Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman and country singer Keith Urban have ended their 19-year marriage, sources reported on Monday. The couple, who share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, have reportedly drifted apart due to their demanding careers and a growing lack of intimacy.

“Keith never sees Nicole, either she is filming or he is on tour,” a source has revealed. “There was a lot of love between the two and they might not divorce. They’ve been together for decades, so there is a world in which they can reconcile, but the way their pairing is now, they are not a couple.”

According to insiders, Urban initiated the separation, citing unhappiness in the marriage. “The intimacy isn’t 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’t happy,” the source added to Daily Mail.

Kidman was reportedly “blindsided” by Urban’s decision, though friends say the couple may attempt to work on their relationship over the holiday season and Urban’s upcoming birthday.

Since the split, Kidman has reportedly been staying in Nashville with the children, maintaining family stability while Urban continues his High and Alive World Tour, which began in May.

He is scheduled to perform in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on Thursday. TMZ reported that Urban has moved out of the couple’s $4 million Nashville compound and into a separate residence.

Sources also claimed the couple’s increasing time apart following the death of Kidman’s mother last September. “They do make an effort to speak every day when they’re apart, but it is shocking how much time they’ve spent apart,” an insider told Woman’s Day.

Glimmers of tension between the pair could be seen publicly in recent months as the pair have not been seen together in public since the beginning of the year, and in July, Urban ended a radio interview abruptly after a question about Kidman’s recent film roles.

Kidman, meanwhile, has spoken openly about the challenges of marriage, telling the cast of her Netflix series The Perfect Couple in September 2024: “There’s no perfect anything. Anything that’s presented as perfect… forget it.”

Kidman and Urban met at the G’Day USA Gala in 2005, became engaged in May 2006, and married later that year in Sydney.

Shortly after the wedding, Urban entered rehab for alcohol addiction, crediting Kidman with staging the intervention. “I was very, very blessed to have Nicole stage an intervention for me,” he told Rolling Stone in 2014.

Despite the separation, both are said to be continuing to support each other privately, according to reports from TMZ.

Urban recently described seeking Kidman’s feedback on his music, telling Kelly Clarkson: “What I’ve learned is when I play her something, I’m obviously interested in her reaction, but I’m also really interested in how I feel when I’m playing it for her or anybody else. I’ve learned to trust my reaction much more.”

A video of Keith Urban reflecting on his struggles with addiction and the early days of his marriage to Nicole Kidman has resurfaced following news of the couple’s separation.

On Monday, it was reported that the Oscar-winning actress, 58, and the country singer, 57, have ended their 19-year marriage. The couple, who share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, have reportedly spent increasing time apart due to busy filming and touring schedules.

Urban and Kidman both publicly acknowledged how their relationship had almost been ruined by their addictions during the resurfaced video that was shot during the AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute in June 2024.

He said, “We married in 2006, and just four months into our marriage, the addictions that I had no choice but to deal with blew our marriage to pieces.” I’m in rehab for three months after we got married, and I have no idea what would happen.

Urban attributed Kidman’s assistance in surviving that challenging time to Urban. Every negative voice was pushed in by Nic. She chose love, I’m sure of her own, and she did it. 18 years later, we are right here tonight. No one I’ve ever met has the ability to love like that.

Kidman’s emotional confession to her husband’s emotional confession caught her eye as she watched him wring a tear away during the speech.

The singer has openly acknowledged his long-term struggle with alcohol and drugs. He claimed to have had Nic intervened on me in 2016 and that he was “very, very blessed.” My new marriage sank because of my careless choices.

He later referred to the transformative impact of the Oprah Winfrey-led intervention. He said at the time, “The love in that room was just right.” To witness that kind of love in action That was unlike anything I’d ever gone through.

Urban acknowledged in 2021 that he had compared everything to his father because of his drinking. However, I finally made the wise choice that my father would have made in life.

Even after achieving sobriety, Urban has occasionally sparked tension with comments about his past. A recent remark comparing Ariana Grande’s single We Can’t Be Friends to “audible heroin” reportedly upset Kidman, with a source telling Woman’s Day that it “brought back a very dark time for them when they almost split.”

Friends say the couple has grown increasingly apart due to professional commitments in recent months and is the reason behind their split. “Keith never sees Nicole, either she is filming or he is on tour. There was a lot of love between the two and they might not divorce, but there is a world that they both live where neither of them are in it,” a source told TMZ.

The insider also claimed that since Urban moved out of their home, Kidman had been “holding the family together through this difficult time” and had been taking care of their two children. According to reports, the Oscar winner has been attempting to save their union.

Nicole met the country singer at the G’Day USA Gala the year before, and the former couple got married in 2006. In 2017, she later admitted to telling Ellen DeGeneres, “I had such a crush on him, and he wasn’t interested in me.”

” It’s true! For four months, he called me. Keith gushed about it in a 2016 interview with CBS News. It was a life-beginning, not a life-changing experience meeting her and getting married.

After becoming engaged in May 2006, they wed in the St. Patrick’s Estate in Sydney, Australia later that year. Shortly after marrying, Keith was checked into the Betty Ford Center to seek help for alcohol addiction.

In 2026, Boyzone are scheduled to play a massive one-time performance.

On Saturday, June 6, the group will take to the stage in London. All former band members who haven’t performed together in a while are expected to be a part of the reunion.

During the show, Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Keith Duffy, and Shane Lynch will all pray in honor of their late friend, Stephen Gately.

The documentary Boyzone: No Matter What was successful on Sky, and the announcement comes after that.

Boyzone stated in a statement to The Sun: “We’ve been truly blown away and humbled by the response to the documentary this year.

We created the ultimate experience together by performing our own stadium show in response to the fans’ love we’ve received from all over the world. The four of us look forward to returning to One For the Road to share a smile.

The group split up in 2000 as its members continued to pursue independent careers before reuniting in 2007. Boyzone did not play on stage since performing their 2018 and 2019 farewell tours on Thank You and Goodnight.

Ronan Keating made a comeback earlier this year when he claimed the band’s surviving members were discussing reuniting after the success of a Sky documentary mini-series.

Keating said, “We’ve been talking about our story for the past 30 years, and we felt like that was kind of it, that maybe that was the end of the story.” She said, “The reaction was unbelievable.

We’ve all been conversing over the past few weeks, and I believe Boyzone might try to do something in 2026.

The band posted a picture of the band with the words “the journey continues” in a series of Instagram posts following the interview, and they also urged fans to sign up for a mailing list.

Mills asked Keating how his bandmates were getting along, and he responded, “They’re really great… After the documentary, the reaction was unbelievable, even people who weren’t Boyzone fans were contacting me and telling me, “I had no idea.”

He continued, “British Airways had it on the plane (to England) in the documentary section, and it was really awkward, I had to cover myself with a blanket.”

Boyzone is renowned for songs like Love Me For A Reason, Words, and No Matter What, and has six UK number one singles and five UK number one albums.

Gately passed away on October 10, 2009, at the age of 33, at his home in Majorca. Officials at the inquest into the singer’s death told the jury that he had a pulmonary oedema, or a lungs’ buildup, that ultimately led to respiratory failure.

Boyzone are set to reunite for a huge one-off gig in 2026.

The group will take to the stage in London on Saturday June 6. The reunion is set to include all original members of the band who have not performed together in years.

Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch are also set to pray tribute to their late friend Stephen Gately during the show.

The announcement comes after the success of documentary Boyzone: No Matter What on Sky.

In a statement to The Sun: Boyzone said: “We’ve been truly blown away and humbled by the response to the documentary this year.

“The love we’ve felt from fans all over the world has inspired us to create the ultimate experience together, headlining our own stadium show. The four of us can’t wait to stand together again and enjoy One For The Road.”

The group first broke up in 2000, as their members went on to pursue solo careers, before reuniting in 2007. Boyzone performed their Thank You And Goodnight farewell tour between 2018 and 2019 and have not returned to the stage since.

Earlier this year, Ronan Keating teased a comeback as he said the success of a Sky documentary mini-series about the band prompted the surviving members to discuss reuniting.

Speaking on the Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2, Keating said: “The reaction was unbelievable, so we’ve obviously been talking about our story for the last 30 years, and we felt like that was kind of it, that maybe that was the end of the story.

“And well, we’ve all been chatting over the last few weeks, and I think 2026 might be a year for Boyzone to maybe try and do something.”

Following the interview, the band made a series of posts on their Instagram page with a picture of the band and the words “the journey continues”, and urged fans to sign up to a mailing list.

Gately died of natural causes at the age of 33 on October 10 2009 at his holiday home in Majorca. At an inquest into his death, officials told the court that the singer suffered a pulmonary oedema, or a build up of fluid in the lungs, which ultimately results in respiratory failure.

As the 65-year-old Strictly Come Dancing judge spoke about her breakup with toyboy fiance Danny Taylor, she continued to share her thoughts on relationships.

Shirley Ballas has opened up on her split from toyboy lover Danny Taylor with a blunt message. The Strictly Come Dancing judge, 65, has recently called off her long-term engagement to the 52-year-old, and claimed she has given up in her quest for love.

The dancing star’s most recent marriage ended in divorce. In November of this year, Danny and Shirley called it quits on their relationship, and she has since admitted that she struggles to hold down a man because of her “married” to dance.

She explained that she was obsessed with her career and that she had potential flaws as a result of her love of it. Therefore, I don’t just have a job. It’s my husband and I are.”

She then admitted, “I don’t believe I’m brought up on Planet Earth to date.” Every relationship has ended in disaster. I believed I had found The One with my previous boyfriend, but that also wasn’t effective.

Earlier in the month, Shirley admitted she felt lonely, but doesn’t intend to walk down the aisle again. She first wed Sammy Stopford back in 1980.

The pair’s professional Latin dancing position was at the top of the world. However, they parted ways in 1984 when Corky Ballas, an American dancer, and Shirley started collaborating. Before introducing son Mark in 1986, Shirley and Corky exchanged vows 12 months later.

However, things didn’t work out, and Shirley says she now prefers dating someone who is at least 13 years her junior after her most recent failed love affair with Danny.

In her autobiography, Best Foot Forward, Shirley states that she wants her future spouse to be “completely unattached” and “financially independent.”

And it comes after she admitted to feeling “lonely” at times when she admitted she had tried unsuccessfully to join the elite dating site Raya. She stated, “I think my “toyboy” days are over, but the age bracket I’ve chosen is fairly broad but not too young.”

If they are fit, I believe they will be able to get to 55 to 70. If they are loaded, up to 98. Just being facetious.

She continued, “I can tell you that I won’t marry again.” I’ve experienced too many disasters to list, but I’ve already done so. Call me cynical, but I find it hard to believe anything will ever be the same.

But she did acknowledge that being single was bad. She said, “I miss the intimacy, the affection, and the little squeezes.”

She then stated, “I get lonely. I’m sorry, but I can still feel lonely in the most crowded room, I assure you.
