“She’s been holding the family together,” a source shared, adding that Kidman has been deeply committed to salvaging the marriage.

Urban is said to have moved out of their shared Nashville home and into a separate residence nearby.

While the couple has not officially filed for divorce, the future of their relationship remains uncertain.
