BREAKING: Nicole Kidman has officially filed for divorce from Keith Urban, citing “irreconcilable differences”. This shocking announcement comes just days after the couple publicly displayed what appeared to be affection during red carpet events. After 19 years of marriage and two daughters, fans are reeling from the news.
Body language expert Judi James weighed in on the couple’s recent appearances, claiming their public displays of affection were “performative” rather than genuine. Speaking to DailyMail, James noted that while Kidman often showcased her affection through exaggerated gestures, Urban seemed more distant and reluctant.
“Nicole is always a fan of a brand of highly theatrical ‘performative passion’,” James stated, adding that their appearances often resembled a “screen test for her next movie role”. Despite their smiles, James observed signs of strain, suggesting that their connection may not be as strong as portrayed.
The expert pointed out specific moments where Kidman attempted to draw Urban closer, using flirtatious gestures and affectionate touches. “As he steps in, she performs a double hand clasp, sending some coy, coaxing signals,” James explained. However, Urban’s body language indicated otherwise, maintaining a noticeable distance during their public outings.
Despite the couple’s efforts to project a loving image, James highlighted the underlying challenges that may have contributed to their split. “Keith still appears reluctant in this little ‘dance of doom’,” she remarked, noting Kidman’s attempts to create signals of togetherness fell flat.
As fans digest this unexpected news, the implications of their divorce resonate deeply. Kidman and Urban’s relationship has long been seen as a Hollywood fairytale, making this development all the more poignant. The couple’s fans are left wondering what led to this decision and how it will impact their two daughters.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story, as more details about the split and its repercussions are expected to emerge.
