Fans have turned on Keith Urban after it was revealed he has split from his wife of 19 years, Nicole Kidman. The New Zealand-born singer, 57, was inundated with comments on his Instagram, with a slew of admirers begging him to reunite with his 58-year-old actress wife. Recent posts have been utterly swamped with fans sharing their grief over the breakup.

‘Are you crazy? Nicole is a total babe. You should be so lucky to have a gorgeous legend A-lister,’ wrote one person. ‘I’m sorry, but Keith was never the perfect husband for me; Nicole cried over him more than once. And confusing her films with their lives is simply absurd. Nicole, I’m rooting for you,’ said another. Someone else chimed in: ‘Try and work it out. The grass is not greener on the other side. Your kids will be badly affected by it.’

‘Sorry, you lost the greatest thing to ever happen to you,’ yet another commented. ‘Work on your marriage!!! Don’t give up. You have children!!!’ insisted someone else. ‘Go back to your wife and work things out! Marriage is hard! I have been married 55 years! Nothing is worth breaking up your marriage! Your daughters will never feel the same about you!’ one fan penned. ‘Pleaseeee don’t leave your wife and break up your family,’ begged another, while one more said, ‘Please save your family.’

‘Nicole saved your life and this is how you repay her?’ asked one admirer, with someone else adding, ‘Don’t give up on your marriage. 19 years that is to be celebrated!’ Others shared messages of support, with several standing by the country crooner. ‘Keep on keeping on Keith. You’re a great performer,’ wrote one fan, with someone else saying, ‘Do what you feel is right! Don’t take advice from others!’ Someone else added: ‘Sending you and Nicole love in this difficult time.’

It comes after news that Urban may pocket more than $17 million following his shock separation from Kidman – thanks to a prenuptial clause tied to his sobriety. Keith reportedly signed an agreement with the actress before their 2006 wedding, which awards him $900,000 for every year of marriage, according to Radar Online . However, the contract comes with a ‘Cocaine Clause’ which states Urban is only eligible for the money if he steered clear of drugs and alcohol across their marriage. During their 19-year marriage, the former power couple accumulated a massive property portfolio worth a reported $282 million .

Urban has long been open about his past struggles with addiction . In a 2010 interview with Oprah Winfrey, he recalled how Nicole staged an intervention just months after their wedding. ‘She made a decision to turn around and initiate ultimately this intervention. It was done in such a way that the love in that room at that moment was just right. I was like, “Put the cuffs on, let’s go”,’ he said. He said the intervention saved his life and marked the start of his long road to sobriety – all with Kidman by his side.

The couple, who have daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, have been living apart since early summer. Urban moved out of their Nashville mansion while on a music tour, while Kidman stayed behind with the kids and juggled a busy filming schedule in London, renting a lavish mansion for $87,000 a month while shooting the Practical Magic sequel.

Sources say the split grew more noticeable after the death of Nicole’s mother in September 2024: ‘It’s like they both went their separate ways,’ an insider told Woman’s Day . Their last public appearance together, at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 match in June, hinted at tension.

Despite the split, sources suggest a reunion is still possible – though their busy schedules keep them apart. Urban continues to tour, while Nicole balances family life with her filming commitments.
