Nicole Kidman, one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actresses, has filed for residency in Portugal while filming Practical Magic 2 in London. The Oscar-winning star’s move has generated speculation, but sources clarify that this action does not indicate an immediate relocation for her or her husband, Keith Urban. Kidman, 58, formally submitted her residency application at the Portuguese Agency for Integration, Migration, and Asylum on July 22.
Keith Urban’s Absence Linked to Touring Obligations
Reports suggesting that Keith Urban applied for Portuguese residency alongside Kidman have been disputed. A source revealed to People magazine that Urban, who is 57, missed the application appointment due to his ongoing U.S. concert tour, including a performance in Inglewood, California, scheduled for July 26. The couple, married for 19 years and parents to daughters Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14, currently live in Nashville without immediate plans to move abroad.
Kidman has been seen arriving in Cascais, an upscale seaside town near Lisbon. She has expressed interest in purchasing property within the exclusive CostaTerra Golf & Ocean Club, a 722-acre gated community favored by celebrities such as George Clooney, Paris Hilton, and Princess Eugenie.
