Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman, 58, is reportedly embracing a new chapter with a sense of refreshment and optimism now that her divorce from country music star Keith Urban, also 58, has been legally finalised. The former couple, who announced their separation in September 2025 after nineteen years of marriage, saw their divorce officially concluded in a Nashville court on January 6th.
A Focus on Family and Daughters
According to a source speaking to People magazine, Kidman is now channelling her energy into quality time with her and Urban's two daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15. The insider revealed that Nicole spends a great deal of time with her girls and genuinely cherishes these family moments. Following a holiday period spent in her native Australia over Christmas and New Year, the actress has returned to Nashville with her children to re-establish their daily routine.
'She is refreshed and optimistic about the new year,' the source added. 'They're all settling back into their routine. Things have been calm.' The divorce was filed citing 'marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences', but reports indicate the separation has been handled amicably, particularly concerning the children.
Co-Parenting Arrangements and Legal Details
Legal documents obtained by Us Weekly outline the formal custody and financial arrangements. Nicole Kidman will have primary physical custody of Sunday and Faith, with the children residing with her for 306 days of the year. Keith Urban will have parenting time for 59 days annually. Notably, no monthly child support payments are required, as the singer has pre-paid these obligations according to a specific clause in their agreement.
The settlement includes several provisions designed to protect the family's wellbeing. Both parties have agreed:
- Not to speak negatively of each other or each other's families.
- To encourage their daughters to maintain love and comfort with both parents.
- To retain their respective individual assets, suggesting a pre-existing pre-nuptial agreement was in place.
Furthermore, both Kidman and Urban were required to complete a parenting seminar within sixty days of filing for divorce, underscoring their commitment to a cooperative co-parenting relationship.
Professional Horizons and Supportive Friendships
Looking beyond her personal life, Nicole Kidman is preparing for a bustling professional year. A significant project on the horizon is the highly anticipated sequel to the 1998 fantasy-romance film Practical Magic, in which she will reunite with co-star Sandra Bullock, 61. The film is slated for release in September.
'She's looking ahead to a busy and exciting year professionally too, with several projects coming up,' the source told People. Kidman has reportedly leaned on the support of close friends during the challenging divorce process. She maintains a strong friendship with Sandra Bullock and remains close to her Just Go With It co-star Jennifer Aniston, who is also a friend of Bullock's.
Moving Forward with Grace
In a candid conversation with singer and actress Ariana Grande for Interview magazine last November, Kidman acknowledged the difficulties, stating she was 'hanging in there' amid the split. However, the current reports paint a picture of a woman who has navigated the transition with grace. The atmosphere surrounding the family is described as calm and drama-free, with the daughters splitting their time amicably between both parents.
With the legal proceedings concluded, a solid co-parenting plan established, and exciting work opportunities ahead, Nicole Kidman appears poised to embrace 2026 with renewed focus and a positive outlook.
