WireImage) Urban got his start in Australia's country music scene before he moved to Nashville in 1992. He was the frontman of the band The Ranch, which dropped its first and sole album in 1997. Two years later, the country singer went solo with his debut self-titled album. As a solo artist, Urban found success right away as he won the Top New Male Vocalist Award at the 2001 Academy of Country Music Awards and the 2001 Country Music Association's Horizon Award. In 2002, Urban followed up with his album, Golden Road, which included his first number-one song, "Somebody Like You." Golden Road went certified triple platinum and also included the track "You'll Think of Me," which earned Urban his first Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. Urban continued to release more albums and earned three more Grammys. He's recorded 13 studio albums. In 2012, Urban was indicted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Keith Urban's Most Recent Projects On top of dropping music, Urban has also dabbled in the music competition show area. He was a coach on the Australian version of The Voice and a judge on American Idol for three seasons. Urban was also featured in the 2020 documentary Slim and I, to discuss how Slim Dusty and Joy McKean inspired him. In 2023, Urban had a Las Vegas residency at the Fontainebleau. The following year, Urban released new music and his album High. Urban kicked off 2025 with his High and Alive World Tour. Ahead of hitting the road, Urban opened up about how he and Kidman didn't have strict rules about how long they can be away for work, but noted that he does make time to prioritize his family. "I don't want to be away from my family for too long, so I don't need a rule. I'm really lucky that I get to tour the way I do, which is kind of three shows in a row, and then three to four days off. Then three shows in a row," he told Yahoo Entertainment in May 2025. "It's pretty rare to even be gone for two weeks. It's fortuitous where Nashville is [located] in that it's a fairly decent flying time to a lot of places." How Nicole Kidman Built Her Empire Nicole Kidman Travis P.
