Celebrity Separations in 2025
The news of global star Nicole Kidman's separation from her husband, musician Keith Urban, was a big shock to their fans, after a marriage that lasted more than 19 years. The international press widely covered the news, revealing unseen aspects of the stars' lives behind the scenes.
The Daily Mail reported from a knowledgeable source that Nicole Kidman separated from Keith Urban after a 19-year marriage, during which they had two daughters: Sunday Rose (17 years old) and Faith Margaret (14 years old), amidst their continuous commitments to filming locations and music tours.
Another source confirmed to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) that the couple had been living separately since last summer, noting that Kidman was not keen on the separation, but was surprised by the escalation of the situation between them.
Close sources explained that Keith Urban often did not see Nicole Kidman for long periods, whether during her filming or his music tours, and despite the ongoing affection between them, the pressures of their professional lives tipped the balance towards separation, despite the perfect image their relationship had shown for years.
The announcement of their separation came just a few months after Nicole Kidman celebrated their nineteenth wedding anniversary, posting a black and white photo of them together behind the scenes at one of Urban's shows on June 25, 2025, with the caption: "Happy wedding anniversary, my love," to which Keith replied with a red heart emoji.

Despite the long love story that united Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck since the early 2000s, and their reuniting in 2021 followed by their marriage in 2022, the relationship officially ended in 2025 after the divorce proceedings were completed.
Ben Affleck later expressed his great respect for Jennifer Lopez in an interview with GQ magazine, though their marriage had ended. The couple had actually separated in April 2024 before Lopez filed for divorce in August of the same year, citing irreconcilable differences.
According to documents obtained by People magazine, the Supreme Court of Los Angeles County announced the dissolution of Affleck and Lopez's marriage in February 2025, making both parties legally single.
