In the wake of a high-profile split that left fans reeling, Nicole Kidman has stepped into the spotlight with rare vulnerability, sharing her first public thoughts on the end of her nearly two-decade marriage to Keith Urban. Nearly six months after the news broke, the acclaimed actress known for her poised grace amid life’s storms offers a glimpse into her journey of healing and renewal

First public remarks

Nicole Kidman broke her silence in a candid March 11, 2026, interview with Variety. When asked whether every year is probably the year of Nicole Kidman, to which she responded thoughtfully, “I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good.” Reflecting on her quieter phase, she added, “Well, not last year. I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell.”Following the split, Nicole Kidman maintained a low profile, focusing inward amid personal upheaval. Reports from People magazine noted her withdrawal from some public events last fall, a departure from her usual vibrant presence. Keith Urban, 58, also stayed largely silent initially, though subtle hints in prior interviews had fueled speculation about strains in their relationship.

Divorce timeline

Nicole Kidman filed for divorce from Keith Urban in September 2025, ending their 19-year marriage that began in 2006. The couple, who share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, separated quietly over the summer. Court filings listed irreconcilable differences as the reason, with no public drama unfolding at the time. The announcement stunned many, given their image as one of entertainment’s steadiest pairs, blending Kidman’s film stardom with Urban’s country music legacy.

What the future holds

Looking to the future, Nicole Kidman signals excitement for 2026. “Now I’m in a place of saying, ‘2026. Here we go.’ I have Practical Magic with [Sandra Bullock]. “I’ll be in full witch mode,” she shared, teasing her role in the hotly anticipated sequel alongside her longtime friend.She further added, “What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. 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.” Amid co-parenting her daughters and blended family duties, including stepchildren from Urban’s past, Kidman balances it all with resilience. Her outlook reaffirms a career in ascent, proving personal chapters close but never define her path. Go to Source
