The 58-year-old has become the center of attention following the announcement of her separation from her musician husband but downplayed the impact of online scrutiny. ‘Literally walk away from it because it will fell you. It will destroy you,’ Kidman stated frankly. This new feature marked her 41st magazine cover, including their Australian and UK editions. While Kidman didn’t directly discuss the divorce during the interview, she was described as ‘wry, rueful, unsure of herself’ when reflecting on her feelings in her 50s.

‘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?’ she posed, highlighting the significance of ‘ride-or-die friendships.’ She further contemplated: ‘So much to say and so little time to say it. About death and life and joy and grief and loss and [intercourse] and why we’re here and what is truth and is truth even necessary.’ The Hollywood star also addressed her penchant for steamy roles throughout her career, noting her uncertainty about her attraction to such characters.

Kidman conveyed to the publication that she is actually quite introverted in person, adding: ‘[Intercourse] is an important part of our lives and is still, a lot of times, taboo, and it shouldn’t be.’ She revealed her separation from Urban, clearly delineating the conclusion of their 19-year marriage. She filed for the marriage to be dissolved last Tuesday, citing irreconcilable differences, amid reports that Urban has already moved on with an unidentified female musician.

A Nashville music business insider indicated: ‘The rumor is that he’s with a younger woman in the business. It’s what everyone is talking about. Everyone’s eager to discover who, but her identity remains unknown.’ Neither party is seeking spousal support: Urban, a New Zealand-born Australian artist, is worth an estimated $75 million, while Kidman, the Hawaiian-born Australian actress, has amassed over $250 million. It surfaced that the pair established a parenting plan over the summer, granting Kidman primary custody of their teenage daughters – 306 days annually compared to Urban’s 59.

He is allowed visitation from 10am on Saturday until 6pm on Sunday, every alternate weekend. Holiday schedules were outlined too: he receives every Father’s Day, while she gets Mother’s Day and Easter. Thanksgivings and Christmases alternate yearly. Urban signed the document on August 29, and Kidman followed suit on September 6. By Wednesday, being cooped up overwhelmed Kidman, prompting her to go on a hike with her journalist sister, Antonia, 55. The two were seen engaging in lively conversation on the streets near Kidman’s Nashville residence.

Urban on Thursday landed in Hershey, Pennsylvania – notably not wearing his wedding ring. He performed that night for the first time since the split was made public. Baugh sat the concert out. Currently on his ‘High and Alive’ tour, on Friday he was performing in Connecticut, and on Saturday night in Virginia. This stretch of his world tour wraps up on October 17 in Nashville. ‘He isn’t going through a midlife crisis,’ another source close Kidman said. ‘He is going through changes in his personal and professional life, and they just happen to be happening all at once.

‘He is just going through a rough patch, and this will eventually pass, and he will make it on the other side. ‘He’s just fallen out of love with Nicole, and the decisions that have had to be made are ones that were and are important to him, as he knows that they aren’t getting back together.’ Now, Kidman has her work to take her mind off things. Current projects include producing the thriller ‘The Silent Wife,’ and developing the film ‘Love, Pain and the Whole Damn Thing.’

She attended the Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday along with her daughters, dressed in a white button-down shirt and blue trousers. In a video taken by Vogue magazine, Nicole spoke to the camera while preparing for the show, and said: ‘We’re getting ready for the Chanel show, I’m just very nervous. She was asked, do you feel nervous? And she replied: ‘Yeah I do, I have my daughters coming with me.

‘But I’m very excited for Matthieu [Blazy] because this is a big moment for him, so to be able to celebrate him with his first show with Chanel is the beginning of an incredible journey together. It’s exciting, right’. Nicole also touched on reconnecting with the brand, and said: ‘They asked me to become global ambassador for Chanel again, it feels like coming home – which is an amazing feeling. ‘I think Matthieu [Blazy] brings his essence to the house, so I’m so excited to be on a journey with him in this way and to be able to announce it to Vogue.’
