Nicole Kidman’s sensible pre-nup; Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney again?


Nicole Kidman had Keith Urban sign a prenup in preparation for their wedding this weekend that gives him a relatively paltry portion of Kidman’s fortune. Kidman is said to be worth $150 million dollars, but she’ll only surrender $600k a year to her groom-to-be if they get divorced. If he drinks a lot or does drugs, he gets nothing:

Kidman, who’s worth about $150 million, has had her hubby-to-be ink a lowball prenup that guarantees him a kiss-off of just over $600,000 a year for every year they are together, according to press reports in Australia and England. In addition, there’s a clause that allows her to bail without giving Urban, an ex-cocaine addict, a cent if he uses illegal narcotics or boozes excessively.

The agreement, signed in Los Angeles earlier this month, also calls for joint custody of any kids the couple has together, although Urban would be prohibited from taking them out of whatever country Kidman is living in, the London Daily Mail said.

Kidman, 39, will wear a long white gown with Victorian-style high collar during the traditional Roman Catholic ceremony at an old Gothic chapel overlooking the sea in the Sydney suburb of Manly – a far cry from her Scientology-based nuptials with Tom Cruise in 1990, a union that ended in annulment five years ago.

The 200 guests who’ll party under a huge white tent after the wedding include her adopted kids with Cruise, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11; Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Russell Crowe, Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman and Lachlan and Sarah Murdoch. Flying in separately are Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney, whose marriage only lasted seven months but whom we hear are quietly seeing each other again.

Meanwhile, Nicole had her bachelorette party at her sister Antonia’s home, and it was tamer than tame. Instead of male strippers and boozing, the girls each brought a favorite recipe to discuss.

The most interesting part of this article is the mention of Zellweger and Chesney’s on-again relationship. If this is true, I would like to see pictures. Zellweger manages to avoid the paparrazi, and she was rumored to be seeing Chesney briefly after their high profile divorce. She deserves someone who will pay more attention to her, though, and if the rumors about Chesney are true it’s possible they’re just friends.

Kidman has taken smart precautionary measures for her wedding to an ex-drug addict, although it might actually last and we hope things work out for them.

Although Kidman’s “hen party” wasn’t too exciting, Naomi Watts was in town to party with her prior to the wedding, and it looks like they had a little bit to drink. Here are pictures of Watts and Kidman out on the town last night in Sydney. [via] In the last picture Kidman is shown being driven from her Sydney home this morning.

    smart step to get a prenup, particularly in this case. I have my doubts about this marriage and I’m glad she’s protecting herself, at least financially.
    That’s the first time I’m hearing about Meryl and Julianne coming to the wedding. None of the Aussie press reports that. Also, Renee and Kenny? I don’t think so. Naomi looks sweet, as usual, so unassuming.
