Nicole Kidman’s divorce from Keith Urban is shining a rare light on the couple’s finances and family arrangements after nearly two decades of marriage. Just one day after confirming their split, the Oscar-winning actress filed for divorce on September 30, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The filing included a detailed parenting plan covering custody of their daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, as well as disclosures of the couple’s monthly incomes.
According to documents obtained by E! News, both Kidman and Urban reported earning $100,000 each month. That number reflects Kidman’s continued financial success in recent years. Forbes ranked her the eighth highest-paid entertainer of 2024 and the top-earning actress.
The magazine credited her $31 million earnings to projects such as The Perfect Couple, Lioness, Expats, and films including Babygirl and A Family Affair. Despite their combined wealth, the couple’s divorce papers confirm that “no amount and/or form of alimony or spousal support” will be exchanged.
Both also agreed not to provide child support, with official documents listing the total amount required for childcare as zero dollars. When it comes to custody, Kidman requested to be named the “primary residential parent.” Under the agreement, Sunday and Faith will spend 306 days of the year with their mother and 59 with Urban. Both parents signed off on the arrangement before the filing.
While Kidman reportedly worked to preserve the marriage, sources told E! News that Urban ultimately made the decision to end the relationship. The couple had been living apart since early summer, and their official separation followed 19 years together.
Kidman and Urban, both 57, were long regarded as one of Hollywood’s most enduring couples, often praised for keeping their family life relatively private despite global fame. Their split marks the end of a high-profile marriage that balanced Kidman’s acclaimed acting career with Urban’s success as a country music star.
The divorce documents show that even as the couple parts ways, they are aligned in keeping financial and parenting matters straightforward. No disputes over support, custody, or money appear to complicate the proceedings, a rare outcome for celebrity divorces of this scale.
For fans, the separation closes a chapter on one of entertainment’s most-watched partnerships. For Kidman and Urban, the filings make clear that while their marriage has ended, both remain focused on maintaining stability for their daughters as they begin life apart.
