Nicole Kidman has offered a tantalising glimpse into her solo Valentine's Day plans, posting a glamorous shot of herself lounging in bed as she prepares to ring in the year's most romantic holiday for the first time since her split from Keith Urban.
Divorce and Separation Details
News broke in September that Kidman and Urban had separated after a marriage lasting 19 years. By the end of that month, the actress had officially filed for divorce, bringing their nearly two-decade union to a legal conclusion.
Rumours Surrounding Urban's Onstage Behaviour
In the wake of the separation announcement, past clips resurfaced showing Urban's cosy onstage antics with 25-year-old guitarist Maggie Baugh, which fuelled romance rumours about them. One video from Las Vegas captured him pointing to Baugh while singing 'I was born to love you'. Another clip from a Chicago show featured him altering lyrics from 'Baby I'll be the fighter' to 'Maggie, I'll be your guitar player'.
Kidman's Galentine's Day Celebration
Kidman has now shared how she intends to celebrate Valentine's Day, and it does not involve finding a new man. Over a picture of herself sitting in bed wearing pink striped pyjama tops without the bottoms, with a duvet draped over her lap, she wrote 'Happy Galentines'.
Her signature golden locks cascaded over her shoulders, and her luminous complexion was accentuated with makeup, including a slick of scarlet lipstick. Kidman closed her eyes and smiled enigmatically downward for the picture, which was lit by sunshine streaming through the window.
The Origins of Galentine's Day
Galentine's Day was popularised in 2010 by a Parks and Recreation episode of the same name. In the episode, the Amy Poehler character Leslie Knope throws a bash for her female friends on the eve of Valentine's Day, creating a tradition that Kidman appears to be embracing this year.
This marks a significant personal moment for Kidman as she navigates life post-divorce, choosing to focus on female friendship and self-celebration rather than romantic pursuits during the holiday season.
