Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s 19-year marriage has officially come to an end.
Court documents from Tennessee reveal the details of their divorce settlement, finalized this week.
The Hollywood power couple, who announced their separation in September, has reached agreements on custody, finances, and property division.
Here’s everything we know about how they’re moving forward as co-parents.
Official Divorce Filing Reveals Key Details
Davidson County Circuit Court in Tennessee processed the finalization on Tuesday, marking the legal end to nearly two decades of marriage between the 58-year-old actress and country music star.
Judge Stephanie Williams granted what court documents describe as “an absolute divorce” after determining that irreconcilable differences made continuing the marriage “impractical and impossible.”
The filing came just months after the couple publicly announced their split, ending what many considered one of Hollywood’s most stable marriages.
Custody Arrangement Prioritizes Stability for Daughters
Kidman and Urban share two daughters: 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 15-year-old Faith Margaret.
According to the parenting plan outlined in court filings obtained by USA TODAY, the girls will primarily reside with Kidman.
Urban will maintain regular contact through an every-other-weekend visitation schedule, ensuring both parents remain active in their daughters’ lives during this transitional period.
This arrangement allows the teenagers to maintain consistency in their daily routines while spending meaningful time with both parents.
Financial Settlement Reached Without Spousal Support
Both Kidman and Urban waived their rights to spousal support, according to court documents.
This decision reflects their individual financial independence—Kidman has built a fortune through decades of acclaimed film work, while Urban has established himself as one of country music’s biggest names.
E! News reported that the former couple agreed all property, bank accounts, and investments were “settled to the mutual satisfaction of both parties.”
Division of Assets and Responsibilities
The final decree specifies that personal property has been divided amicably between both parties.
Each will handle their own financial obligations moving forward:
- Individual debts: Both parties responsible for their own financial liabilities
- Trusts and accounts: Separate management of financial holdings
- Legal fees: Each paying their own attorney costs
- Business affairs: Mutual agreement to maintain confidentiality regarding finances
The confidentiality clause demonstrates their commitment to protecting their privacy despite the public nature of their separation.
Looking Back at Their 19-Year Union
Kidman and Urban married in 2006 in a romantic ceremony in Sydney, Australia.
Their relationship became known for weathering the intense scrutiny that comes with celebrity marriages. Urban has spoken openly over the years about Kidman’s support during his struggles with substance abuse early in their relationship.
The couple frequently appeared on red carpets together and publicly expressed affection for one another in interviews and social media posts throughout their marriage.
Their September announcement shocked fans who viewed them as relationship goals in an industry known for short-lived marriages.
What Happens Next for Both Stars
With the legal proceedings concluded, both Kidman and Urban can focus on their respective careers and co-parenting responsibilities.
Kidman continues working on high-profile film and television projects, maintaining her status as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actresses. Urban remains active in country music, with touring and recording commitments that keep him in the public eye.
The mutual confidentiality agreement suggests both parties intend to handle their post-divorce lives with discretion, potentially limiting public statements about the split.
For their daughters, the primary custody arrangement with Kidman and regular visits with Urban provides structure during what could be a challenging adjustment period for the family.
The amicable nature of the settlement—with no contentious battles over support or assets—indicates both stars prioritized reaching an agreement that works for everyone involved, especially their children.
