Australian actress Nicole Kidman and the singer of Country Keith Urban formalized their separation, ending nearly two decades of union.
A couple who seemed solid
Their story started in 2005 during a gala in Los Angeles in honor of Australia. A year later, in June 2006, they were married in Sydney. From this union were born two girls, Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14).
Nicole Kidman is also the mother of two children, Bella (32) and Connor (30), from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.
According to the TMZ site, the two artists would not share the same roof since June, long before the official announcement of their separation.
A public image of harmony
Very active on social networks, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban regularly displayed their complicity. Last May, the singer was still posting tender photos of his wife on Instagram. The actress, for her part, celebrated their wedding anniversary in June. The couple had even been seen together in a club World Cup match in Nashville at the start of the summer.
What to surprise, faced with the news of their rupture.
However, the psychologist Pascal Anger recalls the need to put the image returned by celebrities: “No one knows what is really going on in a relationship, especially when it comes to media characters. The public image is often very far from reality “.
When the routine weakens the couple
The expert points out that even the strongest unions can erode over time: “With everyday life, the efforts to maintain the relationship decrease, and the couple’s exchanges to make a point on their relationship are becoming rarer“.
According to him, several factors can weigh: a weakening desire, external meetings or even the physical changes of the other.
“”This is why certain separations appear suddenly, while problems have been running for a long time“.
Preserve love over duration
The psychologist also delivers some keys to maintain a lasting relationship:
- Evolve the routine: transform habits into shared moments and new experiences;
- Communicate regularly: with humor, tenderness and respect;
- Accept the evolution of the couple: welcome changes in life to continue to move forward together.
Even for the most famous couples, nothing is ever acquired. The separation of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban recalls that love, beyond its media brilliance, is based above all on a commitment of every moment.
