Nicole Kidman Spent Summer Closely Bonded with Daughters While Keith Urban Was on Tour

While Keith Urban was on tour, Nicole Kidman turned to family life in Nashville, finding comfort in time with her children as their marriage entered a difficult chapter.

Nicole Kidman leaned on her daughters during the summer months before the news of her separation from Keith Urban. The news about their split first broke on September 29.

A source told People that Kidman did not want the separation and had been "fighting to save the marriage." The insider also noted that her sister Antonia has been a strong source of support, with the wider Kidman family rallying around her.

While Urban toured across North America and Australia, Kidman spent much of the season with their daughters, Sunday Rose, and Faith Margaret. A family source said that in August, the trio had been "inseparable" and enjoyed months of close bonding before the girls returned to school in Nashville.

The family continues to reside in Nashville, a city the actress has described as an ideal place to raise her children, thanks to its close-knit community and supportive network of friends.

News of the split sparked emotional reactions from fans. Some expressed hope for reconciliation, with one comment reading, "Praying for a reconciliation," and another urging, "We want Keith and Nicole to reconcile before Christmas."
