Nicole Kidman Spills On Career Pivot And Chanel Comeback Amid Keith Urban Split

Nicole Kidman’s New Chapter: From Silver Screen to Pen and Paper

Hollywood’s darling Nicole Kidman is ready to trade her script lines for storylines, y’all. The 58-year-old Aussie transplant, who’s been a SoCal staple on the red carpet for decades, is teasing a major career pivot after her recent split from country star Keith Urban. In a candid chat for Vogue’s November cover, Nicole spilled that she’s been itching to dive into writing, a creative outlet sparked by her personal journaling habit.

Picture this: Nicole scribbling down her dreams, then torching the pages in some kinda therapeutic LA ritual. “I’m thinking about putting pen to paper for real,” she hinted, suggesting there’s a treasure trove of ideas brewing in her mind. With a career that’s dazzled us from blockbuster flicks to indie gems, this potential shift feels like a Hollywood plot twist we didn’t see coming - but we’re here for it.

Reflecting on why she hasn’t written or directed before, Nicole kept it real, blaming a packed schedule. But now, with personal changes on the horizon, she’s calling this possible move a “necessity.” Could this be her way of channeling that post-divorce energy into something fresh? We’re keeping our eyes peeled for her debut manuscript.

Heartbreak on the Horizon: Divorce from Keith Urban

While Nicole’s career is heating up, her personal life has hit a rough patch straight outta a Malibu soap opera. After 19 years of marriage, she’s filed for divorce from Keith Urban, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The power couple, who first locked eyes in 2005 and said “I do” in June 2006, share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

This split has Tinseltown buzzing, especially since Nicole’s staying mum on the deets. But if her focus on new projects is any clue, she’s not letting heartbreak dim her shine. LA’s gossip mills are already spinning with theories - was it the grind of Hollywood or just time taking its toll? Either way, we’re rooting for both to find their groove post-separation.

“I’ve gotta reinvent myself, and writing feels like the next step to tell my story on my terms,” Nicole reportedly shared, hinting at how this career shift ties into her personal journey.

Chanel Comeback: Nicole’s Fashion Forward Move

Nicole isn’t just rewriting her career - she’s also reclaiming her spot in the fashion game with a triumphant return to Chanel. On October 7, she dropped the news that she’s back as an ambassador for the iconic house, just as Matthieu Blazy steps in as the new creative director. “I’m stoked to join Chanel in this fresh era with Matthieu leading the charge,” Nicole gushed, hyping her love for Haute Couture.

Matthieu’s just as thrilled, name-dropping Nicole’s epic history with Chanel - from her unforgettable Baz Luhrmann ad to slaying countless red carpet looks. “Reuniting with Nicole now at Chanel is a dream,” he said. With her eye for style, Nicole’s already buzzing about wearing Matthieu’s creations, comparing his vision to the legendary Karl Lagerfeld’s game-changing era.

This partnership is pure Hollywood glam meets Parisian chic, and we can’t wait to see Nicole rock those couture fits at the next big LA premiere. It’s a reminder that even amidst personal storms, she’s still a style queen ready to rule the runway.

Back to Work: Nicole’s Upcoming Thriller

Don’t think Nicole’s slowing down on the acting front, though - she’s got her hands full with a new gig. Come 2026, she’ll start filming Discretion, a legal thriller heading to Paramount+ with eight gripping episodes. Based on Chandler Baker’s short story, this project is set to keep her in the spotlight while she explores her writing dreams on the side.

With filming kicking off in the new year, Nicole’s diving into work like it’s a Venice Beach surf session - full throttle. This series could be the perfect distraction from her personal upheavals, and knowing her knack for intense roles, we’re betting she’ll slay it. Keep your streaming apps ready, SoCal fam, ‘cause Nicole’s about to serve some serious drama.
