Reactions poured in as the story spread. “I did not see this coming. They seemed so in love with each other,” one netizen posted. Another added, “With all those insane movies she’s been making lately Iam not surprised…”
Others were more emotional, saying, “Praying, they can work out their differences.” One heartbroken commenter simply remarked, “So sad for the children 💜.”
According to TMZ on September 29, 2025, the couple has been living apart since early summer, when sources say Urban quietly moved out of their Nashville home and into a separate residence.

The report paints a painful picture of a marriage unraveling — and not by mutual decision. As to why, a source claimed that Urban initiated the separation, and that Kidman did not want it, and has been trying to save the marriage.
She has been doing her best to keep things stable for the family since Urban left. Kidman is now living with their two children, aged 14 and 17.
The couple, who wed in 2006, were frequently seen showing affection at public events. No divorce filings have been made, but the future of the marriage remains uncertain.
