Keith Urban, the country crooner whose velvet voice has healed hearts for decades, was poised to hand Nicole Kidman full custody and their £500 million fortune in a “clean break” divorce filing on September 30, 2025, but his “final move” – invoking a hidden “cocaine clause” from their 2006 prenup that awards him $600,000 per year of marriage for remaining sober – has turned the split into a shockwave that’s rippling through Hollywood and Nashville, a “surrender” flipped to standoff that’s left fans reeling and the power couple’s legacy in limbo. The clause, a “sobriety stake” inserted after Urban’s 2006 rehab stint (Kidman’s “intervention” a lifeline), was meant to “incentivize” his recovery, but its activation now nets him £11.4 million (£600k x 19 years), a “final move” that’s “exploded” the “all yours” offer into acrimony.

The “shockwave”? Seismic: Urban, 58, filed first in Nashville, offering “full custody” of daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, and “entire fortune” in a “amicable” bid, but Kidman’s L.A. countersuit invoked the clause, her lawyers arguing “sober success” was “contingent on sobriety,” the “£600k per year” a payout that’s “prenup poison” per TMZ. “Keith was ready to walk away clean – but the clause claws him back,” a source sighed, the “surrender” a siren for sobriety’s price. Kidman, 58, silent via reps, but her Babygirl promo (October 2025) glow dims with the shade, daughters “devastated” per People.

The “final move”? A masterful maneuver: The prenup, drafted by Hollywood heavyweight Laura Wasser, was a “safety net” for Urban’s “addiction” (2006 codeine crisis), the “cocaine clause” a cocaine for his career (£200M net worth). Now, it’s a net for Nicole’s “no-fault” narrative, the “shockwave” a wave of whispers: “Sober for the stack?” Fans fracture: #UrbanUnfair racks 4.2M posts, “Claws too sharp!” vs. “Sober success earned!”

This isn’t divorce dirge; it’s a dirge for deals done dark, Urban’s “final” a finale of fortune’s folly. The clause? Clawing. September 30? Not filing – a flare-up. Fans? Flooded with fire. The world’s watching – whispering “what next?” The fortune? Fractured, fierce.
