📰 Inside Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban’s First Week After Divorce Filing

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s split, after 19 years of marriage, has unfolded with surprising speed and quiet precision in the first week since the divorce was made public. While the filing was officially on September 30, many of the arrangements had already been quietly put in place. Here’s what has come to light:

1. Parenting Plan Signed Before the Filing

Weeks before the divorce filing, Kidman and Urban reportedly reached agreement on a parenting plan. Keith signed on August 29, Nicole on September 6. Under that plan, Kidman is slated to be the primary residential parent of their daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14 — they’ll spend around 306 days a year with their mother, and 59 days with their father.

The plan also includes stipulations for both parents to not speak badly about each other or their respective families in front of the children, ensuring stability.

2. Official Divorce Filing

Kidman officially filed for divorce in Davidson County Circuit Court in Nashville on September 30, 2025. The grounds cited are irreconcilable differences. The legal separation date was listed as the same day.

3. First Public Appearances & Response

Nicole Kidman made her first public appearance four days after filing, attending the amfAR Gala in Dallas (October 4, 2025) where she presented an Award of Inspiration. She appeared composed and focused on her work and children.
She also made a more recent appearance at Paris Fashion Week (attending the Chanel Spring–Summer 2026 show) and shared an Instagram post with images from the event. She thanked Chanel and noted she attended “with my girls.”
Keith Urban, meanwhile, has made his first performance since the split. He altered some lyrics in his tour shows (for example, omitting a song inspired by Kidman), did not wear his wedding ring, and made other subtle changes in his stage presence.

4. Emotional & Practical Underpinnings

Sources say Kidman was “fighting to save the marriage” up until the filing; the divorce was not necessarily something she initiated lightly. She’s reportedly been anxious about the divorce becoming public but is trying to maintain calm for the sake of her daughters.

There are also indications they had been living apart since the beginning of summer 2025, due to conflicting schedules — Kidman working on filming and Urban constantly touring.

5. What’s Already Settled

The parenting plan is in place.
According to the documents, neither party is required to pay spousal support.
They’ve both committed legally to certain conditions—like not speaking ill of each other around their children, encouraging love for both parents, and completing a mandatory parenting seminar (unless exempted).

Nicole Kidman’s first week post‑filing reveals a lot: pre‑planning, legal and parental responsibilities largely sorted, public appearances that strike a balance between vulnerability and poise, and Keith Urban already shifting some of his public performance approach. For fans, it’s a masterclass in how a high‑profile separation can be managed with discretion, structure, and thoughtful care — especially when children are involved.
