Nicole Kidman, aged 58, has twice entered and dissolved marriages with high-profile public figures. Her first marriage was to actor Tom Cruise (married 1990; divorce finalized 2001). Her second marriage was to country singer Keith Urban (married June 2006; divorce petition filed September 30, 2025).
Prior Divorce (Kidman v. Cruise, 2001)
Kidman and Cruise announced their separation in February 2001, shortly after celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary.
Their divorce was finalized later that year.
During an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in August 2001, Kidman made remarks widely regarded as a veiled reference to Cruise’s shorter stature, quipping: “Well, I can wear heels now.”
The comment, delivered with humor, has since become one of the most cited public statements regarding their dissolution of marriage.
Current Divorce (Kidman v. Urban, 2025)
Kidman and Urban were married in a Catholic ceremony in Sydney, Australia, in June 2006. The couple resided in Nashville, Tennessee, from 2007 until the present.
They share two minor children: Sunday Rose (age 17) and Faith Margaret (age 14). Kidman is also the mother of two adult children, Isabella (32) and Connor (30), from her marriage to Cruise.
On September 30, 2025, Kidman filed a petition for divorce in Nashville, citing irreconcilable differences as the grounds. She listed the date of separation as the date of filing.
Reports indicate that Kidman attempted to preserve the marriage prior to the filing but ultimately concluded that reconciliation was not possible.
Public Reaction and Resurfacing Remarks
Following public disclosure of the Kidman-Urban separation, a 2001 clip resurfaced online featuring Kidman’s “heels” remark from her post-Cruise divorce period.
Fans and commentators have drawn parallels between her first and second divorces, noting perceived similarities in tone and resilience.
Despite the pending dissolution, reports suggest Kidman is relying on familial support and has maintained a composed public presence.#newsafro_
