FAMILY REUNION

Keith Urban Sends Nicole Kidman Birthday Wishes After Ending 18-Year Marriage

The couple divorced in September of last year.

Keith Urban still has kind words for his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman. The Grammy-winning country singer wished her well on her 59th birthday in a post on his Instagram Stories Saturday, writing, “happy birthday Nicole mary!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The couple had been married for 19 years before Kidman filed for divorce in September 2025, after separating a few months earlier. The duo shares two children, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, over whom they reportedly had a contentious custody battle, with Kidman winning primary custody of the teenagers.

Urban’s close friend, Russell Dickerson, said that Urban has “seemed in good spirits” since the divorce and has remained dedicated to his art. “He’s always been focused on music, and so I think he’s just kind of doubling down on that, and it’s just beautiful,” Dickerson told Page Six.

Kidman has also remained relatively silent about the split, telling Variety in March that she is “always going to be moving toward what’s good,” and adding, “I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
