Nicole Kidman Says She Had a Different View of What Her Life Was Going to Be Before Divorce from Keith Urban

Nicole Kidman  has opened up about life in the wake of her divorce from Keith Urban in British Vogue. As People writes, the actress-producer, 59, said that her “well-examined life” involves “trying things, making mistakes, failing, getting back up, moving on, embracing love, staying open, keeping the heart open and the possibilities.”

Amid the separation from Urban, 58 — which she opted to avoid the particulars of when speaking to British Vogue, the publication wrote — Kidman has embraced a “feelings first” approach to both work and life. “My desire is not to be ruled by my head,” explained the Oscar winner. 

“But at the same time I’m like, ‘OK, I didn’t expect this. I had a different view of what my life was going to be, but this is what it is now,’” she said in reference to a difficult year. “You make all these plans and you have all these ideas of what it’s all going to be like and then it’s … not. You have to adjust. You adapt. The future, it’s completely unknown to me right now.”

Nicole and Urban, who married in 2006, announced their split last September and finalized their divorce in January. They are parents to daughters Sunday Rose, 18, and Faith Margaret, 15. (Kidman also shares Bella, 33, and Connor, 31, with ex Tom Cruise).
