Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban 'separate after 19 years as they live apart'

Hollywood star Nicole Kidman and her country singer husband Keith Urban have reportedly split after 19 years of marriage.

According to TMZ, the couple have been living apart "since the beginning of summer". A source told the publication that Keith has "acquired his own residence in Nashville and moved out of their family home".

They also claimed that actress Nicole, 58, had been taking care of their two children and had been "holding the family together through this difficult time" since Keith, 57, had moved out. The Oscar winner has reportedly been trying to save their marriage.

The Mirror has reached out to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's representatives for comment.

Nicole and Keith married in 2006 after Nicole met the country singer the year before at the G'Day USA Gala. She later told Ellen DeGeneres in 2017: "I had such a crush on him, and he wasn't interested in me.

"It's true! He didn't call me for four months." However, Keith gushed in an interview with CBS News in 2016. "Meeting her and getting married wasn't life-changing, it was life-beginning."

After becoming engaged in May 2006, they wed in the St. Patrick's Estate in Sydney, Australia later that year. Shortly after marrying, Keith was checked into the Betty Ford Center to seek help for alcohol addiction.

He told Rolling Stone in 2014 that he was "very, very blessed" to have Nicole stage an intervention for him. He was released from rehab after three months and the couple moved to Nashville.

They welcomed their first daughter - Sunday Rose - in 2008 and had a second two years later - named Faith - via gestational surrogacy.

Before meeting Keith, Nicole married to fellow actor Tom Cruise from 1990 until 2001. The couple adopted daughter Bella in 1993 and son Connor a few years later.

Nicole and Keith's separation comes just months after the country singer revealed that he was forced to be away from his family due to his latest tour.

He told fans: “Looking out from a stage and seeing people singing, forgetting about all the stress in their lives, cutting loose, and feeling ALIVE- that’s what it’s about for me.

"Lots of hits, new songs, things we won’t even think about until we’re onstage and loads of guitar. We’re gonna make this tour the best night of your life!”

Meanwhile, he told Kelly Clarkson in a recent interview that Nicole hears "everything" he does. "Especially if I’m writing an album," he said.

"What I’ve learned is when I play her something, I’m obviously interested in her reaction, but I’m also really interested in how I feel when I’m playing it for her or anybody else. I’ve learned to trust my reaction much more."
