EXCLUSIVE: Nicole Kidman’s ‘Mad Dash’ in Failed Bid to Rescue Failed Marriage Revealed — ‘She Was Just too Late… It’s Sad for Her’

**Nicole Kidman’s Last-Minute Dash to Nashville: A Failed Attempt to Save Her Marriage to Keith Urban**

*Published Oct. 2, 2025, 7:52 p.m. ET*

Oscar winner Nicole Kidman recently made a “mad dash” back to Nashville in a bid to save her faltering marriage to country star Keith Urban, RadarOnline.com reveals. However, insiders say her arrival came “far too late” to salvage the broken relationship.

### Public Smiles at the Nashville Film Festival

The 58-year-old actress was all smiles during Nashville Film Festival week, where she joined Reese Witherspoon on stage and promised to bring “more and more production” to Tennessee.

“I love the Nashville people because they embraced me two decades ago, and they keep making it possible for our family to have the most beautiful life here,” Kidman told the audience.

### Private Heartache Behind the Scenes

Behind the scenes, sources claim her return to Nashville marked a last-ditch effort to save a relationship that had already collapsed.

A source close to the family revealed, “Nicole wanted to show she was committed, but the truth is Keith had already made up his mind. She rushed back to Nashville, hoping to fix things, but by then it was too late. It’s very sad for her.”

### Signs That the Marriage Was Unraveling

Another insider added that the split had been a long time coming. “Two narratives are playing out. Nicole’s camp says it’s only a trial separation, while Keith’s camp believes the marriage ended long ago. But either way, the reality is they are broken and done.”

Fans first noticed trouble in July when Kidman applied for permanent residency in Portugal without Urban, 57. At the time, this was described as a practical move while she filmed in Europe. Now, those close to the couple believe it symbolized her shifting toward a separate life.

A source commented, “The residency application marked a clear shift. To those around them, it suggested Nicole was preparing for life without Keith. It revealed a lot about the true state of their marriage.”

### Children and Clashing Worlds

Kidman and Urban, who married in 2006, share two daughters: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. According to an insider, the children are coping with the split in different ways.

“Sunday is throwing herself into partying in New York, while Faith may find herself at the center of custody issues if things become contentious, and it’s a hard pill for her to swallow,” the source shared.

Their disagreements extended beyond geography. A source familiar with the couple explained, “Nicole is more aligned with Hollywood and fashion circles, while Keith moves in a country music world that tends to be conservative. Their political views often clashed.”

### Rumors, Resentment, and Final Humiliation

Kidman’s first marriage to Tom Cruise ended after 11 years, and observers note that her relationship with Urban faltered close to its own milestone.

Divorce lawyers in Nashville say the couple could pursue a private ruling under the state’s no-fault system, which often results in an even 50/50 split.

Social media speculation has only added fuel to the fire. Rumors have linked Kidman to her *The Good Place* co-star Ted Danson, while Urban is reportedly unhappy about her close friendship with Zac Efron. A source described this as “the final humiliation” for the musician.

### A New Career Phase or a Broken Relationship?

For now, Kidman’s return to Nashville is publicly presented as a new phase in her career. Privately, friends say it represented something very different.

As one insider put it, “Nicole went back to Nashville to try and save her marriage. She’s now there, trying to put on a brave face about her split. If saving her marriage was the goal, she acted too late.”

EXCLUSIVE: Nicole Kidman’s ‘$600K Per Year Drug Clause’ for Keith Urban Under Scrutiny After Split — ‘A Decision’ to Separate ‘Wasn’t Made Lightly,’ Legal Expert Claims

**Sept. 30, 2025, Published 3:03 p.m. ET**

As Nicole Kidman’s separation drama from Keith Urban unfolds, a divorce attorney has exclusively spoken to RadarOnline.com about an intriguing detail in their prenuptial agreement — the so-called “cocaine clause.”

According to reports, this “cocaine clause” stated that Urban would be eligible for $600,000 annually, but only if he abstained from drugs and alcohol during their marriage.

### A Legal Expert Dishes on the Alleged Provision in Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Prenuptial Agreement

Lois Liberman, a partner in Blank Rome’s Matrimonial and Family Law Group, shared her insights exclusively with RadarOnline.com about this pertinent clause.

“It is more than likely that, in addition to the alleged provision which provides Keith with $600,000 per year from Nicole for every year of marriage, there would be additional clauses that specify what Keith acquired in his own name as his separate property,” Liberman explained. “For those assets that the parties held jointly, there would presumably be some distributable interest in those assets. Any drug use would not diminish his interest in those assets.”

### Keith Urban’s Separation Likely Not a Light Decision, Says Legal Expert

Liberman noted it’s “possible” that the monies Keith was to receive annually — as compensation for waiving claims to assets Nicole acquired during the marriage — could be forfeited for years in which he did not have his drug use “under control.”

She added, “Given that it has been reported that the decision to separate was Keith’s, it is likely that if there were such a huge financial penalty — whereby he would have lost $11,400,000 ($600,000 x 19 years) — that such a decision would not have been made lightly. Alternatively, he may have felt financially secure enough to proceed with the divorce regardless.”

### Possible Post-Nuptial Agreement May Have Addressed Sobriety Issues

Liberman also suggested that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban might have created a post-nuptial agreement during their marriage to address Urban’s “initial sobriety slip.”

“This may have clarified whether he would still be entitled to such monies if he remained clean and sober throughout the rest of the marriage,” she concluded.

### Keith Urban’s Struggles and Recovery During His Marriage to Nicole Kidman

In October 2006, only a few months after marrying Kidman, Keith Urban entered rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. Reports say Kidman planned an intervention, which Urban credits as a pivotal moment in his recovery.

He has described Kidman’s support during this period as critical, saying he was “very, very blessed” to have her by his side as he worked toward sobriety.

### Separation Outed: Split Said to Be One-Sided

As RadarOnline.com reported, the couple’s separation was revealed on September 29. Sources claim the split is one-sided, with Kidman doing everything she can to save their marriage.
