**Nicole Kidman “Exhausted and Traumatized” Amid Marriage Collapse with Keith Urban**
*Published: October 2, 2025 | 8:12 p.m. ET*
Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman is reportedly “exhausted and traumatized” as she navigates family life in Nashville following the collapse of her 19-year marriage to country star Keith Urban, sources tell RadarOnline.com.
### Holding the Family Together Alone
The 58-year-old actress and the 57-year-old musician separated this week, ending months of speculation. Friends reveal that Kidman has been left to care for their two daughters — Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14 — while Urban continues his *High and Alive* world tour across the United States.
A source close to Kidman shared:
*”Nicole has taken on everything for the children while Keith is away. She’s keeping things together, but it has left her drained and overwhelmed – she is basically exhausted and traumatized.”*
### Years of Conflicting Schedules
The split follows years of conflicting work schedules. Urban has been on the road for much of 2025, while Kidman spent the summer in London filming *Practical Magic 2*. During that time, Kidman rented a Hampstead mansion once owned by Boy George, reportedly paying over $87,000 a month.
Urban was notably absent and has acquired his own residence in Nashville, moving out of the family’s $4 million compound.
Another insider commented:
*”Nicole and Keith created a base in Nashville for their family, but time apart only increased. With her working in London and him constantly touring, they ended up living separate lives.”*
### Grief Added to the Strain
The strain on their relationship deepened following the death of Kidman’s mother in September 2024. A source added:
*”They did make the effort to speak daily, but the distance since Nicole lost her mother has been stark. To those close to them, it looked like they had already gone their own ways.”*
Friends suggest Kidman is channeling her energy into caring for her children as a way to cope with the separation. One source revealed:
*”Nicole is concentrating on giving Sunday and Faith stability. She’s put them at the center of everything, even while balancing her career, and it’s been very hard on her.”*
### Signs of Separation Were Already There
Speculation about the state of their marriage intensified in July when Kidman applied for permanent residency in Portugal without Urban. At the time, this was described as a practical move due to her work commitments in Europe. However, in hindsight, it signaled their growing separation.
Kidman and Urban married in 2006 in Sydney and soon became one of the entertainment industry’s most prominent couples. Yet, they have faced challenges. Shortly after their wedding, Urban entered rehab for drug and alcohol addiction.
Reflecting last year, Urban acknowledged:
*”We got married in 2006, and barely four months into our marriage, the addictions that I had done really nothing about blew our marriage to smithereens.”*
### Affection Remains Despite Differences
Despite their differences, sources insist that affection between Kidman and Urban remains. A source close to the family shared:
*”The love was there, but their paths were pulling them apart. Divorce isn’t certain, yet they are no longer operating as a couple.”*
Kidman herself has spoken openly about the complexities of marriage. While promoting her Netflix series *The Perfect Couple* last year, she confessed:
*”There’s no perfect anything – anything that’s presented as perfect… forget it.”*
As Kidman focuses on her children and career, the future of their relationship remains uncertain. For now, she is reportedly striving to maintain stability for her family amidst the emotional turmoil.
