Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban headed for divorce after 19 years of marriage

Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce from Keith Urban, ending one of Hollywood’s longest high-profile marriages, People magazine reported. The filing came just a day after news broke that the actress and the country singer had quietly separated following 19 years together. The pair got married in June 2006, one year after meeting at a gala in Los Angeles. They share two daughters - Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

A source told People that Kidman, 58, “didn’t want this,” and had been “fighting to save the marriage.” The insider added that “Nicole’s sister (Antonia) has been a rock and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another.”

The couple spent much of this past summer living separate lives. Kidman was in London filming Practical Magic 2, while Urban, 57, was on the road with his High and Alive World Tour. That distance, sources told People, only underscored problems that had already been brewing.
