In a recent conversation with Variety, Nicole Kidman offered a rare glimpse into how she is navigating life after her divorce from Keith Urban, choosing gratitude and family unity over public commentary.
The actress spoke carefully about the past year, which saw the end of one of Hollywood’s most high profile marriages, while emphasizing that her focus remains firmly on her daughters and the life they continue to share.
Nicole Kidman Says Family Remains Her Priority After Divorce
The past year brought significant change for Kidman, but her outlook remains rooted in forward motion. Reflecting on how she is coping after the separation from Urban, the actor framed her mindset with a simple philosophy: “I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good.”

What anchors that perspective is family. Gratitude surfaced repeatedly as Kidman spoke about maintaining stability for the people closest to her. “What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward.” The comment underscored a desire to protect the structure of family life even as circumstances evolve.
There is also a firm boundary around what remains private. Kidman made clear that some matters are not meant for public discussion, emphasizing restraint and respect when it comes to personal details. As she put it, “Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect.”
When the conversation turned to her daughters, Kidman described the guiding principle that continues to shape their relationship: “We are a family, and that’s what we’ll continue to be.” Watching her children grow has brought its own sense of awe, something captured in her affectionate reflection on “my beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
Kidman and Urban first crossed paths in 2005 and married the following year in Sydney, building a nearly two decade partnership that became one of the industry’s most recognizable relationships. Their divorce was finalized in early 2026 with both agreeing to a parenting arrangement.
