Nicole Kidman made her first public appearance since filing for divorce from Keith Urban by attending the amfAR gala in Dallas on October 4, where she was seen alongside Taylor Sheridan, the creator of Yellowstone. The event, focused on AIDS research, brought the two together in a setting that highlighted their professional connection.
Details of Kidman and Urban’s Separation and Recent Public Sightings
Kidman and Urban were married for 19 years before she publicly announced their divorce on September 29. The couple shares two daughters, Sunday Rose, born in 2008, and Faith Margaret, born in 2010. Despite the recent split, they were seen together in public as recently as May 2024 at the ACM Awards, and at a soccer match the following month.
Significance of Kidman’s Appearance with Taylor Sheridan at amfAR
The gala serves as a prominent fundraiser for AIDS research, with Sheridan receiving an award during the evening. Kidman presented the award and spoke about Sheridan’s impact and values.
I think what Taylor recognizes, as we all do, is that we are all more alike than we are different, and we are better when we look out for each other,
Kidman said from the stage.
And that, of course, is why we’re here tonight.
This marked the first time the two were seen together publicly, though they have worked professionally prior to this event.
Taylor Sheridan’s Personal Life and Family Background
Sheridan attended the amfAR gala with his wife, Nicole Muirbook, whom he married in 2013. The couple has one son, and Muirbook is often involved behind the scenes of Sheridan’s projects, fostering relationships with cast members and influencing creative elements on set.
Professional Collaboration Between Kidman and Sheridan Explored
In 2023, Kidman starred in Sheridan’s series Lioness on Paramount+, playing Kaitlyn Meade, the superior to the main character Joe McNamara, portrayed by Zoe Saldaña. Kidman’s performance led to a Critic’s Choice TV Awards nomination earlier this year. The series is continuing with Season 3 confirmed last week, with Kidman and much of the Season 2 cast returning.
Keith Urban’s Activities Following the Divorce Announcement
Keith Urban also made his first public appearance since the divorce filing, engaging in a series of concerts over the weekend. He performed without his wedding ring and made no public comments about his personal life during the shows, with one exception noted by attendees. Urban’s focus remained on his music career despite recent personal developments.
