Hollywood icon Nicole Kidman and Grammy-winning artist Keith Urban officially ended their 19-year marriage in January 2026, following Kidman's divorce filing in September 2025, citing irreconcilable differences. While their financial and child custody arrangements for daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, appeared to be settled, a new, unexpected point of contention has emerged: their beloved pets.

Reports from multiple entertainment sources indicate that the former power couple is now locked in a custody battle over their substantial animal collection. Their Nashville property is home to a veritable menagerie, including dogs, cats, chickens, alpacas, and various fish. Currently, Kidman is reportedly caring for all the animals as Urban has yet to secure a suitable residence for such a diverse group.

This pet predicament is proving to be far more emotional than initially expected. Sources suggest that while the divorce itself was mostly amicable, the fate of these cherished animals remains unresolved, causing considerable friction. With Kidman reportedly contemplating a permanent move back to her native Australia, the logistical challenges of relocating such a large and varied animal family, especially with strict import laws, add another layer of complexity to an already raw situation.
