Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce on Sept 30 from her Grammy-winning singer-husband Keith Urban after nearly 20 years of marriage, according to court records.

In a filing in circuit court in Davidson County, Tennessee, in Nashville, where the Australian-American entertainment power couple have lived, Kidman, 58, cited irreconcilable differences in her request to end the marriage.

Reports of their split started circulating on Sept 29, after celebrity gossip website TMZ covered the news. The couple have two daughters together.

Kidman and Urban, 57, met in January 2005, when both were being honoured at G’Day USA, an annual gala in Los Angeles hosted by the American Australian Association.

“It sounds a bit like a pickup line from Crocodile Dundee” Urban, referring to the 1986 movie, said during a speech in 2024 when Kidman was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute.
