The parenting plan was signed before the filing
AP reported that Urban signed the plan on August 29, 2025, and Kidman signed it on September 6. The dates establish that the written agreement predated the filing; they do not establish either person’s motives or the precise history of the relationship.
What did the reported parenting plan say?
According to AP’s account of the plan, Kidman was named the primary residential parent, with the children scheduled to spend 306 days a year with her and 59 days with Urban. The report said the children had lived in Nashville and the documents gave no indication that would change. These figures describe the schedule reported from the plan, not the full details of the family’s private arrangements.

What did the filings report about support and assets?
AP reported that the filing said neither parent needed child or spousal support and described a roughly equal division of joint assets. Each would retain assets in their own name, including copyrights and royalties from artistic work. This is AP’s account of the documents, not a complete inventory of either person’s finances. In its January report, AP said the judge found the asset and custody settlements sufficient to grant the divorce.
When was the divorce finalized?
A Nashville judge dissolved the marriage on January 6, 2026, after finding the parties’ custody and asset settlements sufficient. AP reported that both Kidman and Urban waived the right to appear at the hearing. Judge Stephanie J. Williams’s wording, as reproduced by AP from a court filing, was that “there exist such irreconcilable difference between the parties that would render continuation of the marriage impractical and impossible.” AP’s report on the decree noted that Tennessee requires at least a 90-day waiting period for a divorce involving minor children.

She expressed gratitude for her family and said she did not want to discuss further details. El País rendered her comments in English as: “I’m grateful for my family, for keeping it as it is, and for moving forward. That’s all.” It also reported her saying, “Out of respect, I don’t talk about anything else,” and that “we are a family.” Those English quotations are translations from El País’s Spanish-language coverage, not independently checked against an interview transcript.
