Nicole Kidman Just Detailed Feeling ‘Broken’ as Keith Urban Moves on With a Younger Woman: ‘Devastating’
Nicole Kidman is taking adulthood— and divorce—one step at a time. In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she opened up about beauty routines as a Clé de Peau Beauté and the unconventional wisdom that might be applicable to her divorce from Keith Urban.
When asked about what age she felt in her head, she actually responded that she embraces aging. “As I get older, I want to be able to share and impart the things I’ve learned,” she told the publication. “I’ve seen a lot, I’ve experienced a lot, and I’ve survived a lot. I want to pass on some of that knowledge and that wisdom and whatever I’ve learned. It’s more about sharing your own experiences, saying, ‘This is what I’ve learned, take from it what you will.’ ”
She elaborated more when she was asked about the best part of growing old. “The best part is the experiences that you’ve accumulated. So you go, ‘Oh, I’ve been here before. I actually know how to handle this now.’ Or, ‘Maybe I haven’t been in this place, but I’ve experienced something similar to this, and I do know that I will get through it.'”
One particular statement rings true to her breakup right now. “There’s something to knowing that no matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is, there is a way through, she says. “You’re going to have to feel it. You’re not going to be able to numb it. You are going to have to feel it, and it’s going to feel insurmountable at times. You’re going to feel like you’re broken, but if you move gently and slowly—and it can take an enormous amount of time—it does pass.”
Kidman filed for divorce on Sept. 30 after news broke of their split the previous day. The Baby Girl actress was reportedly “blindsided” by their breakup. “Keith has not been honest,” a source told People. “She wanted to save their marriage and believed that she could, but it seems he’s already moved on. It’s devastating to her. She’s shocked.”
The insider noted that “their split is turning dramatic” and that Nicole is “hurt and feels betrayed.”
TMZ reported there might already be another woman in Urban’s life. “All the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman,” a source told the site. “Let’s just say, Nicole doesn’t dispute that, but she’s still shocked over it.” A source close to Kidman said, “It’s all over Nashville.”
“The rumor is that he’s with a younger woman in the business,” a “Nashville music industry source told Daily Mail. “It’s all everyone is talking about. Everyone wants to know who, but so far, that’s a mystery.”
Kidman seemingly alluded to the breakup in a Vogue cover story. “How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?” she asked. To which Kidman immediately respnded that she “leans on” her “ride-or die” friendships with her Nashville neighbors for support, like Reese Witherspoon and a doctor who works at Vanderbilt Hospital.
Sources also say that she’s leaning on her daughters, Sunday Rose, 17 and Faith Margaret, 14, during the difficult time. “While Keith has been away on tour all summer, Nicole and her daughters have been inseparable, spending time together bonding,” an insider told People. “Now the focus is back to school in Nashville, where Nic has been getting the girls ready for the new year.” The actress accompanied her girls to Paris Fashion Week the week after the news of her split.
