Nicole Kidman has been pictured for the first time since the collapse of her 19-year marriage to Keith Urban, as friends reveal brutal new details of her 'humiliation' and why he finally 'grew tired'. The Australian actress, 58, was seen hiking in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday, comforted by her sister Antonia, who a source described as 'her rock' in this crisis.
In exclusive Daily Mail photos, Kidman cut a casual figure in a tight sports top and leggings, covering her eyes with large sunglasses and tucking her hair under a baseball cap. She was seen walking on a trail near the $4 million mansion she owns with Urban, where she has been staying with their two teenage daughters. The actress was heard laughing while hiking for about four miles, at times gesticulating expressively and linking arms with her sister.
The news of the split emerged on Monday when Urban moved out of the family home, reportedly unhappy at the 'lack of intimacy' in their marriage. Within 24 hours, Kidman filed for divorce in Davidson County, Tennessee, citing 'irreconcilable differences'. A music industry source told the Daily Mail that Urban is rumoured to be with a younger woman in the business, adding to Kidman's humiliation. One friend said Urban has not discussed whether he is dating anyone else.
Kidman has been devoted to Urban since they met in 2005, marrying in June 2006. Their early marriage faced challenges when Urban entered rehab for addiction and a model claimed an affair, which he denied. The couple have daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. An insider said: 'If it turns out to be true that Keith is involved with another woman, it will feel like the biggest humiliation for Nic. She does everything she can to keep herself looking young and in shape, not only for screen roles but also for Keith. He seemed to be growing tired of her looking for reassurance.'
