After 19 years of marriage, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated, multiple outlets confirm.

TMZ was first to report that the couple has been living apart "since the beginning of summer." Several sources backed that up, telling Page Six that the country music star and Oscar-winning actress have quietly been navigating life separately for months.

Nicole Kidman has remained at the family’s Nashville home, taking care of their two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

“Sometimes relationships just run their course,” one insider said. However, those close to Kidman insist this wasn’t the outcome she wanted. “Nicole did not want the separation and was trying to save things,” a source shared, echoing similar reports across outlets.

While fans continued to see the couple support each other at red carpet events, like the 58th and 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, it appears their personal lives were already in flux behind the scenes.

Their 2006 wedding was once seen as a storybook romance between Hollywood and Nashville, but now the future of their union remains uncertain.
