Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban’s divorce has been finalized three months later

I really hoped I would get the chance to use these photos!! On Sunday, Nicole Kidman was photographed at the Sydney airport with her daughters Faith and Sunday. Nicole has owned a home in Sydney for years, and I assume she and her daughters spent the holidays in Australia. But look at Nicole’s hair!! Nicole has spent years wearing wigs and hairpieces, and she spent a lot of time and money over the years trying to tame her naturally curly hair. But these days, her old hair is back and it’s curly and fun! Even her Divorce Bangs are curly now.

Well, speaking of Nicole’s Divorce Bangs, her divorce from Keith Urban has been finalized. Nicole and Keith split last year, although we’ve never gotten a straight answer about how and when they separated. I tend to believe they separated last spring (May-ish), and they were quietly working out their divorce behind-the-scenes when Keith seemingly let it be known that he was moving on. Nicole was furious and she let everyone know that he left her and she wanted to work it out. Well, it’s totally over now.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have reached a settlement and finalized their divorce. The Perfect Couple actress and the country music star, both 58, entered into an agreement that was filed in court on Tuesday, Jan. 6, just three months after Kidman officially filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, she and Urban have agreed to waive all child and spousal support rights. Each person is also responsible for their own legal fees and expenses.

According to the parenting plan for their daughters, Faith, 15, and Sunday, 17, both Kidman and Urban are required to “behave with each other and each child so as to provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced.”

“They will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent,” the agreement states. “They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.”

Kidman’s home will be Faith and Sunday’s primary residence as she has them for 306 days out of the year. Urban was granted 59 days out of the year, with their daughters allowed to spend every other weekend, from 10 a.m. on Saturday morning to 6 p.m. on Sunday evening, with him. Both parents have joint responsibility for major decisions regarding their daughters’ lives.

[From People]

The divorce sounds like it was relatively easy because they likely had a prenup and neither party tried to invalidate it. Plus, their girls are both teenagers and a family court would have weighed Sunday and Faith’s decisions about which parent they wanted to live with or see more often. The girls are very clearly on their mom’s side, but Keith still gets to see them a few nights a month. Sunday probably has her driver’s license so she can drive over and see her dad if she wants to see him more often. Anyway, I’m curious about Nicole’s next moves. She hasn’t been single in twenty years! A lot has changed.

  3. Tulipworthy says:

  4. CM says:

    She wears divorce very, very well!!!

  5. Quick clean and very little drama!!

    She is a successful woman. I am glad she kicked him to the curb but she did talk loving of Keith for quite some time. Like I saw a Colbert from last few years where he asks celebrities fun questions via a game and she said her favorite smell was Keith. I had a pang of sadness that she may really have wanted to try and work it out. I wish her lots of love though she and Keith did have a successful marriage and kids before the implosion for quite some time. Wishing her love in any form via friends, kids, lovers, etc. and less odd balls like Tom Cruise and Keith.

  7. Little Red says:

    I love that the curls are back.

    I saw these photos come through on my Facebook news feed last night and some random commenter responded with “Keith got the flatiron.” which is one of the funniest comments ever.

    Only if she wants to but would it be fun if her and Lenny got back together. I just saw the spread about his Paris home and you can tell the man has been doing work on himself. Like I want Nicole to be lounging in a fabulous Paris home with her hot rock star lover who goes to therapy.

    Sorry to tell you but that’s a wig. She said years ago on Graham Norton that all the years of chemicals ruined her curls and they were gone. She looks good though.

    • grniewnie says:

      Not a wig. Look at it! Chemicals did “ruin” her curls because her hair is far less curly than it was when she was young. That doesn’t mean her hair is stick straight now and she’s wearing a wig in an airport.

      • Nana says:

        For everyone certain this is a wig, look up BMX Bandits on IMDB (or google it). This is her OG hair that she’s tried to hide for the last three and half decades… good on her for letting it all out 🙂

    • Annette says:

      Im not sure that chemical treatments can damage follicles to the point that the hair textures changes forever, but maybe?

      I’m also not a wig cop, so I can’t weigh in on that, but some women’s hair texture changes during peri/menopause. My hair has gone from mostly wavy to a mix of very curly and wavy.

      So I’m willing to believe that’s Nicole’s hair.

      • GrnieWnie says:

        It’s more like heat/chemicals damage the hair and then you don’t eat that well, not like when you were a child/young adult growing that head of hair in the first place. Or you’re stressed, you smoke now (Nicole did, though idk how regularly), etc. So the new, undamaged hair that grows in never really looks the same. Ask me how I know…

    • Little Red says:

      Hair texture is dependent on the shape of the follicles.

      Also, like Annette says, hair texture can change with age. My slightly wavy hair is getting curlier as I get older.

      I think the “chemicals ruined my hair” was just an excuse to cover-up the fact that she wanted to wear her hair straight for whatever reason.

    • DaveW says:

      Over the years, seems most times she’s in Australia there’s usually a pic or two with her hair curlier. Guessing since she’s “home,” plus the high humidity, make it easier for her to just let it go natural for a bit.

      My hair has a good bit of natural wave/curl and as long as there’s a touch of humidity, I do the same. Meaning I don’t touch a blow dryer from May – September. Makes getting ready so much faster, lol!

      • Snoozer says:

        We are currently in a heat wave here in Sydney. It’s going to reach 40 degrees Celsius today (104 Fahrenheit). Only a lunatic would wear a wig in this weather so I’m going with natural hair.

        My guess: she severely damaged her hair over the years through a combination of dying/bleaching, flat-ironing, chemical straightening and under-eating. It was in pretty bad shape.

        However, she has spent a lot of time and money working on getting it healthy and looking nice again. These are the results. She may have some extensions in to thicken it up; but I think this is her real hair.

        And letting her curls out is a nice little distraction from the negativity of the divorce too.

  10. GrnieWnie says:

    Yayy!! I LOVE her curly hair! Straight hair is so boring. Anyway, interesting that they had to spell out good behaviour in the divorce agreement. And interesting that Keith only sees them every other weekend (doesn’t he also live in Nashville?). I’ll never understand fathers who make that choice, especially not one who has all the ways and means.

    I have a theory about people who never change their hair or makeup significantly over time (Keith has had 2005 emo hair forever). I think they don’t change. They’re afraid of it. They just slightly modify this old version of themselves, this version from when they peaked. They’re like the woman in the 2000s who is still wearing bright blue eyeliner from 1980, because that’s what she wore when she was on top of the social pyramid in high school. They don’t grow.

  11. SIde Eye says:

    She looks great! I’m so happy for her that she seems to be in a good place. Love the curls.

  12. Cosmo says:

    Wasn’t it close to platinum blonde before? It looks reddish now. Did she dye it to be closer to her natural color?

  13. Debbye says:

    I love Nicole! Team Nicole. I dropped sorry Tom Cruise, never seen one thing he has done, when he left Nicole

  14. Katherine says:

    That hair is stunning!! Selfishly, cannot believe we were deprived of it all these years.

    • Barbie1 says:

      It is a wig dear. It has been for many years.

      • Snoozer says:

        We are currently in a heat wave in Sydney and it would be insane to wear a wig in this weather.

        I think she’s been carefully working on restoring her hair for years, and this is the result. Probably with some extensions to thicken it up.

  15. Jay says:

    Happy to see Nicole wearing curls again, whether it all grew from her scalp or she’s getting some help! I never thought those flat-ironed, pale blonde locks were that flattering on her. Maybe she’ll do a big chop someday and just let it all grow out!

  16. Beverley says:

    Nicole looks happy and healthy. So glad for her!

  17. Lady Digby says:

    Today Alice Evans and Ioan Gruffufydd are in court, five years after he left an abusive marriage, the divorce was bifurcated but she’s still wasting his cash on dragging out a financial settlement. There is a cast iron prenuptial but she wants to continue contact and the abuse by contesting that as well. Nicole Kidman has handled her second divorce with class and dignity and is concerned about her children. She will process the hurt privately, rebuild her life and enjoy her satisfying career and one day will be with someone who truly loves and appreciates her. Alice has poisoned her own life with bitterness and destroyed her daughters ‘ relationship with their father. Choose the path towards happiness for you and your offspring if divorce is necessary.

  18. Aurora says:

    She looks fantastic back to curly!

  19. Shuygnite says:

    Nic- Please call Lenny Kravitz —yum!

  20. BeanieBean says:

    I love celebrity airport style. Nicole Kidman would be my absolute favorite, I swear. I always look like I just rolled out of bed & then hit the floor.

  21. therese says:

    That is the absolute coolest outfit and hairstyle. Love her outfit.
