Nicole Kidman has revealed she has made mistakes after it was revealed she is headed for a divorce from Keith Urban. The Hollywood actress, 58, admitted she has always been a risk taker and confirmed she will learn from her ways after the pair’s split was confirmed after 19 years together.

Nicole and Keith’s separation was revealed last week, with the singer reportedly having moved out of their Nashville house. It is rumoured he is already dating someone new.

Nicole said: “Taking a risk is what I’ve always done. You get back up and you try again and you learn.”

Speaking to Vogue, she went on: “Literally walk away from it because it will fell you. It will destroy you.”

Despite her words, Nicole made sure to steer clear of directly talking about her marriage breakdown. However, she stressed the importance of “ride-or-die friendships.

Nicole returned to the spotlight earlier this week for the first time since the news broke. She was joined by her kids at an award ceremony in Dallas, Texas, on Saturday night.

The Moulin Rouge star honoured television showrunner Taylor Sheridan at the amfAR Dallas Gala, where she presented her with an award.

A source had previously revealed the anxious feeling Nicole had had due to her separation from Keith. A source told People the Aussie star had: “Been stressed [for months] because she knew the separation would eventually become public and she was dreading [the public’s response].”

The source went on: “She’s surprisingly level-headed and calm. Now that it’s out she’s just focused on what’s ahead and her girls.”

Meanwhile, Keith – with whom Nicole shares daughters Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14 – seemed to address his marriage complications during his current tour. Eagle-eyed fans spotted Keith had dropped a tune, that is believed to be about Nicole, from his recent set.

The sing, his 2016 track titled The Fighter, had previously been described as being written for Nicole. However, following news of their break-up, it appeared to have vanished from his playlist.

It’s a tune he has regularly performed during past tours. In it, lyrics include: “When they’re tryna get to you, baby I’ll be the fighter.”

Nicole and Keith’s divorce is said to have come as the pair “suffered irreconcilable differences”. It prompted the actress to begin divorce proceedings.

Divorce documents include a detailed parenting plan, with it said that Nicole will be the primary parents. It’s suggested that she will be the residential parent for 306 days of the year, with the singer having the remaining 59.

They are also said to have fairly split up the holiday periods to share special occasions.

In 2022 she spoke with the Irish Examiner about her situation. Ruth called it one of her greatest life challenges to date and claimed it took “eight years of her life”.

She said at the time: “My injury is the greatest challenge I’ve faced in my life so far. I injured it playing soccer at the age of 15.

“It never healed correctly so until I was 23, I was on and off crutches, getting loads of operations. Because of nerve damage and chronic pain, I chose to get it amputated. It took eight years of my life, constantly going in and out of hospital.”

The actress went on: “My whole life revolved around trying to heal my leg. For years, I didn’t see it getting any better. I was stuck in a really bad mindset and I was p****d off at life.

“When I made the decision to amputate it, things finally started to turn around. It was a relief. I could get on my life.

“I was just messing around in school and fell over playing soccer, which is the worst part because I don’t even like soccer. At least I could have gone out in blaze of glory doing something that I loved but – no!”

As well as her upcoming Traitors appearance, Ruth has also starred in The Fall of the House of Usher as well as Sky TV series Small Town, Big Story and the live action remake of How To Train Your Dragon.

In an interview with 5 news, Dustin said: “I got quite tearful that day. When I was able to join in that great tradition and understand it fully and come to understand a bit more than I ever knew even when I was fighting for it.”

He added: “We’re just really open about who we are and I don’t think it’s even a gay thing, we just don’t hide our relationship.

“If we’re going to do something together we’re husbands, we’re each other’s life partners. We love each other so we don’t hide it.”

Dustin flew his family to the UK from Texas but said he and his husbands were actually the ones who left the party first.

He said: “[Tom and I] were the first to go to bed they stayed up all night drinking. It was great. I’ve felt part of that family for a long time. But I’m not sure I’m 50 per cent Plymouth yet, I haven’t earned that.”

Tom and Dustin are dads to their two sons – Robert ‘Robbie’ Ray Black-Daley born in 2018 and Pheonix Rose Black-Daley who was born in March 2023.

The Traitors is returning to our screens this Wednesday night and, for the first time in the UK version of the show, there will be famous faces from the worlds of sport, entertainment, music and more entering the iconic castle.

During his open appearance on the Apple TV show The Reluctant Traveller with Eugene Levy, Prince William only mentions estranged brother Harry once – and the host of the show has revealed why

Eugene Levy has revealed why he didn’t probe Prince William on his bitter feud with Prince Harry during his candid chat with the Prince of Wales.

William gave a rare glimpse into his family life and his plans for when he is King during an appearance on Levy’s Apple TV show The Reluctant Traveller. As the prince gave the Schitt’s Creek star a tour of Windsor Castle, William set out his approach to the monarchy, saying, “I want to question things more”, but added that central to his world was his family life with wife Kate and their three children.

The heir to the throne also candidly described how his wife’s cancer battle left him overwhelmed, revealed his children do not have mobile phones, and said he aims to create a “world in which my son is proud of what we do”.

During the course of the episode, his estranged brother only came up once when William revealed his hopes to not repeat the past when he ascends the throne.

He said: “I hope we don’t go back to some of the practices in the past that Harry and I had to grow up in. And I’ll do everything I can to make sure we don’t regress in that situation.”

In an interview with ITV News, Levy was asked if the reason he did not ask more about the brothers’ rift was that because he was told it was off limits.

But he revealed in his reply: “I was not told I couldn’t ask anything, but it wasn’t really, you know, up to me, to get into that. I had no interest in asking him about that, because it was, you know, very delicate issue and certainly not up to me to get into it.

“I think there were other things, you know, I could lead the conversation to that might be interesting for him and interesting for the world to hear, but that was something I wasn’t necessarily interested in getting into.”

William’s single mention of his brother is one of just a handful of times that he has talked about him so publicly since he and Meghan quit as working royals and moved to California more than five years ago.

And former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror : “The mention of Harry is indeed fleeting and I think it would be wrong to spend much time talking about it. But I suppose it does show that William hasn’t blocked his brother completely from his brain.

“They shared a traumatic childhood and adolescence, and nothing can ever change that part of their history. It was only natural for him to include Harry when talking about his childhood, but I don’t think we should read more into it than that.”

Jennie added: “On the programme as a whole, I think it was an extraordinary insight into who William really is. We all think we know him, at least as a prince, but this was a glimpse behind the mask at the man who will be King.

“The words that screamed out at me were his unequivocal intention to question whether certain aspects of the monarchy are fit for purpose.

“He is not going to stand for doing things in a certain way just because that’s what has happened in the past. He respects and is surrounded by tradition but refuses to be bound by it. And that’s something fairly new.”

Stand-up comedian Peter Kay and his wife Susan Gargan had a honeymoon they’ll never forget but, sadly, for all the wrong reasons as the star reveals in his new book

View 2 Images

Peter Kay has revealed his honeymoon with his beloved wife was “ruined” as it coincided with the 9/11 terror attacks – turning their resort into a joyless place.

The comedian has written a new book in the form of a diary with stories and anecdotes for each month.

And writing about September, the Phoenix Nights creator also recalls his honeymoon disaster, as he and wife Susan were married just a few days before the September 11 attacks in 2001 and were in Mexico when the disaster unfolded.

Kay thought it was a movie when he first saw the twin towers on fire on TV before the realisation hit and the holiday resort took on an eerie state.

Kay writes: “The whole resort was flung into grief, as you’d expect. We really wanted to go back home, but thousands of planes were grounded. It was an unprecedented move to thwart any further attacks from hijacked planes.

“That backlog lasted for weeks. We tried calling home, but queues for any public phones were huge, mainly Americans calling family and friends.

“The feeling was eerie. All joy evaporated. All music stopped. It was a surreal juxtaposition; we were in such idyllic surroundings while all this tragedy was happening. We tried to continue with normal holiday activities, but we felt guilty.”

Kay said the world changed for years afterwards and when children came into their lives he tried to shield his young kids from 9/11 and would change TV channel if a programme came on mentioning it as there was no real explanation for what happened.

He added: “Sometimes the world can be a horrible place, and it ruined our honeymoon. We got back home six days later than scheduled. We were so grateful to get a flight back. We’d been waiting in a packed airport in Cancun for seven hours.

“I’ll never forget the passengers clapped and cheered when we landed in Manchester. Such a relief to be back on terra firma, though no one would feel safe for a long time to come. F**king Al-Qaeda.”

Elsewhere in the book, Kay also details how he needed emergency surgery in recent years after a kidney stone left him in agony.

He recounted the events in comedy fashion, before writing: “It was painful and unpleasant and a dreadful experience I never wish to repeat. Ever!”
