Nicole Kidman Shares Father’s Day Tribute to Ex Keith Urban

One day after Keith Urban sent ex-wife Nicole Kidman a public birthday message, the actress shared a Father’s Day tribute to him.

“Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers,” Kidman, 59, wrote via Instagram Stories on Sunday, June 21, sharing a black-and-white throwback photo of Urban, 58, carrying the pair’s daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15, on his back.

The photo sat alongside a black-and-white snap of a young Kidman cuddling up to her late father, Antony Kidman, who died in 2014 at the age of 75.

Urban, whose divorce from Kidman was finalized in January, had just publicly wished his ex a happy 59th birthday, sharing a Saturday, June 20, Instagram Story that read, “Happy birthday, Nicole Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!” No photo was included in the singer’s Instagram Story.

Us Weekly confirmed earlier this year that the former couple, who were married for 19 years, finalized their divorce in a Nashville court on January 6. Us had confirmed on September 29, 2025 that Urban and Kidman had separated.

Kidman filed for divorce one day later, citing “irreconcilable differences” within her petition while requesting that she maintain “primary residential parent” of Sunday and Faith. (Kidman also shares two adult children, Connor and Bella, with ex-husband Tom Cruise.)

The divorce finalization noted that neither party would pay one another alimony or spousal support, and confirmed that Kidman will serve as the primary parent of their daughters. Additionally, no monthly child support is paid.

Kidman addressed her split from Urban during an October 2025 interview with Interview magazine, telling the outlet at the time that she was “hanging in there.”

In a March interview, the Scarpetta star expanded on her mindset following the split, telling Variety that she was putting her energy into moving on. “I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good. What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward,” Kidman said at the time. “That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”

The interview also discussed how Kidman will remain in Nashville, where she had initially settled with Urban. “We have our life here,” she told Variety. “I’m part of the city and community for 20 years. It’s my home [and] we go away. I’m very close to my sister in Sydney [Australia], and all my nieces and nephews.”

As for Urban, an exclusive source told Us in October 2025 that the musician was similarly looking forward. “Keith has moved on and has been open with Nicole about where he stands,” the insider said at the time, adding the pair’s divorce was a “long time coming” after they “had grown apart quietly over time.”

The source stated, “The decision to separate was more about acceptance than surprise.”
