How Did Nicole Kidman Celebrate Her First New Year’s Eve Since Filing For Divorce From Keith Urban?
On her first New Year’s Eve since her split from country star Keith Urban, actress Nicole Kidman celebrated in Australia with their daughters by her side.
Fans were shocked when Nicole filed for divorce from Keith on September 30 after 19 years of marriage. The news came just one day after reports surfaced that the couple had separated in the summer.
Court records cited by The Tennessean listed “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the couple’s separation. The documents indicated that Keith and Nicole “had all details of their divorce agreed upon and signed before the case was filed.”
Nicole was granted primary paternal rights for her and Keith’s daughters, Sunday (age 17) and Faith (age 15). However, both Keith and Nicole will make joint decisions regarding significant things in their daughters’ lives. If they can’t reach a consensus, Nicole gets the final say.
According to their parenting arrangement, Nicole will have the girls with her 306 days of the year.
