Nicole Kidman has been carving out a new chapter in her life, and it’s happening across the Atlantic. The actress is fully immersed in filming the Practical Magic sequel, and she seems to be soaking in every bit of London. A vibe of a city far from her Hollywood roots. But one thing is noticeably missing from her life. Her husband, Keith Urban.
Over the past year, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have spent more time apart than ever before. Urban is busy touring across the U.S. and Canada, with a schedule booked solid through mid-October. While they reportedly keep in touch daily, the physical separation has grown longer and more frequent, giving both a taste of independent living.
This isn’t the couple’s usual routine. Friends suggest that since the passing of Kidman’s mother last year, their marriage has faced quiet but real strain. In July, Nicole reportedly applied for residency in Portugal. However, Keith’s name was nowhere to be found on the paperwork.
This change of life is fueling speculation that their lives together might be slowly crumbling. A longtime rule for the pair has been to never spend more than two weeks apart, yet recent months have challenged that commitment.
Distance Between Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman Raise Red Flags
Nicole Kidman appears to be settling comfortably into her life in Europe, enjoying the independence that comes with it. Meanwhile, Keith Urban’s attention remains on his music, traveling constantly and performing for fans across North America. What used to be temporary stretches apart now seems to have become their “new normal,” with each of them building routines in separate corners of the world according to Radar Online insiders.
An insider shared: “They do make a big effort to speak every day when they’re apart, but it’s quite shocking how much time they’ve spent apart since Nicole’s mother died last September. It’s like they both went their separate ways and now she’s getting comfortable in a dream home in London on the other side of the world.”
On the surface, both appear successful and content. Kidman is thriving on set, and Urban continues to draw crowds and acclaim with his music. But the combination of distance, mismatched schedules, and the comfort of separate lives raises questions.
Even the strongest couples can face challenges when long stretches apart and different priorities become a reality. Whether this time apart will strengthen their bond or quietly pull them further away remains unclear, leaving fans watching and wondering what the next chapter will hold for Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman.
