It was a night of a thousand stars, but one had a true twinkle in her eye.
Nicole Kidman attended the Oscars on Sunday alone and proudly so.
At the Vanity Fair afterparty, Nicole Kidman shone in a stunning gold Chanel gown, even managing to steal the spotlight from Jeff Bezos, one of the world’s wealthiest men – playfully following behind him with a laugh. She looked radiant, joyful, and completely confident. Variety magazine recently featured her on their Oscars cover, calling it ‘The year of Nicole’ and highlighting her captivating presence.
Just before the awards ceremony, 58-year-old Nicole Kidman, a brand ambassador for Chanel, was the center of attention at a party hosted by the French fashion house. She was joined by her daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith, 15.
When Variety asked what her evening held, Kidman said she and her daughters planned a quiet night in – baths and bedtime. But with a playful grin, she hinted she might actually head out to a party or two, saying she probably should.
Meanwhile, five thousand miles away, Nicole Kidman’s former husband was also receiving attention, though he appeared much sadder.
Keith Urban performed at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday night as the main act for Country to Country, the UK’s largest country music festival. However, he didn’t seem as happy as his former wife, Nicole Kidman.
‘We’re here to friggin’ forget about our lives outside of this arena,’ he told the crowd.
And well he may want to.
In September, after 19 years of marriage, 58-year-old Urban abruptly ended things with Kidman, effectively ending their relationship.
According to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail, Nicole Kidman was completely surprised by her husband’s decision to end their marriage. She was especially hurt that he suggested her career had contributed to the split. Friends of the actress also told the Daily Mail that she had been working hard to try and save the relationship, and didn’t want a divorce.
Sources say Urban seemed to enjoy being single during the fall, and wasn’t lacking in female companionship.
Rumors circulated about a close relationship between Keith Urban and singer Karley Scott Collins, but neither he nor his wife, Nicole Kidman, addressed whether those rumors were true. Collins herself stated that nothing inappropriate had happened.
Despite previously seeming calm, Urban now appears to be struggling without his family, according to a recent report in New Idea magazine, which says he feels ‘lost’ without them.
And source now tells the Daily Mail that the former couple are not even speaking.
According to sources, Urban is reportedly experiencing a midlife crisis and has changed significantly in recent months.
According to a source, Nicole and Keith have been struggling with communication. Their relationship deteriorated significantly and hasn’t improved since.
Since their breakup, Keith has been acting very differently – almost like he’s trying to rediscover himself. It’s a big change, and she feels like she doesn’t even recognize him anymore.
While Nicole Kidman celebrated at the Oscars on Sunday, her husband Keith Urban was upset in London. According to New Idea magazine, Urban was particularly distressed by a recent interview his daughter, Sunday Rose, had given.
The young model, who walked the runway for Dior in Paris last October and Calvin Klein in New York last month, credited her mother with inspiring her creativity and strong work ethic in an interview with Elle Australia. She didn’t mention her well-known father.
According to a source, Keith Urban is deeply hurt by the rejection and seems completely withdrawn, as if he’s disappeared, according to a source who spoke to the magazine.
Keith is speechless and trying to appear strong, but he’s really shaken up. He understands he needs to be patient, but this recent rejection – especially being so public and written down – has left him completely bewildered.
People close to the situation told the Daily Mail that claims Nicole Kidman has influenced her daughters against their father are false.
They believe the girls are mature enough to understand what’s happening, and importantly, they spend most of their time with their mother.
According to their custody arrangement, Nicole Kidman spends 306 days a year with her children, while Keith Urban has them for 59 days, including Thanksgiving. Previously, The Daily Mail reported that Urban had originally requested a 50/50 split of time with their daughters, which caused Kidman significant worry and stress, as he seemed unwilling to compromise.
He’s required to spend time with his daughters every other weekend, from 10am Saturday to 6pm Sunday.
According to a source, the children’s feelings towards their father are their own, not influenced by Nicole. The source emphasized that Nicole wouldn’t do that, and that Keith hasn’t made a significant effort to repair his relationship with them. The girls have a very strong bond with their mother, who is the most important person in their lives.
Their father’s behavior since the September split, the source added, had been noted.
According to a source, since his breakup, Keith has been dating younger women and was initially very active socially, enjoying a more carefree lifestyle. The source added that he struggled with the separation.
Nicole isn’t actively looking for a relationship or going on dates. She’d likely be happy with a partner who isn’t in the public eye.
Friends of Urban have shared with the Daily Mail that he’s trying to stay positive and hopes he’ll feel better with time.
The singer empathizes with Nicole Kidman’s desire to keep her daughters nearby, likely because Kidman experienced a difficult first divorce. Kidman and Tom Cruise divorced in 2001 after ten years of marriage and share custody of their two adopted children, Isabella, 33, and Connor, 31.
Isabella and Connor chose to stay with their father, reportedly due to their shared beliefs in Scientology, a decision that Nicole Kidman is still said to find upsetting.
Urban, a source said, appreciates her concern.
According to a source, the women firmly support Nicole and are upset by what happened to her. They’re feeling protective and are directing their anger towards Keith, believing he’s the one at fault, not Nicole.
Nicole has a very special bond with her daughters. After her experiences with Tom Cruise and their children, she deeply cherishes being a mother and has always approached it with incredible dedication. Her daughters recognize this and feel very close to her, naturally wanting to protect her.
Keith is upset that they’re angry with him, and it’s bothering him a lot. He’s concerned about damaging his relationships with both of them, but he’s hopeful they can resolve things. He doesn’t think Nicole is responsible for the conflict, nor is she trying to turn them against him.
He understands he needs to rebuild his relationships, and he’s committed to making that happen.
Kidman, meanwhile, is taking the high road.
And she is on a roll.
Oh my gosh, you guys, her new show, Scarpetta, finally dropped on Amazon Prime! It’s based on the amazing Patricia Cornwell books, and seriously, seeing her alongside Jamie Lee Curtis is a dream come true! I was glued to the screen, and the best part? They’ve already ordered a second season! I’m completely obsessed and can’t wait for more!
Later this year, she’ll be back on screen with Sandra Bullock in the sequel to Practical Magic. She’s also currently filming the third season of Lioness, the popular and highly praised CIA drama created by Taylor Sheridan.
She’s currently enjoying a whirlwind of travel, having spent Christmas with family in Sydney and recently visited Antarctica. She’s already planned her next adventures, with flights booked to the Galapagos and Peru, where she intends to hike to Machu Picchu.
Nicole Kidman recently told Variety that she took a step back last year, explaining she was dealing with personal matters and needed time to herself.
But now, she said, she is firing on all cylinders. Life, she said, is looking good.
She explained to the magazine that she actively pushes against boundaries, both in her work and personal life. She’s now prioritizing adventure and making time for experiences she’s always wanted, focusing on personal exploration rather than career goals. This is a period in her life dedicated to fulfilling long-held dreams outside of her professional life.
