As part of the ruling, the presiding judge granted Kidman primary residential custody of the couple’s two teenage daughters. Details regarding visitation arrangements and other terms of the settlement were not fully disclosed, but the custody decision marks a significant outcome in the proceedings.
The former couple had jointly filed for divorce in September, citing marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences. At the time, the filing was kept relatively low-key, with both parties maintaining silence as speculation grew among fans and the media.
The divorce has come as a shock to many admirers, as Kidman and Urban were widely regarded as one of entertainment’s most enduring power couples. Throughout their marriage, they frequently appeared together at major industry events and spoke publicly about their mutual support, often portraying a strong and united front.
Nicole Kidman, an Oscar-winning actress with a career spanning decades, and Keith Urban, a globally celebrated country singer, married in 2006 and built a family life that was largely kept away from public controversy. Their separation now marks the end of a relationship that, for years, symbolised stability in an industry known for fleeting romances.
While neither Kidman nor Urban has issued a detailed public statement following the court’s decision, the finalisation of the divorce signals a new chapter for both stars as they move forward independently, professionally and personally.
