Nicole Kidman’s First Thanksgiving Following Divorce Announcement from Keith Urban
Nicole Kidman has been dedicating her time to family amid personal changes.
Following her decision to end her 19-year marriage to Keith Urban, the Moulin Rouge! actress offered fans a peek at her Thanksgiving activities — her first major holiday since filing for divorce in September.
On November 28, Nicole shared an image on her Instagram Stories showing herself with a large group preparing for a 5-mile charity run in Nashville. The event included her daughters with Keith, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban (17) and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban (14), all dressed in coordinated turkey-themed shirts featuring the race logo and their individual bib numbers.
The Oscar-winning star, who is also mother to Bella Kidman Cruise (32) and Connor Cruise (30) from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise, appeared in good spirits, captioning the photo with “So thankful… xx.”
Earlier reports from E! News revealed that Nicole and Keith had been living separately since early summer 2025. Nicole stayed in the Nashville home they once shared with their daughters, while Keith relocated to a nearby residence in the same city.
In a recent interview with Ariana Grande for Interview magazine, conducted on October 19 and published November 24, Nicole opened up about coping with her separation. She expressed feeling supported by her Practical Magic 2 co-stars—Sandra Bullock, Joey King, and Maisie Williams—who helped create a comforting environment during filming over the summer.
“I have such a strong relationship with all those women, so I felt protected and loved,” she noted. “It was just very, very safe.”
