Fans were blindsided when news broke on Monday (Sept. 29) that Keith Urban<\/a> and Nicole Kidman<\/a> are separating<\/a>.<\/p>\n For nearly two decades, they’ve been one of country music’s most rock-solid couples. Gushing love tributes and adorable red carpet kisses have been a staple from these two throughout their marriage.<\/p>\n But in hindsight, there might have been a few telling clues this summer that Urban and Kidman’s marriage wasn’t doing well.<\/p>\n Read More<\/em>: Keith Urban + Nicole Kidman Separating After 19 Years of Marriage<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n In particular, there was one moment this summer that should have raised alarm bells. Maybe fans just didn’t want to believe that one of their favorite couples could be on the rocks.<\/p>\n Back in early July, Urban was in the middle of giving an interview to an Australian morning radio show when the hosts asked him a question about how he feels watching Kidman’s steamy on-screen moments with younger co-stars.<\/p>\n Urban replied, “Oh yeah, that’s a good one.”<\/p>\n Read More<\/em>: Keith Urban Interview Ends After Salacious Nicole Kidman Question<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n But then, the interview abruptly ended: Urban had been disconnected from the Zoom.<\/p>\n The show hosts thought Urban had left the Zoom because he was uncomfortable with the question.<\/p>\n A source later called the moment<\/a> a “nothingburger,” saying Urban doesn’t host his own Zooms and wasn’t the one that ended the call.<\/p>\n But in light of Urban and Kidman’s separation news, something about the exchange feels off.<\/p>\n Show co-host Hayley Peterson said in the initial show that Urban “doesn’t like talking about his wife.”<\/p>\n But our response to that would be:\u00a0Since when?<\/em>\u00a0Urban and Kidman have a long track record of being open about their marriage on social media, in interviews and during public events.<\/p>\n In early 2025, Urban recalled<\/a> how one conversation they had when they first started dating set the tone for their entire relationship.<\/p>\n Also this year, Kidman joked<\/a> that “a double-headed shower” was the secret to their longevity as a couple.<\/p>\n The couple celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary in June, and Kidman shared<\/a> a simple message for Urban: “Happy Anniversary Baby,” she wrote.<\/p>\n Urban responded with a simple red heart emoji. But he didn’t share an anniversary tribute of his own.<\/p>\n The post itself was sweet and simple\u00a0\u2014 but if you’ve been following this couple, you know this level of brevity is a little out of character for them.<\/p>\n For reference, check out Urban’s anniversary post from 2019<\/a>, when the singer described his marriage as “magic, music, romance, wild adventures, and the ongoing discovery of pure love.”<\/p>\n Or the time in 2018 when he celebrated Kidman’s birthday<\/a> by flipping his phone camera around at a show, and filming the entire crowd singing “Happy Birthday” to her.<\/p>\n The audience even sang Kidman’s name as “Baby Girl,” Urban’s nickname for her.<\/p>\n Historically, Kidman and Urban haven’t been people of few words when it comes to appreciating each other. So it could have been a red flag that their 19th anniversary tributes were so brief.<\/p>\n Sources say<\/a> that Urban and Kidman have been living separately since this summer, and they haven’t been seen publicly together much during that time.<\/p>\n The last photos of them together were taken on June 20, when they attended a Los Angeles Football Club match in Nashville, per\u00a0Page Six<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Related<\/strong><\/em>: 17 Shocking Breakups We Never Saw Coming<\/a><\/p>\n Last week, Kidman shared photos of herself <\/a>attending a Country Music Hall of Fame event that was a partnership with the Nashville Film Festival. She walked the red carpet solo.<\/p>\n That week, Urban was in Canada performing some dates on his High and Alive World Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n In August, Kidman shared some family vacation photos, and Urban was notably absent in the pictures.<\/p>\n Instead, Kidman was focused on their two children, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, who both make an appearance in the carousel post.<\/p>\n Also featured is her sister Antonia.\u00a0People<\/a><\/em> reported that Antonia has “been a rock” for Kidman amid her split from Urban.<\/p>\n Photos of Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, through their years.
