Kidman and Curtis compare themselves to ‘Scarpetta’ characters
Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis reveal how they match and differ from their Scarpetta characters.
After spending 2025 “in her shell”, Nicole Kidman is focusing on “what’s good” in 2026, just months after filing for divorce from her husband of 19 years, Keith Urban.
In an interview with Variety magazine published on March 11, Kidman was asked if she was “okay,” to which she replied, “I’m okay, because I’m always moving in the right direction.”
She continued, “What I’m thankful for is my family and that I’m moving forward and keeping my family as is. That’s it. I don’t talk about anything else out of respect. I remain in the position of ‘we are family,’ and that’s what we will always be. My beautiful daughters, the love of my life, suddenly become women.”
Kidman began divorce proceedings in Tennessee on September 30th. As of January, their divorce was finalized, and the couple is following a parenting plan that will see the Scarpetta actress have primary custody of their daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15.
The teens will spend 306 days a year with their mother and every other weekend with their father, according to the final divorce judgment reviewed by USA TODAY. The estranged couple also agreed to a yearly schedule that determined how their teenage daughters would spend their various holidays.
Urban and Kidman will be jointly responsible for making important decisions regarding their daughters while they are minors. Sunday Rose will turn 18 on July 7th. However, Kidman has “final say” “in the unlikely event that the parties do not agree on important decisions for both minor children.”
Nicole Kidman prioritizes time with kids over career goals
With both of her daughters in high school, Kidman feels it’s “not the right time” to pursue more ambitious career goals.
“There are still things I want to do as an actor. I want to do theater again. I’ve done Broadway and the West End a few times,” she said. “But I’m interested in off-Broadway and maybe someday in regional theaters like Chicago.”
she continued. “Those things are different and exciting. The kids have to get to a certain age to be able to do that. This is not the time for me to do that. I have to take care of these kids. It’s kind of in my ‘future’ folder. I have to fill this summer with kid-friendly things.”
Amid the turmoil, Kidman announced her decision to remain in the Nashville area, where she and Urban have lived since around 2007.
“Our lives are here. I’ve been a part of this city and community for 20 years. This is my home,” she said.
