Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban‘s split after almost two decades of marriage has sent shockwaves through the showbiz world.
The Oscar winner, 58, and the musician, 57, have been kept apart of late amid their hectic filming and touring schedules – with an insider saying Nicole was left ‘blindsided’ by the split.
And just days before the news broke, Nicole appeared happy and content as she attended Cle de Peau’s event in Los Angeles as the new brand ambassador.
She put on a glamorous display in a figure-hugging black gown and posed for a slew of snaps – appearing oblivious to her marriage woes.
The news of their split comes just weeks after Nicole marked nearly two decades of marriage with Urban by sharing a heartfelt tribute to the country star on their 19th wedding anniversary.
To mark the special occasion, the Big Little Lies star posted a sweet black and white photo of them sharing a sweet moment backstage at one of his shows.

In the image, the Oscar winner can be seen with one arm draped lovingly over her husband’s shoulders as he held her hand.
The happy couple both closed their eyes as Kidman rested her forehead against Urban’s head.
‘Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban,’ she captioned the post, which received more than 25,023 likes in less than an hour.
Within minutes, the Somebody Like You hitmaker commented a single red heart emoji.
The pair wed back in 2006 during a traditional Catholic ceremony at the Cardinal Cerretti Chapel in her hometown of Sydney.
Kidman and Urban married five years after her split from actor Cruise.
She welcomed Sunday in July 2008 and Faith via surrogate two years later.
Speaking about the split, a source said: ‘Keith never sees Nicole, either she is filming or he is on tour. There was a lot of love between the two and they might not divorce, but there is a world that they both live where neither of them are in it.

‘Keith and Nicole have been together for decades and there is a world which they can reconcile, but the way their pairing is now, it is not a couple.’
Nicole was previously married to Tom Cruise, 63, for 11 years from 1990 to 2001. They adopted two children together: Isabella, 32, and Conor, 30.
The Australian actress and Urban were last seen together publicly in June this year, when they were pictured attending a FIFA World Cup match in Nashville, Tennessee.
The country star has been away for much of the year on his High and Alive World Tour. He is due to perform in Hershey, Pennsylvania on Thursday.
Kidman and the children, meanwhile, have remained in Nashville, where the couple own a $4million compound.
TMZ reported Monday that ‘Keith has acquired his own residence in Nashville and has moved out of their family home.’
Over the summer, the actress and their kids stayed in England while she filmed the sequel to her 1998 movie Practical Magic. She was paying a reported £65,000 ($87,000) each month to rent a luxurious Hampstead mansion once owned by pop star Boy George.
While the London move was for work, it certainly raised eyebrows back in Kidman’s native Australia.
The former couple share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14 – seen second and third left in 2024
‘[Kidman and Urban] do make an effort to speak every day when they’re apart, but it is shocking how much time they’ve spent apart since Nicole’s mother died last September,’ an insider told local magazine Woman’s Day earlier this month. ‘It’s like they both went their separate ways.’
In July, Urban dropped a hint that all was not well between the pair when he dramatically hung up during a phone interview with a radio station after a crude question about Kidman’s raunchy recent scenes, such as in her movies Babygirl and A Family Affair.
For her part, and while promoting her Netflix series The Perfect Couple back in September last year, Kidman admitted there was no such thing as a ‘perfect’ marriage.
‘There’s no perfect anything,’ she said, ‘anything that’s presented as perfect… forget it.’
Earlier that year, Kidman said she was ‘so lucky’ to have met the singer.
‘I’m so lucky that I have Keith who’s just my love, my deep, deep love,’ she told People magazine.
‘I’m so lucky that I have Keith… that gives me the ability to go and do whatever I have to do because I know where I can come back,’ she added.
