Nicole Kidman Speaks Out About Keith Urban Divorce for the First Time

Nicole Kidman has recently spoken about her separation from Keith Urban in an interview, following their divorce finalisation earlier this January. Kidman, 58, who filed for divorce in September 2025, is now openly discussing her journey during this transitional period in her life, while also sharing her excitement for upcoming projects.

In a candid conversation with Variety, published last week, Kidman addressed her personal life and career developments following the end of her marriage. “I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good,” Kidman expressed when asked how she has been coping since the separation. She emphasised the importance of family during this time, stating, “What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that.”

The Oscar-winning actress is a mother to two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, whom she shares with Urban. Reflecting on her family life, she remarked, “We are a family, and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.” It is clear that maintaining a close-knit relationship with her daughters is her utmost priority amid the changes in her personal circumstances.

Kidman’s remarks came during an expansive interview where she discussed her professional commitments, including her involvement in a sequel to the beloved film, *Practical Magic*. The actress also hinted at her excitement for a new Prime Video series titled *Scarpetta*. When prompted about her return to the limelight, she quipped, “Now I’m in a place of saying, ‘2026. Here we go.’ I’ll be in full witch mode,” referencing her return to her role alongside Sandra Bullock in *Practical Magic 2*, which is set to be released on 11 September.

The divorce itself was a topic of significant scrutiny, reportedly stemming from “marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences.” Their divorce papers noted these considerations as reasons for Kidman’s decision to initiate proceedings in Davidson County, Tennessee. Despite the challenges, both Kidman and Urban managed to effectively negotiate a resolution regarding the division of their assets and parental responsibilities.

As part of the divorce settlement, it was agreed that Kidman would have primary custody of their daughters at their home in Nashville, with both parents retaining joint authority over significant life decisions affecting the children. This arrangement appears to demonstrate a commitment to co-parenting in a manner that prioritises the well-being of their daughters.

During her interview, Kidman also reflected on her aspirations beyond acting. While she has previously directed, the actress admitted that her current focus remains on her children. “I’ve circled it. But then I’ve been too busy or too tired,” she acknowledged about directing films. Instead, she is interested in returning to the theatre, particularly looking forward to opportunities in off-Broadway productions or regional theatre.

“I want to do theater again,” Kidman continued, recalling her previous experiences on Broadway and in the West End. However, she recognised the importance of managing her time and commitments in light of her daughters’ needs. “Right now is not the time for me to do that; I’ve got to take care of these kids.”

Kidman’s remarks depict a woman dedicated to her family while also eager to reclaim her career and creative pursuits once her circumstances allow. As she navigates this new chapter in her life, there is a palpable sense of optimism in her approach. With future projects in the pipeline and a renewed focus on her family, it is evident that Kidman is looking forward to what lies ahead.

The forthcoming release of *Practical Magic 2* marks a significant moment for Kidman, as she moves forward both personally and professionally. As she continues to adapt to her new situation, it is clear that her journey is one of growth, resilience, and a determined focus on positivity.
