Hollywood superstar Nicole Kidman appeared to quietly acknowledge her marital struggles with her husband, former “American Idol” judge and country music icon Keith Urban, in a newly published interview with Vogue. The conversation, conducted in London in August, took place just weeks before the Oscar-winning actress, 58, filed for divorce from the country singer, 57, marking the end of their nearly 20-year marriage.

“How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?” she reflected, describing herself as “wry, rueful, unsure of herself.”
The Actress on Friendship, Resilience & Moving Forward
GettyKidman revealed that she’s found strength in her close-knit group of Nashville friends, including her “Big Little Lies” co-star Reese Witherspoon. “Ride-or-die friendships. Oh, yeah,” she said with a smile.
When asked how she handles negativity online, Kidman said she avoids it altogether. “Literally walk away from it. Because it will fell you. It will destroy you,” she shared.
The actress, known for her poise and warmth, has been focusing on support systems and grounding routines as she navigates personal change in the public eye.
Inside Nicole & Keith’s Split After Nearly 20 Years
GettyKidman filed for divorce from Urban last month, citing irreconcilable differences. Sources told Page Six that the couple, who share two daughters — Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14 — had been living apart “since the beginning of summer.”
“Sometimes relationships just run their course,” an insider said, adding that Kidman “did not want to split” and made efforts to save the marriage. Another source told People that the actress “feels hurt and betrayed” amid rumors Urban has moved on with another woman, though it remains unclear when that relationship began.
In her divorce filing obtained by The Post, Kidman requested to be the “primary residential parent” for their daughters and asked the court to approve a Marital Dissolution Agreement and Parenting Plan.
Since filing for divorce, Kidman has gradually returned to public life. She made her first post-split appearance at the amfAR Gala in Dallas on October 4, where she presented the Award of Inspiration to “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan.

Meanwhile, Urban appeared onstage for the first time since the breakup, performing without his wedding ring and scrapping a Kidman-inspired song from his setlist.
Kidman’s honest reflections in her Vogue interview — about how “life changes” when you least expect it — now mirror the quiet strength she’s showing as she steps into a new chapter of her life.
