Their love story began when they met at a gala in 2005; a year later they were engaged and they married in Sydney in 2006: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s love was meteoric and has ended almost 20 years later.
According to Variety, one of Australia’s most talented (and wealthiest) couples would have ended their marriage, keeping the reasons for this separation private.
The couple had overcome critical moments in the early years of their relationship, when Nicole Kidman urged her then-husband to enter rehabilitation due to his problems with alcohol. Later, Urban stated that Kidman’s support had been a crucial pillar in his recovery.
From these past 19 years of their relationship come their two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, aged 17 and 14.
