Kidman filed for divorce in Nashville, where the couple has lived since 2007, on Tuesday, Sept. 30.
The pair were married in June 2006 after meeting at a gala in Los Angeles the year prior, and share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

The filing comes after a summer apart, as Kidman was filming Practical Magic 2 in London and Urban, 57, was traveling on his High and Alive World Tour.
Kidman and Urban often spoke about their bond in the press, with the actress telling PEOPLE in 2024 that she was “so lucky that I have Keith who’s just my love, my deep, deep love.”
Ahead of the 2024 Met Gala, Kidman added that she overcomes her nerves ahead of the annual event by “[having] my man with me.”
A second source told PEOPLE after the pair’s separation that their separation “really hasn’t been a secret,” and the stars have “been living separately for a while now.”
“People close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable,” the source added.
Reps for Kidman and Urban did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
The separation came just three months after Kidman celebrated the couple’s 19th wedding anniversary with a sweet Instagram post of the pair cuddling.
“Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban,” she captioned the post at the time.
