Nicole Kidman Solo Portugal Move Fuels Divorce Rumors With Keith Urban

The Oscar-winning actress’s solo move to secure a residential visa in Europe has sparked a wave of reports about a marital crisis with her husband of 19 years.

August 21, 2025: A recent revelation regarding Nicole Kidman‘s single application for Portuguese citizenship and her supposed purchase of a luxury residence has set off a flurry of divorce rumors with her husband, country music singer Keith Urban. But other insiders have come out to put an end to the rumors and give a more reasonable rationale for the star’s solo project.

Radar Online said that Kidman’s choice to go ahead with the residence application without Urban was a “bold signal that things are not good between them.” The source told the magazine that the actress is “set on building a whole other life in Europe” and that Urban “will not be a part of it.”

There were also separate, unproven claims on social media about an alleged cheating incident between Urban and singer Kelsea Ballerini, which have been generally rejected as false gossip.

People Magazine and other sources, on the other hand, have given a different view. A friend of the couple said that Urban couldn’t attend the immigration sessions in person since he was busy with his “High and Alive World Tour.” The source said that he “is scheduled to submit his application at a later date” and that the fact that he moved by himself was not a hint of problems in his marriage.

The couple has been married for 19 years and has two daughters. Because of their jobs, they have had to deal with long-distance relationships for a long time. Reports say that Kidman wants to live alone because she wants to be closer to her oldest daughter, Bella, who lives in London, which would make it easier for her to travel throughout Europe.

People close to the pair say that their relationship is strong and that the speculations about their divorce are just a result of their busy and complicated schedules. Friends of the couple were allegedly “stunned” by the rumors.
