Hollywood icon Nicole Kidman and her longtime partner Keith Urban are reportedly contemplating leaving the United States for good in favor of their native Australia. The celebrity couple have spent most of their time stateside ever since their careers in the entertainment industry took flight. Nevertheless, rumors suggest that Kidman and Urban are now planning to move back to their home country. Naturally, many fans are curious to know if the rumors are true and if so, why the couple is planning to move.
Here’s everything you need to know regarding Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s rumored plan to move to Australia.
Are Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban moving to Australia?
At the time of writing, neither Nicole Kidman nor Keith Urban has confirmed whether they’re leaving the US. However, sources close to the two have stated that their move to Australia could occur sooner rather than later, owing to Nicole Kidman’s personal and professional struggles.
Kidman returned to Australia last month following the death of her mother, Janelle. Despite this, Kidman had to travel in order to promote her upcoming film and to meet other work commitments. Close acquaintances of Kidman have since spoken about a feeling of burnout in the Eyes Wide Shut star, suggesting a permanent move to Australia for her and Keith Urban.
Talking to Woman’s Day magazine, an insider stated, “Nicole and Keith have had their worst year ever; they’ve barely spent any time together, and she’s been on her own throughout some of her most distressing times.” As reported by The London Standard, Urban has also considered pausing his tours to assist his wife after the conclusion of his 10-date Las Vegas residency in February.
The two presently split time between their residences in Nashville, Beverly Hills, and New York, according to the needs of their schedules. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban also own properties in Australia, namely a farmhouse in the Southern Highlands and two penthouses in Sydney.
