Nicole Kidman's inner circle of Hollywood A-listers is reportedly rallying to throw her a divorce party following her separation from husband Keith Urban. The actress, 58, is said to be the focus of a major celebration planned by her closest friends upon her return to Los Angeles from Australia.
Hollywood's Supportive Circle Springs into Action
According to sources speaking to New Idea, the Australian star's divorce announcement came as a shock to many, but her tight-knit group of friends is determined to lift her spirits. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are among the high-profile pals who have been offering their support. An insider revealed that the party plans are set for when Kidman is back in LA for work commitments, including red carpet events.
"Nicole's divorce came as a shock to everyone but a small few in her circle, and it's those close friends who are planning on cheering her up while she's in town," the source said. They added, "She's gone through a lot, and there are a lot of close friends who haven't yet seen her in person since the split. Everyone wants her to know she has a rock-solid circle of loyal friends in LA."
Freedom Banners and a Future Focus
Reports suggest the festive gathering has been in the works for some time. Woman's Day magazine claims that Sandra Bullock and Naomi Watts are also involved in orchestrating a celebration for the Babygirl star. The theme is firmly centred on looking ahead.
"Everyone from Reese Witherspoon to Sandra Bullock is ready to send out invites and order freedom banners and ex-file piñatas," a separate source claimed. "They want her to get excited about her future again. Celebrating the end of something old and the start of something new in a room full of hot men - it's exactly what she needs."
Kidman's Australian Christmas and Urban's Reported Regret
Amid the divorce proceedings, Nicole Kidman spent the recent Christmas holiday in her native Australia with her two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith, 15. A source told People magazine that being home was "all she wanted after a tumultuous fall," and that she was "very excited" and feeling "very blessed" despite the end of her nearly two-decade marriage.
While Kidman focuses on family and friends, reports indicate Keith Urban may be grappling with the reality of their split. The country music star, who parted ways with Kidman in September after 19 years of marriage, is allegedly "wondering if he's made a huge mistake," according to Woman's Day.
"It's a lonely existence for Keith right now - he's exhausted, isolated and looking at a future he never imagined," an insider said. "He's also lost his best friend, Nicole, who was also his greatest supporter in life." The source also noted the financial implications, stating, "He's got to pay the bills - and divorce lawyers don't come cheap."
