Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce is reportedly getting colder behind the scenes.
The former couple finalized their split in Australia in January after 19 years of marriage. Court papers reportedly named Kidman, 58, as the primary residential parent of their daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith, 15. Urban, also 58, was reportedly given 59 days a year with the girls.
Now, people close to Urban are allegedly accusing Kidman of making her new single-mother life look a little too perfect in public.
One insider claimed the actress is “rubbing her happy single parent life in his face,” while Urban is quietly dealing with the emotional fallout.
Nicole Kidman’s Custody Role Sparks Tension
The custody arrangement has become the center of the tension.
According to the reported court schedule, Kidman has the girls for 306 days a year. Urban’s time is reportedly limited to alternating weekends.
A source claimed Urban has stayed quiet in public and refused to attack Kidman, even though the arrangement has allegedly left him feeling cut out of daily family life. “He’s kept his side of the street clean and then some,” the insider said.
The court documents also included a mutual respect clause. Both parents agreed not to speak badly of each other or the other parent’s family. They also agreed to encourage their children to love both parents and feel comfortable in both homes.
The source claimed Urban signed the agreement because “it felt like the right thing to do,” but did not expect the outcome to feel this painful. “Never in a million years did he envisage any scenario this brutal,” the insider added.
Kidman’s Public Life With Her Daughters Draws Heat
The alleged frustration grew after Sunday Rose publicly praised Kidman in an interview, calling her mother “my biggest inspiration in life.”
Sunday has also been seen with Kidman at high-profile events, including Paris Fashion Week, the Met Gala, and Chanel’s pre-Oscar dinner. To people close to Urban, those appearances reportedly sting.
The insider claimed it hurts to see the girls “parading around with Nicole” and appearing to love their new life with her. The same source called Kidman’s public image a “calculated move,” though there is no proof that her outings with her daughters are meant to provoke Urban.
Social media also added fuel. Sunday reportedly unfollowed Urban on Instagram in April before later reversing it. Small move, big celebrity-family reaction.
Urban’s Radio Exit Added To The Awkwardness
Urban’s discomfort appeared to surface during an Australian radio interview, when a host asked about Kidman’s romantic scenes with Zac Efron in Netflix’s ‘A Family Affair’.
Urban suddenly dropped from the Zoom call. “He’s disconnected from Zoom,” a staff member was heard saying. His team did not comment at the time.
For now, Kidman is publicly moving forward with her daughters by her side. Urban’s camp claims he is hurting in silence. The rest is still source-driven, and nothing confirms Kidman is intentionally trying to hurt him.
