1 october 2025 в 21:13
Nicole Kidman has built an impressive career as one of Hollywood’s most recognized actresses, starring in unforgettable films such as «Moulin Rouge», - «Cold Mountain», - «The Others», - and «Eyes Wide Shut». Away from the spotlight, her personal life often attracted as much attention as her career, with romances and marriages that kept her in the public eye for decades. From her high-profile marriage to Tom Cruise to her long-term marriage to Keith Urban, Nicole experienced love in many forms.
In the past, she emphasized the importance of nurturing relationships, telling PEOPLE magazine that lasting love comes down to a constant investment in what she and Keith called «us». But in September 2025, after nearly 20 years together, Nicole filed for divorce from the country musician, marking the end of an era in her love story.
Learn more about Nicole’s romantic history below.
Nicole was married to country star Keith, who, like her, hails from Australia. They first met at the G’Day USA Gala in Los Angeles in 2005 and exchanged numbers, although Keith only called her four months later. «I was so in love with him, and he wasn’t interested in me. It’s true!» Nicole joked to Ellen DeGeneres in 2017.
When Keith finally called, the couple started dating and quickly fell in love. They got engaged in May 2006, and Nicole confirmed the news at the 30th anniversary Gala of the United Nations Development Fund for Women, telling PEOPLE magazine, «He's actually my fiancé. I wouldn’t bring my boyfriend». A month later, on June 25, 2006, the couple married in Sydney, Australia, in a romantic ceremony where Keith sang his song «Making Memories of Us» to his bride.
Their marriage lasted nearly two decades, and although they faced challenges — including Keith’s struggle with addiction, during which Nicole organized an intervention — they often seemed inseparable and supported each other. The couple welcomed two daughters, Sunday Rose in 2008 and Faith Margaret in 2010, and regularly appeared together at premieres, concerts, and family events.
Before saying «yes» to Keith, Nicole was married to Tom. The former couple exchanged vows in 1990 after meeting on the set of «Days of Thunder». In 1992, they adopted their daughter Isabella immediately after her birth, and in 1995, they adopted their son Connor immediately after his birth.
Nicole and Tom often supported each other at various premieres of their films and even collaborated in «Eyes Wide Shut», - but by February 2001, Tom filed for divorce from Nicole. In his statement, he cited «irreconcilable differences» as the reason for their split, but former Scientologist Mike Rinder stated in 2022 that the church played a role in their breakup. He said they created «distance» between them and claimed that the Church of Scientology wiretapped Nicole’s phone to control her influence on Tom, who is one of the religion’s most important members.
The church denied Mike’s allegations in a statement in September 2022. «The church has never ordered or engaged in illegal wiretapping», - the statement read. «Mike Rinder is a pathological liar seeking to profit from his lies. He sustains himself by harassing his former Church and its leader through false police reports, instigative propaganda, and fraudulent media stories».
After her marriage to Tom and before her marriage to Keith, Nicole was secretly engaged to Lenny Kravitz in 2003. She confirmed the engagement when talking about working with his daughter, Zoe Kravitz, on the HBO series «Big Little Lies».
«Well, I knew Zoe because I was engaged to her father. It’s all in the family! I love Lenny; he’s a great guy», - she told Vanity Fair in 2017. «I'm engaged and getting married — that’s my business», - she joked.
