Nicole Kidman filed for divorce
The backstory:
Kidman, 58, filed for divorce on Sept. 30 from the country singer.
According to PEOPLE, Kidman filed for divorce in Nashville, where the couple has lived since 2007.
TMZ noted that Kidman cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce.
"She wants to remain the ‘primary residential parent of the minor children.’ Both Nicole and Keith waived any spousal support and child support. There is, however, a clause which states Keith has prepaid ‘child support obligations.’ And they each will retain their own assets, which suggests there is a prenup," TMZ wrote.
