Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s potential divorce is making headlines, and Kidman’s quiet push to secure residency in Portugal has emerged as a key sign that her marriage to Urban was under strain. According to insiders, the split was widely expected in their circle. Moreover, Kidman reportedly filed the paperwork in July, two months before the separation became public, and did so without Urban’s name on the application. This detail, per friends, is more than a simple formality.
Sources indicate there were signs that Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman were heading for divorce
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s separation came as a shock to their fans, and the couple is now potentially heading for divorce. However, Radar Online reported that friends saw it coming for months. In Portugal, Kidman arrived by private jet in Cascais. She later toured homes in a gated community — steps that suggested a solo plan abroad. Urban’s absence from the application was initially attributed to his touring schedule. However, sources now regard it as a telling detail.
A source told Radar Online, “Nicole applying on her own surprised many. She had always talked about creating a life with Keith, so leaving him off the paperwork felt unusual.” They elaborated, “Looking back, it seems less about convenience and more about cracks in the marriage.”
According to insiders, their marriage troubles had been discussed for months. An insider claimed, “Within their circle, it wasn’t a shock. People knew there were issues, and the Portugal move was taken as confirmation. By the time it became public, many felt it was the worst-kept secret in the industry.”
Another source added, “Nicole and Keith managed homes on different continents, but privately, it was difficult to keep it all together. The Portugal move was the first obvious sign that Nicole was preparing to go her own way.”
In the end, the residency filing and the solo house-hunting formed a pattern that foreshadowed Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce. For insiders, the signs were there well before the headlines, and Portugal made them apparent.
