What Did Keith Urban Say to Nicole Kidman?
On June 20, Urban shared a birthday greeting to Kidman on his Instagram Stories.
"Happy birthday, Nicole Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!," he wrote over a blue and purple background on Saturday, June 20. The actress turned 59 years old.
Kidman did not reply to Urban's message. Instead, she included a picture of him in a Father's Day post. In the image, he is giving a piggyback ride to their two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. Above the image is a childhood photo of Kidman and her dad.
"Happy Father's Day to all the fathers," she wrote in the caption.
What Led to the Divorce?
Kidman and Urban announced their separation in September. Kidman cited their 19-year marriage was ending over irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized in January this year.
Kidman and Urban waived any spousal and child support. They kept their own assets, suggesting the couple had a prenuptial agreement.
Kidman reportedly has primary custody of the girls, but she and Keith Urban still co-parent them. The children will spend only 59 days a year with Urban. Both parents will jointly make major decisions about education and health care.
According to a source, the girls are very close and protective of Kidman. However, they "have a relationship with their dad, too. The family dynamic is much more normal than people assume."
"What I'm grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward," said Kidman. "That's that. Everything else I don't discuss out of respect. I'm staying in a place of, 'We are a family,' and that's what we'll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women."
Urban is reportedly struggling with the distance between him and his family. He is optimistic about his relationship with his children, even as those dynamics have significantly shifted.
