During her cover story interview with Vogue, the Babygirl star was asked what it felt like to be in her 50s. To which she replied, “How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?”
Journalist Wendall Steavenson, who did the interview, said she held back some questions because she “sensed” something was off between Kidman and Urban.
“During our conversation, I had guessed as much, but I didn’t want to pry,” Steavenson explained. “When I asked about how she felt now, in her 50s, I had expected to hear a nice trite response about the sagacity of age.”
Instead, Steavenson said Kidman was “wry, rueful, unsure” of herself.
Not long after the interview was done, details about Kidman and Urban’s shocking split surfaced. The couple has been separated since June.
They married in June 2006 and have two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

Another source also told the media outlet that the breakup “really hasn’t been a secret.” The couple has “been living separately for a while now.”
“People close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable,” the second source noted.
