Nicole Kidman is reportedly planning a significant change in her life after finalizing a custody arrangement post-separation from Keith Urban. The actress has secured primary custody of their daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, which is believed to open the possibility for a Nicole Kidman Australia move.
Sources close to the situation have revealed that with full custody now resting with Kidman, she has the freedom to relocate with her children. One insider explained,
“Nicole pretty much has full custody of the girls, so there’s really nothing to stop her from packing up and moving wherever she wants with them.”
Kidman’s Shift Away from Nashville and Previous Plans Abroad
Kidman’s stay in Nashville has long been tied to Urban’s music career, but following their split, there appears to be no compelling reason for her to remain there. Earlier, she had considered establishing a home in Portugal. However, her recent trip back to Australia over the holidays has prompted a change of heart.
According to those familiar with her thoughts,
“Six months ago, her plan was to put down roots in Portugal.”
Still, after reconnecting with her homeland, the pull towards Australia has grown stronger. One source shared,
“But after her last trip home over the holidays, she’s now saying Australia feels like a better choice for the girls and her. She’s feeling quite unmoored these days and feels a big pull back home.”
Family Ties and Daughters’ Preference Reinforce Move to Australia
Kidman’s daughters maintain close relationships with her Australian family, which further influences the consideration of relocating. The children reportedly support their mother’s decision, with one insider saying,
“Her girls are both on board. More than anything, they want her to be happy, but they love it in Australia as well.”
Keith Urban Faces Challenges with Potential Overseas Distance
Keith Urban is said to be struggling with the thought of Kidman and their daughters living so far away, as the divorce concluded after 19 years of marriage. Sources reveal that Urban is grappling with whether separating from Kidman was a mistake, especially due to the distance from his children.
An insider noted,
“Having his kids so far away is going to be very tough.”
Furthermore, they expressed that it would be difficult for Urban to accept Kidman relocating to the opposite side of the world, emphasizing,
“It also won’t be easy for him to accept Nicole moving across to the other side of the world, either. Either way, this is the worst-case scenario for him.”
Implications of the Move for Kidman and Her Family
Kidman’s potential return to Australia marks a pivotal moment following her separation, aligning her personal and familial priorities. This decision reflects her desire for stability for her daughters and herself after years tied to Urban’s career in Nashville. Moving back to Australia could offer Kidman a stronger support system close to family and a fresh start, while Urban will have to navigate co-parenting from afar, which may add strain for both parents.
