As Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban finalise their divorce after two decades of marriage, reports suggest the country singer has swiftly moved on, reportedly living with a new girlfriend. This development is said to be influencing the dynamics within their family, particularly concerning their two teenage daughters.
Divorce Details and Unusual Custody Arrangement
The high-profile split between 58-year-old Nicole Kidman and 57-year-old Keith Urban was initiated on grounds of 'irreconcilable differences'. The couple, who married in June 2006, share two daughters: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. While their union appeared idyllic publicly, Kidman's earlier comment about 'hanging in there' hinted at underlying emotional strain.
Court documents have outlined a specific custody agreement. The children will reside with their mother for the majority of the time. Keith Urban's scheduled time with them is from 10am on Saturdays until 6pm on Sundays every other weekend. Special holidays have also been divided: Nicole will have the girls on Mother's Day and Easter, while Keith will spend Father's Day and Thanksgiving with them.
New Romance and Alleged Family Rift
A source speaking to the DailyMail has now claimed that Keith Urban has a new partner, suggesting this is a key reason the children are publicly aligning with their mother. "I hear he has someone, which is why the girls are publicly supporting Mom. People think they are even living together," the source stated.
The insider further suggested that Nicole Kidman's increased social media presence with her daughters—including posts from Paris, Sydney, and a Thanksgiving 'turkey trot'—is a subtle message. "I feel like with the pictures she is briefing against him, without briefing against him. It feels as if she is really mad at him and she is using the girls to show that he is in the doghouse," the source added.
Financial Settlement and Co-Parenting Pledge
Financial disclosures from the divorce proceedings, seen by Page Six, reveal that both stars earn substantial incomes. Each reportedly earns in excess of $100,000 (£74,000) per month, equating to over $1.2 million (£891,300) annually. This significant income means neither party will be required to pay child support.
Despite the rumours of tension, the divorce documents include a formal agreement between Kidman and Urban. They have vowed not to 'speak badly of each other' or other family members and promise to 'encourage' their children to 'love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.'
The finalisation of this twenty-year marriage marks a significant shift for both celebrities, with the focus now on how this new chapter and reported relationships will shape their family's future.
