Nicole Kidman has opened up about a "quiet" year following the end of her nearly two-decade marriage to country star Keith Urban, saying she is "grateful for family" after her divorce.
The pair filed for divorce in September last year after 19 years of marriage and share two daughters — Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15.
In a cover interview with Variety, the Oscar-winning actress confessed she largely kept out of the spotlight in 2025 while dealing with personal matters.
"Last year, I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell," Kidman said.
"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. That’s that."
Kidman added she preferred not to discuss details publicly out of respect for those involved.
"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."
Kidman and Whangārei-born Urban met in 2005 at the G'Day USA Gala in Los Angeles and married in June 2006.
Over the years they became one of Hollywood’s most high-profile couples, frequently supporting each other at film premieres, concerts and awards ceremonies.
Kidman supported Urban through addiction struggles early in their marriage. The country singer entered rehabilitation shortly after their wedding and has previously credited her as being instrumental in his recovery.
Kidman has starred in countless Hollywood films throughout her career, including Moulin Rouge, Eyes Wide Shut, and The Hours — where her performance as Virginia Woolf saw her crowned Best Actress at the 2001 Academy Awards.
The actress is set for anther busy year professionally, set to star in Prime series Scarpetta and return for a third season of spy-thriller series Lioness.
