One of the bigger shocks of 2025 in pop culture news came when it was announced that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were splitting after 20 years together. Now, in the months since their divorce was reportedly finalized, the actress has finally opened up about how she’s “moving forward.”
This year is going to be a big one professionally for Nicole Kidman, as she has big releases on both the 2026 TV schedule and the 2026 movie calendar. However, looking back on the year before, while it was good work-wise, it was tumultuous personally. So, with all that in mind, Variety asked the actress if she was “doing all right since [her] separation.” In response, she said:
I am, because 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. 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.
This statement goes hand-in-hand with the message Kidman posted on New Year’s about looking forward to what was to come. Notably, along with those words, she also posted a photo with her daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

However, as the country singer reportedly moved in with his new girlfriend, a source did make claims that the kids spend significantly more time with their mom.
Now, shifting back to Kidman’s outlook on her life over the last couple of years, earlier in the interview, she discussed how 2026 will be “the year of Nicole Kidman.” The journalist noted that “every year is probably the year of ” the actress. However, in response, she explained that 2025 needs to be excluded from that:
Well, not last year. I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell.
However, now she’s back and as busy as ever. As she noted in the interview, she’s excited for the release of Practical Magic 2 on September 18 and going into “full witch mode” with her co-star Sandra Bullock. Plus, her new show Scarpetta is now available for those with an Amazon Prime subscription. Along with all that, her show Margo’s Got Money Troubles will come out this year, and we’re hopeful that 2026 will also feature some updates about the new seasons of Lioness and Big Little Lies.
So, along with moving forward personally, she’s maintaining the stellar career she’s always had. Therefore, yes, it would seem that Nicole Kidman is “moving forward” in stride.
