After 19 years of marriage, Nicole Kidman (58) and Keith Urban (57) have decided to separate. A piece of news that has undoubtedly shaken the entertainment world's foundations, as they seemed one of the most consolidated couples. From this union that has fueled the tabloids so much, two daughters were born, Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14), who have always been protected from gossip.
It was the TMZ portal that published the exclusive by stating that the actress and the singer have been living separately since early this summer. According to the data handled by this media, it seems that the decision has been unilateral on Keith's part, as Nicole, according to a source close to the family, "did not want this. She has been fighting to save the marriage."
Since they met in January 2005 at the G'Day USA gala in Los Angeles, both have generated a substantial fortune that, in case of divorce, is expected to cause some issues, as they have properties in the United States and Australia concerning the laws of both countries. At that time, the actress was much more famous than him and, in fact, she still is, although the country artist has risen in popularity.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the star of Babygirl (2024) has a fortune of 250 million dollars from her work in film and television, her contracts with brands, and attendance at different events, while the interpreter of Somebody Like Youhas a fortune of 75 million dollars thanks to composition, albums, concerts, and royalties.
Just to give an idea of the Australian actress's business volume, Forbes considered her the highest-earning actress in 2024 with a total of 31 million dollars; for the movie The Prom (2020) on Netflix, she pocketed 10 million dollars, for Big Little Lies (2017-2019) she received 250,000 dollars per episode for the first season, but for the second, her salary rose to one million per episode. The actress holds an advertising record according to the World Guinness of Records, as in 2003 she filmed the longest commercial in history for Chanel No. 5 for which she earned 928,000 dollars per minute, with a duration of four minutes... do the math.
Such a level of wealth has allowed the Urban-Kidman family to invest in a truly enviable real estate portfolio, as they own various properties in the United States and Australia worth hundreds of millions of dollars. American, British, and Australian media have echoed these possessions, among which stand out in the United States a five-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills purchased for 6.7 million dollars; in 2010, they acquired a duplex in the Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan for 13.5 million, and ten years later they invested in another apartment in Tribeca for 3.5 million, and of course, they have a 20-room mansion purchased in 2008 in Nashville, the heart of country music, with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms for which they paid 4.9 million dollars.
In Australia, between 2009 and 2023, the couple acquired six apartments in the exclusive Landmark Latitude complex in Milsons Point - facing the Sydney Opera House - for a total amount of 27.5 million dollars. In one of them, they held an unforgettable New Year's Eve party in 2023. They also have a 6.5 million dollar farm called Bunya Hill in Sutton Forest, New South Wales.
