MANILA, Philippines — Hollywood celebrity couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are ending their relationship after being married for nearly two decades.

A number of sources confirmed the split to several entertainment outlets, including TMZ, People and Variety, with the former being told Nicole and Keith had been living apart for some time now.

The same source told TMZ that Nicole has been looking after the couple's two children and was "holding the family together through this difficult time since Keith has been gone."

People's source, meanwhile, said Nicole's family, particularly her sister Antonia, have been supportive of the Oscar and Emmy winner.

"She didn't want this. She has been fighting to save the marriage," the source added.

The Australian-American couple married in June 2006 a year after dating and have two teenage daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

Nicole was previously married to fellow Hollywood star Tom Cruise, with whom she adopted two children, for 11 years.

Keith, a four-time Grammy winner, has gone on record crediting Nicole as being a pivotal part to his rehabilitation for alcohol abuse.
