As we previously reported, Nicole Kidman filed for divorce from Keith Urban this week after 19 years of marriage.
Insiders say Nicole and Keith separated back in June, but this week’s filing still came as a surprise to Urban.
Keith has reportedly moved on with a new girlfriend, but it appears that the relationship did not begin until after he and Nicole separated.
So if there was no infidelity, why the abrupt filing? Well, one source claims to have the answer to that question.
Insider says Nicole’s career came between her and Keith
According to a new report from Page Six, Nicole put acting on hold for several years so that she could focus on her two daughters by Keith.
But now that Sunday and Faith are in their teens, she’s back into career mode — and it seems Keith didn’t like that change.
“She’s been feeling amazing and very happy about having a career again,” the insider said, noting that the girls “love seeing their mom work” and are “very supportive” of her aspirations.
However, Urban has reportedly been “the opposite” of supportive.
“Keith was used to her being supportive of his career,” the source explained.
“He’s not been as supportive as she hoped.”
A messy split ahead?
According to a new report from TMZ, Nicole already filed to legally end the marriage in sudden fashion, and she’s made some shocking demands in her Marital Dissolution Agreement.
Under the arrangement proposed by Nicole, the exes’ two daughters will spend 306 days of the year with her and just 59 days with Keith.
Yes, Nicole has clearly given this a lot of thought, and she couldn’t be more precise in her demands.
She gave the vague “irreconcilable differences” reason for the divorce (a favorite among celebs who wish to retain a shred of privacy), and she’s stated that she intends to remain the “primary residential parent of the minor children.”
We may never find out exactly why these two called it quits, but it’s likely that there’s more than one explanation.
“Sometimes relationships just run their course,” said the Page Six source.
Sadly, truer words have never been spoken.
