A Nashville judge finalized Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce on January 6, 2026, about three months after Kidman filed in September 2025. The court-approved arrangements covered custody and assets. The three-month interval is filing to final order—not a firmly established measure of how long the couple had been separated.
When was the divorce finalized?
Judge Stephanie J. Williams issued the divorce order at a hearing in Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, according to The Associated Press. The judge found the couple’s arrangements for assets and child custody sufficient and granted the dissolution. Kidman and Urban waived their right to appear.

The order cited “there exist such irreconcilable difference between the parties that would render continuation of the marriage impractical and impossible.” That is the court’s wording as quoted by AP.
Why did the order follow the filing by about three months?
Kidman filed in September 2025 after 19 years of marriage. AP reported that the legal issues involving assets and custody had been settled and signed on the filing date. Tennessee has a 90-day waiting period before a divorce involving minor children can take effect, as reported by ABC News Australia and AP. The waiting period helps explain the timing between filing and the January order.

When did they separate?
The filing-to-order timeline is clear, but the start of the couple’s private separation is less certain. E! News reported that the filing listed September 30, 2025, as the official separation date, while earlier reports described them as living apart since early summer. Those are different claims: a date recorded in a filing does not establish precisely when separate living arrangements began. The final order came about three months after the September filing, not necessarily three months after the beginning of their separation.
What did the reported custody and settlement terms say?
AP’s reporting on the court filings described the parenting plan and financial arrangements as follows:

- Parenting schedule: Kidman was named the primary residential parent, with 306 days per year with the daughters and 59 with Urban, according to AP’s report on the filing.
- Residence in the plan: The filings were reported to indicate that the daughters would remain based in Nashville. That describes the plan, not an independently established account of their current residence.
- Support: The reported filing said neither parent would need to pay child or spousal support.
- Assets: The settlement described a roughly equal division of joint assets. AP also reported that each retained assets held in their own name, including artistic copyrights and royalties.
ABC News Australia also reported the support and asset terms from the filings. These details are reported summaries of the documents, not a claim that every provision of the full court record has been independently reviewed.
How did the marriage begin?
Kidman and Urban met in Los Angeles in 2005 and married in Sydney in 2006, AP reported. Kidman described the pitfalls of idealizing a relationship at the 2024 premiere of The Perfect Couple, telling AP: “You’re heading for trouble if you consider yourselves the perfect couple,” and “I’m not a believer in perfect.”
