In a high-profile split that has attracted significant media attention, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban officially finalised their divorce in January 2026, nearly four months after their separation in September 2025. The couple, who enjoyed a nearly two-decade-long marriage, have mutually agreed on the parenting arrangements for their two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15.

Following the divorce, Kidman has been awarded primary residential custody of the children, although both parents have committed to sharing responsibility for critical decisions regarding their upbringing. Recent reports assert that despite speculation regarding tensions between Urban and his daughters, the family dynamic appears to be more stable than previously assumed.
Sources close to the family have indicated that Sunday and Faith maintain a positive relationship with their father, contradicting claims that the children had ceased communication with Urban. “The girls are very close with their mum and also protective of her,” a source informed PEOPLE. “They do have a relationship with their dad as well.” This suggests that the children are managing to navigate the complexities of their parents’ divorce while remaining connected to both sides of their family.
Nicole Kidman, 58, has publicly shared her perspective on motherhood since the divorce, expressing gratitude for her daughters through heartfelt social media posts. On Mother’s Day, she shared a nostalgic photograph with Sunday and Faith, stating, “To my beautiful girls, the greatest joy is being your mother.” Her words resonated with many, and she extended the sentiment to mothers everywhere, emphasising the importance of familial bonds.
In the wake of her separation, Kidman has also participated in several public events, such as the 2026 Met Gala, where she was accompanied by Sunday Rose. During a recent interview with Variety, she opened up about her life following the divorce, asserting that she feels “good”. “I am grateful for my family and keeping them as is and moving forward,” she commented, reaffirming her commitment to maintain their family unit, despite the changes.
The actress revealed her plans to continue residing in Nashville, a city she has called home for the past twenty years alongside Urban. “We have our life here,” she said, underlining her deep connection to the community. “It’s my home.” This statement underscores her desire for stability for her daughters, amidst the transition that the family is undergoing.
Urban, 58, has largely remained out of the public eye since the divorce, with limited statements regarding his relationship with his daughters. However, the involvement of both parents in significant decisions about Sunday and Faith suggests a willingness to prioritise their well-being above personal differences.
While the road ahead may bring challenges, both Kidman and Urban seem committed to co-parenting effectively and preserving a sense of unity within their family. This commitment shines through in the continued closeness between the girls and both of their parents. Sources indicate that the situation, contrary to some reports, is manageable, and that the family is navigating this period with a “normal” dynamic.
As they embark on this new chapter, Kidman and Urban’s shared goal remains focused on the happiness and welfare of their daughters, ensuring that they continue to experience love and support from both parents. In an industry often characterised by strife and public fallout, the couple’s approach to co-parenting reflects a refreshing dedication to their familial responsibilities.
