A body language specialist has analyzed Nicole Kidman’s demeanor at one of her first public appearances post her separation from Keith Urban.
In September, TMZ disclosed that the couple, who married in 2006, had parted ways and had been living separately ‘since the beginning of summer’.
According to an unnamed source cited by the publication, Kidman, 58, was ‘holding the family together during this challenging period since Keith has been absent’.
Further reports stated that Urban, 58, ‘procured his own house in Nashville and moved out of their family residence’ post-separation.
While the cause of their split remains unspecified, court records reviewed by People indicated that Kidman sought to be the primary residential parent for their two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
With these developments, Kidman attended Vogue World: Hollywood in Los Angeles, California, on Sunday (October 26), opening and closing the event with director Baz Luhrmann.
This marked one of her few public appearances since the divorce news emerged, so it would be reasonable if she wasn’t at her best.
Despite this, body language expert Darren Stanton suggests that Kidman is ‘making a statement’ amidst the high-profile divorce.
Representing Betfair Casino, Stanton commented: “She is looking supremely confident. Her hand is spread, which creates more space and the more space we create, the more confident and outgoing we want to be.
“She is not showing any signs of nervousness. She is non-verbally saying, ‘Look at me, I’m back’, and I’m super confident. From her choice of dress, body language and posture, she has confidence in abundance.”
Stanton further noted: “Her smile is genuine, she is loving the attention, not in an egotistical way, but in a positive sense that she feels great and looks great. She is making a statement, saying she is back and she is feeling good.”
After the divorce news went public, Kidman provided candid remarks on the situation in an interview with Vogue.
However, she did not mention her former spouse directly.
When questioned about her feelings in her 50s, the Babygirl star remarked: “How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?”
Urban, on the other hand, has responded to rumors concerning alterations in his lyrics.
