Keith Urban Reaches Out on Nicole Kidman’s Birthday
The former “American Idol” judge kept things simple but warm. “Happy birthday, Nicole Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!” he wrote on Instagram Stories, set against a purple-and-teal background.
The gesture came months after the former couple finalized their divorce following nearly 20 years of marriage.
While Kidman did not publicly respond to the message, fans were quick to note the supportive tone of Urban’s post. The former couple share daughters Sunday and Faith and have continued to prioritize family despite their marriage ending.

The post quickly attracted messages from friends and fans, adding to a birthday celebration that appeared centered on gratitude and family.

Kidman Opens Up About Life After Divorce
GettyThe “Practical Magic” star has stayed largely guarded about her personal life since the breakup. “I’m hanging in there,” she told Interview in November 2025, just after word of the separation broke.
Months on, she opened up about putting family first and keeping life steady for her girls. “I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good. What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward,” she told Variety in March.
“That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
She was equally firm that Nashville would stay her base. “We have our life here,” she said. “I’m part of the city and community for 20 years. It’s my home.”
Keith Urban Finds Comfort in Music After the Split
Urban has mostly kept quiet about the divorce, but people in his circle say he is focused on what’s ahead.
A source told Us Weekly in October 2025, a month after the news became public, that the split had been a long time coming, with the two slowly drifting apart over the years.
Through it all, music has been his anchor. Earlier this year, fellow country singer Russell Dickerson offered a reassuring read on where Urban’s head is at.
“Keith Urban is my guy,” Dickerson told Page Six, adding that Urban was “doing great” and pouring his energy into his work.
