Nicole Kidman is hogging the spotlight after opening up about her divorce from Keith Urban. For those unaware, the duo was married for 19 years and divorced at the beginning of this year, in January 2026.

Amid this, here’s a look at the subtle way Tom played a role in Nicole and Keith’s divorce.
Nicole Kidman went “into a spiral” during her divorce with Keith Urban
According to reports, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s split was pretty amicable, especially considering most celebrity divorces these days. Despite this, the actress’ prior divorce from her first husband, Tom Cruise, might have haunted her during the proceedings.
During the negotiations, a source for the Daily Mail had claimed that the biggest “sticking point” for Nicole was the “custody of Sunday and Faith.” Reports suggest that Nicole had been given primary custody of both their daughters for 306 days a year. On the other hand, Keith was only given 59 days. The source said that “Keith was initially asking for equal time with their daughters,” but Nicole was unhappy with the request and went “into a spiral.”
