Nicole Kidman is ‘Looking Forward’ to 2026 Amid Divorce

STAYING POSITIVE

Kidman was married to Keith Urban for nearly two decades.

Actress Nicole Kidman shared a positive message looking into the new year, months after announcing her divorce from rocker Keith Urban.

Kidman, 58, brought in 2026 with her two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. The A-list actress posted an Instagram story of the trio, captioning it “looking forward into 2026 xx.”

The message comes amid her ongoing divorce from Urban, 58. The couple was married for 19 years. Kidman filed for divorce on Sept. 30, 2025, in a court in Nashville, Tennessee, where the couple was raising their two children. She cited “irreconcilable differences.” The two had been living apart since the beginning of last summer.

A source told People that Kidman wanted to spend the holiday season at home in Australia. “Nicole and the girls are in Australia for Christmas. This is all she wanted after a tumultuous fall,” the source said. “She just wanted to celebrate Christmas at home. She’s very excited.”

The insider revealed to People that Kidman is feeling positive going into the new year. “She’s been super positive and focused on things that she’s grateful for. And there are so many! She feels very blessed.”

In November, the magazine reported that while Kidman’s daughters live with the award-winning actress, they are also spending time with their father.

“Their daughters live with Nicole, but spend as much time with Keith as they want,” an insider told People. “There is no drama.”

In the wake of the divorce announcement, however, people have been quick to link Urban to other women, including his tour’s instrumentalist, Maggie Baugh, 25, and country music singer Karley Scott Collins, 25, who also opened for Urban’s tour. In October, Urban told fans to “stop reading s---” into his suspected lyric changes amid rumors that he changed a song to refer to Baugh instead of ex-wife Kidman.

Kidman, meanwhile, told Ariana Grande in a conversation for Interview Magazine that she is “hanging in there.” While the actress has not spoken explicitly about the split with Urban, she also told Vogue in October, “There’s something to knowing that no matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is, there is a way through.”
