    Nicole Kidman is excited for 2026 amid her divorce from Keith Urban

    The actress had a rocky 2025 thanks to her shock split from the country singer, both 58, but it appears she has left her heartbreak in the past, as Nicole feels optimistic heading into the new year as a single woman.


    She took to her Instagram Stories on Friday (02.01.26) and shared a photo - seemingly taken on New Year's Eve (31.12.25) - of herself cosying up to their daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15, as they looked out to the water in Sydney, Australia, as a firework burst in front of them.

    The Babygirl star penned across the shot: "Looking forward into 2026 xx (sic)."

    Nicole was "excited" to spend the holidays Down Under with her children.

    In December 2025, a source told People: "Nicole and the girls are in Australia for Christmas. This is all she wanted after a tumultuous fall.

    "She just wanted to celebrate Christmas at home. She's very excited."

    On September 29, 2025, it was confirmed that Nicole and Keith - who, according to E! News, have been living separately "since the beginning of summer" - had separated after 19 years of marriage.

    And the following day, People reported that she had filed for a divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences".

    Last November, Nicole admitted to Wicked: For Good actress Ariana Grande, 32, in a chat for Interview magazine that she was "hanging in there" amid her split from the Somebody Like You hitmaker.

    Also, that month, a source claimed to People that Sunday and Faith split their time amicably.

    The insider said: "Their daughters live with Nicole, but spend as much time with Keith as they want. There is no drama."

    A separate source claimed the following month that the Big Little Lies actress and the You'll Think of Me singer "continue to co-parent" and their focus is on creating a "stable and supportive environment" for their daughters.

    It comes after People reported in October 2025 that their parenting plan - which Nicole signed on September 6 and Urban on August 29 last year - states that the actress is the "primary residential parent, spending 306 days with the girls" while Keith "will have them for 59 days annually".

    It also outlined that the former couple would "encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families".

    Nicole was married to 63-year-old actor Tom Cruise from 1990 until 2001.

    They have son Connor, 30, and daughter Bella, 33, together.
