Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban separate after 19 years amid busy schedules and growing distance.<\/h2>\n

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were once\u00a0Hollywood\u2019s power couple, sharing a bond that fans admired for years. But after 19 years of marriage and two daughters, the pair have now separated. The news, confirmed this week, came as a shock to many, though sources close to the couple say it had been building for a while. TMZ broke the news, reporting that the two have been living apart since the summer, with Kidman said to be against the split.<\/p>\n

Reason behind Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban\u2019s split<\/h2>\n

\"Nicole<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

According to sources who spoke to the Daily Mail, their hectic schedules and lack of closeness played a big role in the split. \u201cKeith never sees Nicole \u2014 either she\u2019s busy shooting or he\u2019s on tour,\u201d one source said. The couple reportedly grew apart over time, with intimacy fading and conversations becoming less frequent.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0Kidman was working in London this summer, filming Practical Magic 2, Urban was travelling across the US for his High and Alive World Tour. Sources say that the time apart only made the situation worse between them. \u201cThere was a lot of love between the two and they might not divorce. They been together for decades so there is a world which they can reconcile, but the way their pairing is now, they are not a couple.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Nicole Kidman was \u2018blindsided\u2019<\/h2>\n

It is believed that Keith Urban initiated the separation, voicing his unhappiness and calling out issues in the marriage. \u201cThe intimacy isn\u2019t there, they are just going through the motions [of being married]. If this separation gets them back together, that would be amazing, but Keith had to call her out that he isn\u2019t happy,\u201d\u00a0 the source told Daily Mail. Nicole, however, was said to be blindsided. \u201cShe didn\u2019t want this,\u201d one insider shared, adding that she has been trying to hold the family together. \u201c\u2019She was blindsided, but we shall see how things go during the holiday season and his upcoming birthday [next month]. They have some work to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The couple shares two daughters:\u00a0 Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Since the split, Nicole has been focusing on the children and leaning on her family for support. Her sister Antonia, in particular, has been described as her \u201crock\u201d during this difficult time. Urban, meanwhile, has moved into his own place in Nashville while continuing his tour. Kidman and the girls have remained at the family home.<\/p>\n

Despite their separation, people close to the couple say divorce is not confirmed yet. There\u2019s still hope they might reconcile. \u201cThey\u2019ve been together for nearly two decades, so it\u2019s possible they find their way back,\u201d one source explained.<\/p>\n

Kidman and Urban married in 2006 in Sydney.\u00a0Their marriage saw both highs and lows, from Urban\u2019s battle with addiction early on to supporting each other\u2019s careers at award shows and major milestones. In the past, Kidman has spoken about the reality of marriage, saying, \u201cThere\u2019s no perfect anything.\u201d Urban, too, had once called her his \u201creal-life princess\u201d and often praised her strength and spirit.<\/p>\n

Back in July, Urban hinted at tension when he abruptly hung up during a radio interview after being asked about Nicole\u2019s bold on-screen roles in Babygirl and A Family Affair. Kidman was married to Tom Cruise for 11 years before divorcing in 2001. During their time together, the two adopted two children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
