Nicole Kidman is considering releasing a deeply revealing memoir as she continues to cope with the end of her marriage to Keith Urban, according to a report published by RadarOnline.com. Sources told the outlet that the 58-year-old actor has long wanted to share the full story of her rise in Hollywood as well as the complexities of her personal relationships — and now feels the time may finally be right.

According to RadarOnline.com, Kidman intends for the book to chronicle her decades-long career, including her early struggles, her major professional milestones, and the highs and lows of her private life. The memoir would address her marriage to Urban, whom she wed in 2006 and shares two daughters with, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14. Insiders claimed Kidman supported Urban through challenges related to alcohol and drugs earlier in their relationship, only to later feel blindsided when the marriage collapsed nearly twenty years on.

The outlet also reports that Kidman plans to revisit her earlier marriage to Tom Cruise, which ended in 2001 after more than a decade together. At the time, sources said she avoided writing a tell-all because it could have overshadowed her career just as she was becoming a major Hollywood figure. However, those close to her now suggest she feels she has gained enough distance — and enough accomplishments — to look back on that chapter with clarity.

RadarOnline.com further reports that Urban has moved out of the couple’s Nashville home and is rumored to be seeing a younger woman. Sources claimed he grew uncomfortable with Kidman’s more provocative on-screen roles in recent years, contributing to the pair drifting apart.

Although the actor is said to be eager to share her story, insiders told the outlet that her demanding film commitments remain the biggest obstacle. Kidman is reportedly determined to write the memoir herself and wants it to be a meaningful, well-crafted project capable of reaching a wide audience.

According to the report, Kidman views the potential book not only as a chance to reflect on her life but also as a legacy for her daughters — a way to document her experiences, challenges, and successes in her own words.
