Work and what changes, if anything
Film and TV
Practical Magic 2 is the most immediate project on Kidman’s slate. People reported the film wrapped in London weeks before the split news. The release date remains September 18, 2026. No changes are announced. The sequel reunites Kidman with Sandra Bullock and producers from the 1998 film.
Kidman also filmed Scarpetta for Prime Video in Nashville earlier this year. Deadline reported on September 27, 2025 that she and Reese Witherspoon aim to bring more production to the city. That note suggests her current base of work remains steady.
Public events and brand work
Kidman has kept a full public schedule in 2025. She appeared at the Met Gala in May with a short haircut and at the Golden Globes in January. Those appearances show her ongoing visibility. Recent coverage also included a beauty partnership profile on September 29.
How this affects readers and fans
Fans may watch for any changes to red carpet plans or press tours. Studios factor personal schedules into campaigns. For now, there are no updates to film dates or series plans. Keep an eye on studio social feeds for any schedule moves.
What happens next
Separations often bring coordinated statements. None were posted on the couple’s main social channels at publication time. If a legal filing follows, details may enter the public record in their home jurisdiction. We will track for official updates and new statements from their reps.
Background for new readers
Nicole Kidman is an Oscar winning actor with a career across film and TV. Recent projects include Expats on Prime Video, which launched in early 2024. The limited series has not been renewed. Lulu Wang has said there are no current plans for a second season.
Keith Urban is a Grammy winning country artist. He tours frequently and appears on award shows. Reports indicate his tour continues into October 2025.
Why it matters
Kidman is a major star with global reach. Her personal life often intersects with publicity cycles. A high profile separation can shift interview plans, premieres, and brand campaigns. It can also change where a star spends time between projects.
For fans, the key takeaway is simple. The couple has separated. Their children remain the priority. Kidman’s film slate stays on track.
