A 306-Day Split: Details Emerge On Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban’s Final Custody Agreement

It’s officially over.

Today, the divorce of Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman was finalized, after Kidman first filed for divorce on September 30th, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee. They had been separated and living apart since the beginning of summer when Keith moved out.

The rumor from several sources is that Kidman was trying to save the marriage, and that it was Urban who wanted out, but either way, it’s sad to see this nearly two-decade marriage come to an end.

Of course, you never know what’s really going on behind closed doors, but the two of them always appeared very much in love, and they often spoke publicly about their seemingly strong marriage and life together. They share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, and it’s just heartbreaking all-around, especially for their kids.

They were married for 19 years, and first met in 2005 after meeting at the G’Day USA gala in Los Angeles. Urban talked about his wife’s “otherworldly era,” saying he was incredibly nervous to talk to her and felt like he was meeting a “real life princess.” He eventually worked up the nerve to ask for her number, though it still took him a while to actually call her.

Once he did, their connection was instant and the rest is history. They were married the following year in 2006:

“I was trying to play it cool, but inside, I felt like I had snuck into the royal ball. Simply because Nic has such a truly otherworldly era about her, and I felt a bit like I was meeting a real life princess… and despite all of that, I did manage to get her phone number on a tiny piece of paper, and I carried that number in my pocket for well over a week.

I’d pull it out and look at it… I was just scared. I was nervous to call her, and as prone as I might have been at the time to all sorts of delusional thinking, even I couldn’t stretch that to think this extraordinary would ever see anything in a guy like me. And that’s not me being humble, that’s literally how I saw myself and her. I did, as you’ve probably figured out, work up the courage to finally call her.

We started talking, and we just talked and talked like we’d known each other our whole lives. It turned out that this mystic creature was really just a wide eyed, vivacious, giddy girl from the Sydney suburbs, and despite being born in Honolulu, she was utterly Aussie through and through.”

In the finalized divorce decree and parenting schedule obtained by Whiskey Riff, also shared in People, new details were shared about the details of the split and their plan going forward.

The court documents state that each party is responsible for their own legal fees and expenses, and in addition to laying out the schedule for when each parent will get their kids, they are both required to “behave with each other and each child so as to provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced.”

The parenting agreement also states:

“They will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent. They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.”

Kidman’s home will be her daughters’ primary residence, as she has them for 306 days out of the year, and Urban was granted 59 days out of the year. Kidman has remained in their Nashville home since Urban moved out last year, and her daughters will continue to live there with her the majority of the time.

Sources told People previously that there has been little drama in terms of when their daughters get to see each parent, and it sounds like the divorce has been as amicable as possible when it comes to the dissolution of a 19-year marriage.

Both parents have joint responsibility for major decisions when it comes to their children, and neither spouse will receive alimony from the other. Urban and Kidman were beloved by so many fans, and they always seemed to be such a happy couple. Of course, you never know what’s going on behind closed doors, and I’m sure this has been especially devastating for their teenage daughters, but hopefully they can put this behind them and move forward as a new kind of family in a happier place.
