Keith Urban has recently been seen out and about following his highly publicized divorce from Nicole Kidman.
The famous couple had been married for nearly two decades and are parents to two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith, 14. The entertainment industry was taken by surprise when it emerged that Urban and Kidman had parted ways.
It is believed that the couple separated earlier this year, with Kidman subsequently filing for divorce from the country music star.
According to reports, the actress has requested to be the primary residential parent for their teenage daughters. The proposed arrangement would have Kidman taking care of the girls for the majority of the year, while Urban would have them for 59 days, as reported by PEOPLE.
The pair has apparently established a ‘parenting plan’ that both signed in the months of August and September.
As per the agreement, Urban, aged 57, has ‘already prepaid all child support obligations’. The pair has also agreed to avoid making derogatory remarks about each other in public.
Since their divorce made headlines, both Urban and Kidman have maintained a low profile. Recently, Urban was photographed getting off a private jet in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as he prepared for his show at Giant Center in Hershey on October 2.
TMZ shared photos of Urban without his wedding band.
On another note, Kidman was seen hiking with her sister Antonia in Nashville earlier in the week, as captured in images published by Mail Online.
Kidman was dressed in black leggings, a grey zip-up jacket, sunglasses, and a cap.
She, too, appeared without her wedding ring.
Kidman has cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason behind her decision to end their marriage. This same reason was used by Jennifer Lopez in her divorce from Ben Affleck last year.
Evan Schein, an attorney from the New York-based family law firm Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein, explained the term to UNILAD at the time.
“Irreconcilable differences is essentially no fault divorce and allows one spouse to file for divorce without alleging grounds or fault,” he said. “This is the widely used term to file for divorce.”
Schein also noted that prenuptial agreements can speed up the divorce process.
“If they have a prenup in place, then most of the financial terms of their divorce will have already been agreed upon,” he stated.
Reports suggest that Urban and Kidman have a ‘cocaine clause’ in their prenup, which stipulates that Urban would receive $600,000 from Kidman for each year he remained sober, due to his past addiction issues.
If Urban has maintained sobriety throughout their 19-year marriage, he could be entitled to an $11 million settlement from Kidman.
