Kidman and Urban, who have been married since 2006 and share two daughters, Sunday and Faith, are currently juggling busy schedules. Urban, a musician, is on tour in the United States, with a performance scheduled in Inglewood, California. Unfortunately, his touring commitments meant he was unable to accompany Kidman to the residency appointment in Portugal.

According to Portuguese outlet Sic Noticias, Kidman had been in Portugal since July 20 and applied for a residence permit with the country’s Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum on July 22. Despite this application, the couple’s primary residence remains in Nashville. Kidman recently provided fans with a sneak peek into her life, sharing a behind-the-scenes video from the set of Practical Magic 2, where she and co-star Sandra Bullock were captured embracing on their first day of filming.

The highly-anticipated sequel to the 1998 movie, Practical Magic, is set to hit theatres in September 2026. Alongside Kidman and Bullock reprising their roles, Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest will also be returning to portray the aunts from the original film. Urban’s tour schedule is jam-packed, with performances lined up in multiple countries through October, including stops in Australia, Canada, the Bahamas, and various locations across the U.S. next year.
As the buzz surrounding Kidman’s residency application continues to grow, fans eagerly anticipate updates on the couple’s future plans. Despite the distance and their respective work commitments, Kidman and Urban’s enduring relationship remains a source of inspiration for many. The couple’s ability to balance their individual careers while continuing to support each other is a testament to their unwavering bond.
