Country music star Keith Urban and actor Nicole Kidman have reportedly split after 19 years of marriage. The news came into focus recently when Urban was seen without his wedding ring during a performance in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
### Discontent Over ‘Babygirl’
Sources have revealed that one of the issues straining their relationship was Urban’s unhappiness with Kidman’s steamy romance drama, *Babygirl*, which was released in 2024. In the film, Kidman, 58, starred opposite 29-year-old Harris Dickinson in a storyline filled with explicit and intimate scenes.
An insider told Page Six, “Keith didn’t like the film and he didn’t even like Nicole promoting the movie.” Another source added that Urban was concerned about potential ridicule stemming from the film’s explicit content. This discomfort was apparent during an interview on Australia’s Mix 102.3 *Hayley & Max in the Morning*, where Urban abruptly ended the conversation when questioned about Kidman’s intimate scenes with younger men.
### Kidman’s Career and Commitment to Female Directors
Nicole Kidman is well-known for choosing roles that challenge societal norms and consistently highlights issues affecting women. Since 2017, she has vowed to work with a female director at least once every 18 months. Over the past eight years, she has collaborated with female directors 19 times, either as a producer or an actor. Notably, *Babygirl* was directed by Halina Reijn, further continuing Kidman’s commitment to working with women behind the camera.
### Meanwhile, Keith Urban’s Public Displays
Despite the rumors and media speculation surrounding their split, Urban appeared to show support for their family during his recent performance. He shared photos on the screen of their two daughters together—Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
However, Urban has remained tight-lipped about the swirling rumors linking him to his 25-year-old guitarist Maggie Baugh, who was noticeably absent from his recent show.
### Past Marriages and Family
While Keith Urban has only been married once, Nicole Kidman was previously married to Tom Cruise from 1990 until 2001. During her marriage to Cruise, she adopted two children, Connor and Isabella Jane.
As the situation continues to unfold, fans and followers await further updates on the future of this high-profile Hollywood and country music couple.
