Nicole Kidman is reportedly planning a move to sunny Portugal in a surprise switch for the Babygirl actress, who shares her home base in Nashville with her husband, Keith Urban.
The mother of four has lodged an application to become a Portuguese resident, as per the local media outlet SIC Notícias.
Sea change
According to the publication, Nicole submitted her application to the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) and is house hunting in Cascais, a wealthy seaside area near Lisbon. She reportedly bought a property with Keith in Parque das Nações in the nation’s capital in 2023.
Interestingly, her husband did not submit a residency request, and is getting ready to head to Australia on his High and Alive Tour.
Nicole is reportedly looking to purchase a home at Costa Terra Golf Club & Ocean Club in Comporta, where a slew of A-listers like George Clooney, Princess Eugenie and Paris Hilton own properties.

Nicole and Keith purchased the Tennessee abode for $3.4 million. The beautiful property has seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a tennis court and a swimming pool, and is ideally located in Nashville for Keith’s music career.
“It instantly felt like home to me,” the Grammy winner told Rolling Stone. “Nashville felt very familiar to me because I grew up with so much American culture.”

“Obviously, I work hard, but when I’m off, I’m off,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “Keith and I are very good at immediately clicking off because we have a really good life in Nashville that’s very simple, quiet and nourishing because we’ve made it like that.”
Taking a break

She announced her plans to take a career break in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, referencing her only two projects that were scheduled for release in 2025.
“I was much more out there last year; this year I have Holland, I have Nine Perfect Strangers, and then I’m off for the rest of the year. So, oh well!” she said.
