Speaking to Variety, Nicole Kidman shared that she was doing "all right", explaining how her personal issues forced her into a retreat.

"Last year, I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell. I'm always going to be moving toward what's good. What I'm grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That's that. Everything else I don't discuss out of respect," she said, as quoted by Variety.

Kidman went on to share that they will remain a family.

"I'm staying in a place of 'We are a family,' and that's what we'll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women," she added.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, the former power couple went their separate ways over the last summer. They are parents to daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

"Sometimes relationships just run their course," a source told Page Six at the time, though Kidman allegedly "did not want the separation and was trying to save things" prior to the split.
