Keith Urban marked Nicole Kidman’s 59th birthday with an Instagram Stories message on Saturday, June 20, even as the couple’s separation and finalized divorce have already been reported.
Keith Urban didn’t let Nicole Kidman’s 59th birthday go by quietly.
On Saturday, June 20, the country star posted a birthday note on his Instagram Stories set against a purple-and-teal background. “Happy birthday, Nicole Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!,” wrote Urban, who is 58.
Kidman, 58, didn’t publicly respond to Urban’s message. Instead, on her day, she leaned into something more private and grounded—sharing a selfie from a nature hike. “Another trip around the sun ☀️💛,” Kidman captioned the photo. She also wrote, “Thank you for all the birthday love xx. #SummerSolsticeBaby.”.
The timing comes after reports that the two were no longer together. In September 2025, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that the couple had separated after nearly two decades of marriage. Kidman and Urban first met in 2005, four years after Kidman’s divorce from Tom Cruise. They were married for two decades before the separation was reported in September 2025.
Kidman’s own remarks since then have been measured. She told Interview in October 2025. “I’m hanging in there.” In March. she spoke to Variety about what she’s focusing on: “I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good. What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward,” Kidman said. “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.”.
She also emphasized that she had no intentions of leaving Nashville after the divorce. “We have our life here,” Kidman told the outlet. “I’m part of the city and community for 20 years. It’s my home. … We go away. I’m very close to my sister in Sydney, and all my nieces and nephews. My sister and I are a bit like the aunts in Practical Magic.”.
Their family life remains central even as the relationship changed. Kidman and Urban share daughters Sunday and Faith. Their divorce, as previously reported, was finalized earlier this year—in January—after nearly two decades together. In an earlier report on January 6. Us Weekly said court documents obtained showed the pair finalized their split in a Nashville court on Tuesday. January 6. and that neither party will pay alimony or spousal support. The paperwork also indicated that Kidman would be the primary parent of her and Urban’s two children.
Urban, meanwhile, has also been described as moving forward. A source told Us Weekly in October 2025 that Urban has been open with Kidman about where he stands. and that the divorce was “long time coming.” The source added that the two had “grown apart quietly over time. ” with the separation described as “more about acceptance than surprise.”.
Since then, Urban has leaned into music. Fellow country singer Russell Dickerson told Page Six at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March that Urban is “doing great” and “seemed in good spirits” after getting divorced. Dickerson said. “He’s always been focused on music. and so I think he’s just kind of doubling down on that. and it’s just beautiful. I can’t wait to hear what comes out of it.”.
For now, Kidman’s birthday hike and Urban’s Instagram message capture a moment that feels uncomplicated—even as everything around it has shifted.
