The separation was made official one day later when Kidman, 58, filed for divorce on September 30, in Nashville, Tennessee, where the couple has lived since 2007.<\/p>\n According to documents obtained by PEOPLE<\/a><\/em>, the actress cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for ending their 19-year marriage, listing the date of separation as the same day she filed the papers.<\/p>\n The drama surrounding the song’s new dedication has provided an unexpected glimpse into the tension leading up to the shocking divorce filing. Fans are questioning the timing and the intent behind Urban\u2019s decision to rewrite a song linked to his marital commitment, seemingly foreshadowing the end of an era for one of Hollywood and Nashville\u2019s longest-lasting power couples. One Redditor<\/a> commented, “this is unraveling fast.”<\/p>\n Next: Keith Urban Covered Loverboy\u2019s \u2018Turn Me Loose\u2019 Weeks Before Split With Nicole Kidman Was Announced<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 1, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
