Hollywood icon Nicole Kidman is making a major life change by applying for UK residency, according to reports. The Australian-born actress, who holds dual US and Australian citizenship, is seeking to make Britain her permanent home alongside her husband, country music superstar Keith Urban.
The power couple, married since 2006, own a stunning £10 million mansion in the affluent Surrey countryside. Sources suggest Kidman wants to establish deeper roots in the UK to support Urban's career and provide stability for their two teenage daughters.
From Hollywood to Surrey
The 56-year-old actress, known for her Oscar-winning performance in The Hours, has been increasingly spending time at their Surrey estate in recent years. The move would allow her to be closer to London's thriving entertainment scene while enjoying the privacy of the English countryside.
"Nicole has fallen in love with British life," an insider revealed. "She adores the culture, the theatre, and the sense of history. Most importantly, this decision is about family unity."
A Transatlantic Love Story
Kidman and Urban's romance has spanned nearly two decades, weathering the challenges of dual celebrity careers. While Urban frequently tours in America, the UK base provides a convenient midpoint between Hollywood and Nashville.
The residency application comes as Kidman prepares for several upcoming projects, including the highly anticipated Expats series for Amazon Prime. Meanwhile, Urban continues to dominate the country music charts, recently completing a successful European tour.
If approved, the residency would mark a new chapter for one of entertainment's most enduring power couples, blending Hollywood glamour with British country living.
