58-year-old Australian Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman and 57-year-old American country music superstar Keith Urban were rumored to have separated on September 30. On October 1, their divorce agreement documents were exposed. Nicole filed for divorce on September 30, citing 'irreconcilable differences.' The documents detail the division of marital assets, alimony, and custody arrangements for their two underage daughters.
It is reported that when the couple married in 2006, they signed a prenuptial agreement stating that Keith would receive $900,000 (about MYR 3.78 million) for each year of marriage, and upon divorce could expect to get $17.1 million (about MYR 71.97 million) of Nicole’s assets. However, according to the divorce documents, neither party will pay any alimony to the other, with both permanently waiving any claims for support or maintenance. In addition, they will co-parent their two daughters, Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14). Nicole is seeking to become the 'primary custodial parent,' proposing the children live with her for 306 days of the year, and with their father for 59 days.
As for asset division, each will retain vehicles registered in their own name, while furniture, décor, appliances, art, and other personal property will be divided by mutual agreement. They also specify that 'both parties will retain their own clothing, jewelry, and personal belongings, and the other party shall make no claims on these.'
Insiders revealed that Nicole initially wanted to save the marriage but became completely disheartened after 'feeling betrayed.' 'She really wanted to save the marriage and believed she could do it, but it now seems Keith had already moved on.' A friend bluntly said, 'This was a devastating blow for Nicole—she was completely shocked.' Currently, neither party’s management has responded to media inquiries.
It’s rumored that Keith has 'recently been making questionable decisions,' and had quietly set up his own place for a while, making those around them see the marriage was on the rocks. Friends close to Nicole said, 'It's not as simple as growing apart—Keith had his own ideas much earlier.' While the public generally saw them as a model couple, an insider revealed that the breakup hit Nicole like 'a bolt from the blue,' but for those around Keith, it seemed more like 'an inevitable ending.'
