Nicole Kidman’s $31 Million Year? Divorce Filings Claim She and Keith Urban Earn the Same
After 19 years of marriage, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are divorcing over irreconcilable differences — and new filings lay bare their earnings while flagging clashing figures in a child support worksheet submitted by Kidman’s lawyer, according to documents obtained by E! News.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are calling it after 19 years, and their divorce paperwork just added an odd twist to an already very public split. The short version: the documents say both of them make $100,000 a month. The reality: Kidman is one of Hollywood's biggest earners and, per Forbes, reportedly pulled in $31 million in 2024. So yeah, that eyebrow raise you felt is warranted.
The money part that does not add up
According to documents obtained by E! News, Kidman filed a Child Support Worksheet connected to custody that lists both her and Urban at $100,000 per month. On paper, that is neat and symmetrical. In the real world, Kidman is frequently at the top of the pay scale and landed at No. 8 on Forbes' 2024 highest-paid actors list with an estimated $31 million for the year. That monthly figure in the worksheet could be a placeholder or a simplified number for the form, but it is definitely at odds with the industry picture.
What is not in dispute: neither of them is getting spousal support, and they are not paying child support to each other either. The filing spells it out:
"Neither party shall pay any amount and/or form of alimony or spousal support to the other. All alimony and spousal support claims are hereby forever waived by the parties."
Kidman worked nonstop in 2024
That $100K line looks even stranger when you look at her workload last year. Kidman was everywhere: three films, three series, plus major brand work.
- Films: A Family Affair (rom-com), Babygirl (erotic thriller), Spellbound (animated musical fantasy)
- Series: Expats (Prime Video), The Perfect Couple (Netflix), Special Ops: Lioness (Paramount+)
- Brand: Balenciaga ambassador
And she is not slowing down. Next up: Practical Magic 2, the Patricia Cornwell adaptation Scarpetta, and Margo's Got Money Troubles. In a recent Variety chat, she basically said stepping back is not her thing because she likes putting energy into new talent and building jobs, even if that means she rarely puts herself first.
Where Urban lands in all this
Urban recently canceled a South Carolina stop on his High and Alive World Tour. The show change arrives as he deals with health issues and, obviously, the divorce headlines.
How we got here
The divorce is being filed over irreconcilable differences. The two reportedly started living apart at the beginning of the summer, right around when Urban hit the road. Kidman allegedly wanted to try to repair things and avoid a split, but the paperwork is official now: she filed on September 30, 2025. They married June 25, 2006, and share two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.
The takeaway
Between the $100K-per-month figure in the filing and Forbes placing Kidman at $31 million for 2024, the math does not line up, at least not in the way a casual reader would expect. Forms like these can use simplified monthly income figures that do not reflect big-picture earnings, but still: it stands out. What is clear is the financial clean break — no alimony either way, and no child support exchanged.
