Nicole Kidman and Keith urban split

Really shocked to read this. I’ve always been quite fascinated by her and why Tom Cruise and she split. She’s always tried so hard to present her second marriage as perfect. It’s quite sad.

As they say “Cherchez la femme”
The Daily Mail has it today.

I can't think of any male A-list actor who's had as much cosmetic work as NK has (allegedly) has done, or who is so prolific in their film and TV projects as she is.

@PrizedPickledPopcorn NK and Cate Blanchett haven't appeared in a film together. Are you thinking of different actors in the remake of Death on the Nile, from a few years ago?

You’re right! I’m conflating several films. I noticed it first with Cate Blanchett in Ocean’s 8 with Ann Hathaway and Sandra Bullock. Then with the others I’ve mentioned.

Basically highly tweaked so if you haven’t seen them for a decade they no longer look recognisable- especially those so distinctive in their youth. The work undoes their distinctive features. It’s a shame- but probably less noticeable to celeb watchers because it doesn’t happen in one go 🤣

I’m disappointed that NK feels she has to have so much work done.
The Hollywood pressure to stop the march of time- it’s so misogynistic.

I wondered why they hell she made this film when she can afford to pick and choose her roles. The sex scenes are utterly cringe and the age gap just grim as fuck
I can’t imagine what her poor daughters think of it.

Yes I was thinking why would she do that with young daughters? She is supposedly promoting female directors and it's not very feminist. I cringed at the way Keith calls her 'babygirl' as a nickname too . The whole vibe is very strange, over sexualised and not presenting a strong image for women.

Being spooned by a tall guy feels better imo

It really does

What’s wrong with liking a man shorter than you?

I don’t like to date guys shorter than me , but I am only 5/4 , so 🤷🏻‍♀️ …

Agree 😊

The fact that they are approaching sixty and still call each other Baby and Babygirl is absolutely cringe imo. And doing that skincare advertisement with her daughter which she said was to give her a memory of being fourteen. Why couldn't she just take a family snap?? She seems terrified of being out of the public eye, losing public adulation as she ages. She is a very average actress. She knows perfectly well that it's her beauty that sends the world crazy. Meryl Streep is a great great actress but the world is not clawing for a piece of her. I think NK needs the mania that surrounds her looks. I don't think it sends a great message to young women. All my opinion of course.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 01/10/2025 17:13

We never know what goes on behind closed doors and it’s always sad when a couple split. She has sadly succumbed to way too many tweakments on her face and I can’t watch her in anything as she’s just expressionless.

I can't imagine anything worse than being married to someone so obsessed with their looks and youth. I admire her in many ways but he possibly has to avoid turning the heating on in case she melts. I expect both have busy schedules and are obsessed with work. I'm not surprised.

JustStopItNorasaurus · 01/10/2025 17:22

I'm five foot 1 so most people men are taller than me.

For years I thought I was 5 ft 3. Fucked me right off when it turned out I am 5 ft 1. My BMI changed for a start. Angry

I don’t see anything with couples that say baby & babe 🤷🏻‍♀️ , like why would there have to be an age limit on calling one another affectionate names 😂 😂

Letmeoutodhere · 01/10/2025 17:58

Would you want to be called baby girl as a nearly 60 year old woman? I certainly wouldn’t .

What does that have to do with Kidman?

All this focus on how short someone is is utterly bizarre.

All leading meN in Holly wood are tiny in real life. Doesn’t bother me at all I would never have kicked Al Pacino out of bed in the 70’s.

Letmeoutodhere · 01/10/2025 18:39

Or Dustin Hoffman.

Why girl?

Each to their own i guess

All for a short king, my husband is only 1/2 taller than me (and I’m 5”4!)

everyoldsock · 01/10/2025 18:40

Funny how the first time we knew about the babygirl tattoo story when she was promoting the film, Babygirl.

Cause you said in above post, “ what’s wrong with dating a shorter guy “ , well you didn’t use the word dating , but same thing , I was just saying I prefer taller than me also 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes remember thinking at the time that him going into rehab just after they got married (?) was, at best, a tough start to a marriage.

Kind of wondered in an idle way how long it might last. Was pleased that they were still together and hoped they were happy.
