ALSO: "We all recognised that her marriage to Urban — a beta male by comparison [to Tom Cruise] — was a vote for something closer to normality, and moving to Nashville confirmed that."

"Sources suggest that there are no other parties involved and that it was a lack of intimacy that led to the split, citing their busy schedules...."
"More significantly, there are suggestions that Urban was frustrated not just by their physical separation (after all, this is not the first time he’s been on tour and she’s been on location) but by Kidman’s unavailability in a broader sense. He’s said to have 'called her out' (allegedly in the presence of friends) and challenged her, telling her he was unhappy with the growing space between them. It seems that he instigated the split and it is he who has moved out of the family home. She is said to be blindsided."

For a second there I thought I'd opened up Reddit or YouTube.
This is the only kind of "reporting" that should still be citing "anonymous sources" in the 21st Century. Actual "news" (as opposed to this type of People magazine or TMZ shit) should strive to at least be better than gossip if they want us to take the product seriously.
Golly. They have an awesome farm. Will it be up for sale?
Nicole Kidman movies = thumbs down.
In the words of Jay Cutler, "Dooooon't caaaaaaare.
A tale that is too often retold in the modern family.
Time for everyone to have “more work done.”
A beta male compared to...Tom Cruise? Huh? What in the Mandela effect? Who find Tom Cruise manly? When did this happen?
The cause is right there in the headline "19 year marriage". These are celebrities.
It seems the old adage holds true, never get into a relationship with an Australian.
Keith Urban was in Omaha on Saturday night and I didn't even know about it.
I was at Buck's in Venice, Nebraska listening to the Carson Jeffrey; the next Keith Urban. Great show!
I care, only in the sense that it is sad to see an otherwise happy couple having a falling out. When you attend weddings, often you are asked as friends and family to do your part to help keep the marriage together. This seems like a marriage that doesn't need to be dissolved, but both have very strong professional lives. I doubt either wants to give up their art.

Cruise does his own stunts. Some of them are intense.
"Lack of Intimacy"
I would guess Urban wanted something from the marriage he wasn't getting and he didn't want to cheat.
I wonder what that was.
How many sexually depraved movies can an actress make? she really is a pretty women, wasted.
Caller: Sex isn't a priority anymore
Dr Laura: Is your marriage a priority?
Major stars are unstable in relationships. No shocker.
Living separate lives. No shocker.
Kidman at age 58 probably isn't into romance or sex much either. No shocker.
At their ages, what's the point of splitting up? After 19 years of marriage and two kids, it seems like life will be more difficult for everyone after a divorce.
Never thought this was a sincere marriage, as opposed to a convenient business alliance. Lotsa photo ops, little chemistry.
Tom Cruise and Keith Urban? These adorable pint-sized guys are more like pets than husbands.
It's apparent that a lack of intimate apparel, apparently, ended their intimate appeal to intimacy.
Kidman, “ wiser than most of her peers.” Haha, that’s not saying much. Urban probably found someone younger and more attuned to his desires. That’s what celebrities do.
she was doing simulated sex on that netflix series, intimacy isses right,
Is this important?
No.
OK then.
More People magazine tier showbiz rich people problems. They're white people too. Ho hum. Call me when they have to go on food stamps while living in a motorhome.
That’s a damn shame…
"Cruise does his own stunts. Some of them are intense."
The same can be said for midget wrestlers. LOL.
Cruise might be a pint sized Scientology nutbar, but he's well versed in the manly arts.
Kidman has a plastic feel.
19 years is long for a celebrity marriage.
They lost the feels. She has also been starring in, at least from my perspective, Milf/Cougar fantasy roles putting her in compromising positions with younger men. While that's her job, it probably gets old for him to see her turn it on for those scenes, but not for him. (Obviously specualting). Gotta be double trouble when he's likely showered with unfettered love from his adoring fans only to have her look at him and be like, "Ugh. Why is it so loud when he chews? Did he clip his nails recently? Yuck."
Achilles -
Tale as old as time.
Remember when alpha male Tom Cruise jumped up and down on Oprah's couch?
Oh no!
Anyway...
Are we left to infer that "sources suggest" is congruent or equal to "without evidence"?
"something closer to normality" But not that close, marrying a tattooed addicted music star.
Upon reconciliation: Urban Renewal
Tom Cruise -- alpha; Keith Urban -- beta? That's a personal take, but not a universal and definitive one. The difference might be characterized in better ways. Cruise hogs the spotlight. Urban is more laid back.
Cruise isn't an Alpha because he abandoned his children. A true Alpha builds a powerful family.That doesn't mean Tom's not a man's man.
I don't know anything about Keith Urban.
Shows how much attention I pay to this stuff. I didn't even know they were together, let alone married for 19 years. I thought she was with Tom Cruise.
He looks like he's been tired of the arrangement for a while and stopped being thrilled about worshipping a superstar. IMO he's already met someone who is not a superstar and makes him feel like he's number one or at least on more equal footing. He's not a cheater, and wants a new relationship.
Being a celebrity tends to distort the world for you. What quantum of marital happiness is required after 19 years? What degree of personal divorce-related discomfiture is tolerable? We can say that they have come to know each other and now would rather be apart. Mutual affection and respect are in ever shorter supply. What do people need to be happy?
So Eyes Wide Shut, the sequel, is out?

Think of how much more enjoyment you get out of life not knowing.

He can at least pretend he does on the big screen. The manly art of parenting....................not so much.
