Nicole Kidman is reportedly “furious” over the prenup terms favouring Keith Urban, as “it feels like rubbing salt into the wound of their break-up.”
According to a report by Radaronline.com, the country singer can legally receive $17 million from Kidman as part of their prenuptial agreement, which stipulates that if Urban remains sober, he is entitled to $600,000 for every year of marriage. Kidman filed for divorce on September 30, 2025, citing irreconcilable differences, deepening tensions over the payout.

A source told Radaronline.com, “Nicole feels the clause was slipped in to protect Keith, but in the end it protects his finances.” Urban, who struggled with addiction before marrying Kidman in 2006, relapsed four months after their wedding, following his 1998 rehab. “She supported him through his addiction, and now she sees him benefiting from it. That has left her feeling deeply betrayed,” the insider added. A second source noted, “Keith qualifies for a huge payout because he remained sober. Nicole is glad he stayed on that path, but she resents that the payoff comes out of her pocket.”

As per a People report, Kidman was “shocked” and “devastated” by Urban’s dishonesty, having tried to save their marriage. “Keith has not been honest,” a source said. “She wanted to save their marriage and believed she could, but it seems he’s already moved on.” The split, described as “turning dramatic,” stems from Urban’s “questionable choices” and his quiet setup of a separate residence, signalling the end.
The pair, married since June 2006, share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Urban admitted at the 2024 AFI Life Achievement Award Gala that his addiction nearly ended their marriage early on. Kidman, previously married to Tom Cruise with two children, Bella and Connor, now faces a contentious divorce. A source close to Urban said he’s “been going through some stuff,” while another noted their lives diverged.
