Nicole Kidman files for divorce from Keith Urban

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have been married since 2006

Nicole Kidman has filed for a divorce from Keith Urban.

The 58-year-old actress has filed for a divorce shortly after news broke that the celebrity couple - who have daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, together - had separated after 19 years of marriage, People reports.

A source previously insisted to People that Nicole "didn't want this" and that the Hollywood star - who was married to Tom Cruise between 1990 and 2001 - was still "fighting to save the marriage".

The insider added at the time: "Nicole’s sister [Antonia] has been a rock and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another."

Nicole filed a divorce after the celebrity duo spent the summer in different parts of the world, with the actress filming Practical Magic 2 in London, while Keith was on his High and Alive World Tour.

Meanwhile, Nicole previously admitted that she missed her family while filming Expats in Hong Kong.

The acclaimed actress shot the TV mini-series in Asia amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and Nicole subsequently revealed that she struggled to deal with the restrictions and the absence of her family.

Nicole - who has been married to Keith since 2006 - told Extra: "I was missing my kids and my husband.

"We loved Hong Kong, we were able to shoot really in the city, everything in there is authentic.

"I would climb seven flights of stairs to shoot in the little apartment. We would just kind of hustle, it felt like we were doing a small film even though it was such an enormous undertaking and we got to see Hong Kong, which was gorgeous."

Prior to that, Nicole admitted that her performance was affected by the COVID restrictions in Hong Kong and the absence of her husband and kids.

She told the Guardian newspaper: "I was alone in Hong Kong without my family, which was a terrible mistake. I couldn’t just get on a plane and get to them. And they couldn’t get to me. That affected the performance, to the degree that it also affected my psyche."
