Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s divorce has been officially settled after just over three months of negotiations.

In a few short months, the 58-year-old actress and musician Kieth, 57, have agreed to split their enormous property empire, which is reportedly valued at around $ 222 million (roughly $ 210 million), according to reports. According to the couple, the couple’s legal battles have ended in a Nashville court.

With no monthly child support from Keith, Nicole will be in charge of the couple’s daughters Faith, 15, and Sunday, 17, respectively. According to reports, neither Nicole nor Keith will provide spousal support. The children will be born for 306 days, according to reports, while Kieth will be able to have them for just 59, which is the same as every other weekend.

A parenting plan had been agreed upon by both Nicole and Keith in early September, according to court documents obtained by US Weekly. While the pair agreed to “encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families,” they also agreed not to insult one another or their former in-laws.

Meanwhile, according to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, it is believed that the pair’s real estate assets will be divided to satisfy both parties and that they will continue to own what they already do.

It is understood that Nicole and Keith own a large portion of their portfolio, which includes an estate in Australia’s Southern Highlands in New South Wales, a Beverly Hills mansion, a duplex in Manhattan, and a Nashville mansion.

Meanwhile, it has previously been reported that Nicole bought a three-bedroom apartment in the Landmark Latitude complex in Milsons Point in the North Shore in Australia. While Keith owns a 20 room mansion in Nashville, which he bought in 2008.

After 19 years of marriage, Nicole and Keith made the decision to end their relationship in September 2025. The former couple reportedly had sex problems as a result of their demanding careers and lack of intimacy at the time.

Nicole is never seen, according to a source who was referring to him at the time, either while he is filming or on tour.

The two people may not have gotten married despite their intense love. They have been married for ten years, so there is a world where they can reconcile, but their relationship is still a couple in their current form.

Since the pair hasn’t been seen together in public since the start of the year, there have been recent instances of public gloom between the two. And in July, Urban abruptly ended a radio interview after being inquired about Kidman’s recent acting work.

Keith was asked a “very tricky” question by Hayley and Max in the Morning during a Zoom interview with Australia’s Mix 102.3 radio station. Then, with your beautiful wife Nicole Kidman appearing in so many great movies and TV shows all the time, I watched a movie with her and Zac Efron recently, A Family Affair, which host Max Burford then said, “When I was coming up with something to ask you, Keith Urban, if you happen to play this game, I was coming up with something.”

which Kieth responded, “Oh no, that’s a good one.” What does Keith Urban think when his beautiful wife and his attractive younger partners, like Zac Efron, have these beautiful love scenes on TV and radio, is he asked, “Host Max then asked? “And I thought, “What does he think? Oh, why did that happen before the connection stopped with the host before the host questioned: “Oh, I guess not.” What has occurred here, exactly? He’s disconnected from Zoom, a response from someone in the background.

Before their careers changed in recent years, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant co-wrote well-known comedies like The Office and Extras.

Stephen Merchant says he is living a “separate life” to Ricky Gervais despite the pair forming a strong working relationship together. Stephen, 51, and 64-year-old Ricky co-wrote hit comedies such as the Office, Extras and Life’s Too Short.

They later co-hosted Karl Pilkington’s comedy An Idiot Abroad alongside comedian Karl Pilkington before co-producing Sky One’s An Idiot Abroad. However, Stephen claims that these days he doesn’t speak to Ricky much.

He says the pair realised they “couldn’t compete” with the Office and saw their careers moving in different directions. Stephen has since starred in films such as Gnomeo and Juliet and Fighting With My Family, while Ricky created Afterlife, starred in a host of films, and recently released his Netflix special, Mortality.

Speaking to The Times, Stephen said: “We’re not in touch a great deal these days but even at our closest we were living quite separate lives.

Ricky once said that he was 13 or 14 years older than me, so he discovered his favorite comfortable chair as I was discovering my favorite nightclub.

Stephen claims that Stephen now spends the majority of his days writing scripts and developing his upcoming stand-up routine from his London home. He claims that projects include “an action thriller, a sci-fi thing, and a rom-com.”

However, the actress has previously denied that the two had a relationship. He said in a 2022 interview with the Independent that “people immediately assume it’s “knives out” when people stop working as closely as they once did.

After After Life’s release, there was more talk of a potential rift between the two. When a character is “watching old home movies of dead child/wife,” Stephen said that this was his least favorite scene in a TV show.

Fans assumed it was a subtle remark about his ex-partner. However, Stephen claimed he hadn’t seen the television series, which follows Tony Johnson’s unraveling life after his beloved wife passes away.

Why would I ask Stephen, “Why would I?” I thought it was a strange idea to me to tweet something and then make an abstract critique of Ricky’s show.

After The Office’s early success, Stephen admits that he felt like he was “confronting himself.” And he hasn’t seen any of the other international remakes, despite admitting to having seen some of the American remakes, which feature Steve Carell.

He makes the joke that Noel Gallagher isn’t listening to all of the Wonderwall covers he does.

He recently got a question on the Neal Brennan podcast about what is the “secret sauce” behind the pair’s success. What I had in those days was that I was very focused on the mechanics of storytelling, the plotting, and the structure.

“I had chosen movies and TV apart to see how it worked because I had studied film at university.” I wasn’t particularly experienced at that time; instead, I thought Ricky had a more instinctive sense of humor, where he would simply blurt out fantastic funny stuff.

Jesy Nelson, who recently revealed her twins have been diagnosed with SMA type 1 has revealed her plans to kickstart a petition to get all newborns screened for the disease

Jesy Nelson has said she’s ‘determined’ to ‘fight’ as she shared her next plans after her twins devastating SM1 Type 1 diagnosis.

The former Little Mix star, 34, received an outpouring of love as she announced her twin babies, Ocean and Story, who were born in May, had been diagnosed with SMA Type 1. Spinal muscular atrophy type 1 (SMA Type 1) is a rare genetic condition causing muscle weakness, which can become fatal if left undiagnosed..

Following the announcement, in which Jesy revealed doctors have told her her daughters may never be able to walk, Jesy shared another video in which she shared her plans to launch a petition to get every newborn screened for the disease.

Jesy revealed she is petitioning for newborn babies to be screened for spinal muscular atrophy using a heel prick test. The earlier SMA is diagnosed, the better the outcome for those effected, so screening at the newborn stage could save lives.

While the NHS do offer a heel prick test at 5 days old, which screens for nine serious conditions, it does not test for SMA. NHS Scotland recently announced plans to add it to their screening in 2026, but NHS England is yet to announce such plans.

Speaking on a video shared on her Instagram story, Jesy said: “Hey guys, I just wanted to come on here to do another video to just basically say thank you, genuinely, so so much from the bottom of my heart for just the outpour of support and beautiful messages for me and just so many families qwho are dealing with this horrible diagnosis.

“Genuinely, I’m actually overwhelmed with the amount of support, you know, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that shared it, to everyone that just wanted to learn about it, that’s taken the time to watch it and sending me their beautiful messages – thank you from me, and also the SMA community, we just appreciate it so, so much.

“Also I just wanted to let you guys know that I am starting a petition to try and get the SMA on the newborn screening heel prick testing from birth. And I just need you to know that I am so determined to make this happen. So I’m gonna fight as much as I can to, you know, make this part of the newborn screening. It’s currently under review, so I will keep you updated with that one guys. And, also, I’m gonna be on This Morning tomorrow, which should be really fun. So, yes if you want to tune in to watch me on that I will be on there just chatting about my experience with having two beautiful baby girls with SMA Type 1 and what that’s like and, yeah, so if you wanna tune in – amazing. Love you all so, so much and like I said I can’t thank you enough for the support. We’ve got a long way to go and I appreciate you all so much. Thank you.”

When Jesy made the sad announcement about her twins health in an emotional Instagram post on Sunday, she revealed the disease is the “most severe muscular disease that a baby can get”. She added: “They will be disabled. The best thing we can do right now is get them treatment and just hope for the best.”

Using her platform, the singer now hopes to raise awareness of the early warning signs of SMA. She said that she raised some concerns to doctors that were initially dismissed and how a simple test at birth may have been able to save her children’s muscles.

The singer explained that her twins were born premature so she initially dismissed her mum’s concerns about the twins and their lack of leg movement – as she was told by doctors not to compare her babies to others as they will meet milestones at a different time.

However, when they started struggling to feed she started questioning the doctors but says she was dismissed. It took months of hospital visits and tests for the twins to be diagnosed and treated.

Lorraine Kelly has said she became “very emotional” while filming her new Channel 4 show. In the three-part documentary, the 66-year-old ditches the ITV studio for a breathtaking adventure in Norway.

From fishing for cod, to goat massages and swimming in icy waters, Lorraine shows fans her more adventurous side as she throws herself into the local culture.

The presenter explained why one of her show’s highlights caused her to feel particularly emotional.

My dad would have been proud to have caught a large cod on my first try, she said. And watching sea eagles closely affected my emotional state.

I enjoyed getting to know the Sami people and their customs. And yes, I’ve gotten goat massage all the time!

Fans will see her in a “very different” way, according to Lorraine, who revealed how the show differs from her morning chat show.

She added to Closer Magazine, “It’s just me, no make-up, hair all over the place, and occasionally a little sweary!”

I’ve always wanted to do a travel show, so I finally had to jump in the cold water and help muck out a farm.

Lorraine will meet people along her travels who are preserving the rich history of Norway through folktales and Nordic tales, and she will also get a chance to taste the regional produce and specialties.

The TV personality plans to travel north along the coast to experience the beauty of the region’s natural ecosystem, including whales and eagles, in hopes that her journey will culminate with an aurora borealis spectacle.

Lorraine’s new venture comes as her ITV show’s major overhaul approaches. The program will air fewer episodes and be shorter, as part of a scheduling change.

The shake-up also impacts other morning shows, with Good Morning Britain extended by 30 minutes and Loose Women continuing on a seasonal basis without a live audience.

Reflecting on the changes, Lorraine previously told Woman magazine: “It’s a different world we live in, isn’t it?

Because I believe in reality, I was aware of the need for adjustments and reductions. Television must cut its own slack in every department because there are now so many more outlets. It’s not what it once was.

The mother-of-one maintains optimism about what the future holds despite the restructuring.

Who knows what will happen in six months, she said, “This is just another change.” They might want to expand, but they might not. Who is aware?

We just let it go and see what happens because I love my job and I love working with these incredible people. Nothing can ever remain motionless.

Meanwhile, Lorraine has turned her talents to writing in recent years, releasing her debut novel, The Island Swimmer, in 2024. In recent interviews, she has confirmed that more writing projects are on the way. Over the festive period, she also stood in for Jeremy Vine to present his BBC Radio 2 show.
