The separation of Kidman and Urban was first reported by TMZ but later confirmed by other outlets on Monday, September 29.
According to People, Kidman filed for divorce from the country star on Tuesday, September 30. They had been married for 19 years.
The song was apparently about Kidman
Urban once told Billboard in 2017 that the song, which is off his ninth studio album Ripcord, was inspired by the early days of his romance with Kidman.
“It’s all from a conversation my wife and I had early on in our relationship, that when things get tough, I need to hold her tighter and just try to take care of her,” he said.
He went on to explain the song
“The song is about wanting to heal somebody, wanting to take care of somebody, wanting to protect somebody. It’s really like a vow in so many ways,” Urban continued at the time, referring to Kidman as ‘female and tender’.
He explained at the time that he wanted to protect her
Urban went on, “I want that tenderness to not have to get hardened to the world.”
“That’s my job as her husband, to put myself around her so she can remain that way. And that’s really the chorus of The Fighter.”
