Weddings, divorce, beefs, and crashes in celeb land

Here's a look at this week's biggest celebrity moments:

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have reportedly separated after nearly two decades together. The couple married in 2006 and share two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

The couple have been apart, each working on their individual projects. Kidman has been based in London while filming a Practical Magic sequel, renting a Hampstead mansion for about $87 000 (R1.5 million) a month while Urban is on his High and Alive tour across the US and Canada.

Sources say Kidman was blindsided by the split but that the pair may not rush into divorce. She filed for divorce a day later, citing “irreconcilable differences” and “marital difficulties”.

They were last photographed together in May at the Academy of Country Music Awards and were seen in June at a soccer match in Nashville.

Cardi B and Nicki Minaj reignited their long-running feud on X. This comes after Cardi B’s album Am I The Drama went double platinum just 10 days after its release.

The record debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, moving roughly 200 000 units with 146 million streams. Minaj suggested the sales were inflated. Cardi B told Minaj to compare herself to Rihanna and Taylor Swift rather than her, and called Minaj “Cocaine Barbie”.
