Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have reportedly called it quits after almost 20 years of marriage.

The actress and the country star have been married since 2006 and share two children.

Nicole also has two children with ex-husband Tom Cruise.

The megastars had a prenuptial agreement drawn up before they said ‘I do’ to protect their fortunes, with Nicole’s net worth sitting at a staggering $250 million and Keith’s at $75 million.

The legal document includes multiple clauses you wouldn’t find in a normal prenup, like a ‘cocaine clause,’ which could mean a major payday for Keith if he managed to stay away from drugs and alcohol.

One of the clauses in the prenup stipulates that Nicole would have to pay Keith $600,000 for every year they were married, which amounts to an eye-watering sum of $11.4 million, given that the Aussie musician steers clear of drugs and alcohol.

Keith credits Nicole for his sobriety after years of struggling with addiction and alcohol abuse.

The couple met back in 2005 while attending a G’Day USA gala and married a little over a year later.

During their relationship, the ‘Somebody Like You’ singer was deep into drugs and alcohol, taking everything from cocaine to ecstasy as his career took off in Nashville.

Shortly after their wedding, Keith did a three-month stint in rehab thanks to Nicole’s intervention, which he says changed his life and helped him achieve sobriety.

“That’s the point right there where she really should’ve just walked,” the four-time Grammy winner told Oprah Winfrey back in 2010.

“I’m just so glad she didn’t, and she made a decision to turn around and initiate ultimately this intervention, and it was done in such a way that the love in that room at that moment was just right.

I was like, ‘Put the cuffs on, let’s go.’”

Keith and Nicole have been married for almost 20 years

 

According to TMZ, the couple had reportedly been living apart “since the beginning of summer,” with Nicole staying with their teenage children and “holding the family together through this difficult time since Keith has been gone.”

Sources indicate that Keith has moved out and is now living in his own bachelor pad in Nashville.

Apparently, the split was one-sided, with Keith being the one to walk away from their nearly 20-year marriage, possibly toward a major payout, given their prenuptial agreement.

The couple was recently spotted together in May at the Academy of Country Music Awards, where Keith was awarded the ACM Triple Crown Award.
