The love story of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban has come to an end after nearly two decades of marriage.
Sources claimed the country singer initiated the breakup while the actress did everything she could to save their marriage.
Nicole has been focusing on family “since Keith has been gone,” an insider said.

Kidman, 58, and Urban, 57, have reportedly been living apart “since the beginning of summer,” according to multiple sources who spoke to TMZ.
“Keith has acquired his own residence in Nashville and has moved out of their family home,” they told the outlet.
The sources claimed the split was one-sided, and Nicole didn’t want to call off their marriage.

The Oscar winning actress tried to save their relationship and is now taking care of their two daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
She is “holding the family together through this difficult time since Keith has been gone,” the sources said.
Their separation came as a surprise to fans, but people close to the couple were aware of the situation.
It “really hasn’t been a secret” that the pair have “been living separately for a while now,” one source told People.

“People close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable,” they added.
While speaking about the separation, one source told Page Six, “Sometimes relationships just run their course.”
The former American Idol judge reportedly wanted to breakup, but Kidman “did not want the separation and was trying to save things” a source said.
“She didn’t want this,” another source told People. “She has been fighting to save the marriage.”

Through the difficult time, Kidman’s sister Antonia has reportedly been her shoulder to lean on.
“Nicole’s sister has been a rock, and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another,” a source told the outlet.
The Baby Girl star and the New Zealand-born singer tied the knot in 2006.
They welcomed two daughters over the years and celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary in June this year.

Kidman is also a mother to daughter Bella, 32, and son Connor, 30, from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.
“I’m so lucky that I have Keith, who’s just my love, my deep, deep love,” the actress told People last year.
“That gives me the ability to go and do whatever I have to do because I know where I can come back to,” she added.

Both the stars grew up in Australia and first met on the other side of the world during the G’Day USA gala in January, 2005.
They had exchanged numbers, but Kidman said it took the singer four months to give her a call.
“I had such a crush on him and he wasn’t interested in me. It’s true!” she told Ellen DeGeneres in 2017. “He didn’t call me for four months.”

The year they met, Urban showed up to her apartment at 5 a.m. with gardenias in his hands for her 38th birthday.
“It was my birthday, and he stood outside with gardenias at 5 a.m. on my stoop in New York,” Kidman told People in 2019.
“That is when I went, ‘This is the man I hope I get to marry,’” she added.

They exchanged wedding vows in a candlelit ceremony in Sydney.
Kidman’s children Bella and Connor attended the ceremony, and the daughter was part of the bridal party.
In June this year, Kidman shared a candid photo of them together for their anniversary with the caption: “Happy anniversary baby.”
The same month, Urban abruptly hung up on the hosts of an Australian radio show when they asked about seeing his wife opposite younger co-stars in films.
“What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV and radio?” the show host asked.
The question was followed by silence.

“What just happened here?” the host asked, to which the producer said, “He’s disconnected from Zoom.”
“He’s gone, see you Keith.”
In July this year, Kidman submitted an application to become a resident of Portugal. Urban’s name was not included in the application at the time.
Netizens had strong reactions to the news of their split, with one saying, “I think when she filmed [sic] Baby Girl that’s when their marriage was over.”
“A Band-Aid can only stay stuck for so long,” another wrote.

Fans urged Urban to give their marriage another shot.
“Pleaseeee don’t leave your wife and break up your family…..” one said.
Another wrote, “Go back to your wife and work things out! Marriage is hard!”
Some even dragged Jimmy Fallon into the conversation and claimed he now had a chance. The comedian had apparently blown a date with Kidman in the past.

“Jimmy Fallon finally has his chance,” one joked, while another said, “It’s Jimmy Fallon’s chance.”
During a 2015 appearance on The Tonight Show, Kidman said their mutual friend set her up on a date with Fallon. But the talk show host didn’t realize it was a date.
“I went over, and you’re there in a baseball cap and, like, nothing,” Kidman joked to Fallon during the show. “And you wouldn’t talk. You wouldn’t say anything, and then you put a video game on or something… So after about an hour and a half, I thought, ‘He has no interest, this is so embarrassing … and then I was like, ‘Maybe he’s gay.’”
“I can’t believe I dated Nicole Kidman,” Fallon quipped during the segment.
“Not the Aussie Brad & Angelina,” one commented online following the news of the couple’s split
