After nearly two decades together, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s separation is now official, and reports reveal that Keith Urban may have already moved on with someone new.
The couple, who married in June 2006 and share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, quietly split in June of this year. TMZ first reported the separation in late September, confirming Keith was the one to initiate it. Since then, Nicole has been publicly fighting to save the marriage.

A source close to Nicole told People, “She didn’t want this. She has been fighting to save the marriage.” Another insider shared, “Nicole’s sister [Antonia] has been a rock and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another.”

According to multiple sources within Nicole and Keith’s inner circle, “all the signs point to the fact that Keith is with another woman. Let’s just say, Nicole doesn’t dispute that, but she’s still shocked over it.” The insider added, “It’s all over Nashville.”

A source told Page Six, “Their lives were moving in different directions, and once he quietly set up his own place, it felt like the writing was on the wall.” Friends close to Keith reportedly believed the split was “kind of inevitable.”

Though the couple shared a heartfelt Instagram anniversary post just three months prior to their split, insiders revealed to People that their separation “really hasn’t been a secret,” with the two living apart for some time.
