There’s a new chapter unfolding for Nicole Kidman — and she’s stepping into it with a smile.
Just five months after reports confirmed her separation from Keith Urban, the Oscar-winning actress shared a quiet but telling moment on social media. On February 13, one day before Valentine’s Day, Kidman posted a sunlit photo of herself alone in bed, smiling softly as light poured through a nearby window.
The caption was short, but symbolic: “Happy Galentines.”
The post immediately sparked conversation. Galentine’s Day — popularized by the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation — celebrates female friendships and solidarity. For Kidman, the timing felt deliberate. A nod to independence. A nod to support.
Fans rushed to the comments, calling her “glowing” and sending messages wishing her strength and happiness as she embraces this new phase.
In September 2025, news of their breakup surfaced when People revealed that the pair — parents to two daughters — had ended their relationship after nearly two decades as husband and wife. At the time, an insider shared that her sister Antonia and the rest of the Kidman family stood firmly by her side, offering comfort and encouragement.
According to that source, the decision was not something she had hoped for, and she had made considerable efforts to repair the relationship before it ultimately came to an end.
Just a day after the story became public, Kidman officially submitted the divorce paperwork. Legal filings identified September 30 as the formal date they separated and referenced irreconcilable differences as the reason. The announcement arrived only three months after the couple had celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary.
Their last outing as a couple in public came in June 2025 during a FIFA Club World Cup game in Nashville, featuring Los Angeles Football Club versus Esperance de Tunis. Behind the scenes, though, insiders reported that they had already started leading separate lives. According to one source, Urban had discreetly arranged his own residence, a move that many close to the pair saw as an inevitable step.

Now, months later, Kidman’s Valentine’s-adjacent post didn’t reference heartbreak or regret. Instead, it radiated calm.
A smile. Morning light. A pink heart emoji.
No grand statement. No dramatic caption. Just a subtle message that she’s choosing celebration over sorrow — and perhaps finding strength in the women around her.
