The longtime couple married in June 2006 and share daughters Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated, PEOPLE confirms.

The Oscar-winning actress, 58, and the country singer, 57, have split, and a source tells PEOPLE exclusively: “Nicole’s sister [Antonia] has been a rock and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another.”

“She didn’t want this,” adds the source. “She has been fighting to save the marriage.”

TMZ was first to report news of the breakup, citing sources who said the pair have been living apart since the beginning of the summer.

The longtime couple married in June 2006 and share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Kidman was previously married to Tom Cruise.

On June 25, Kidman shared a photo of herself cuddled up to Urban on Instagram to commemorate their wedding anniversary. “Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban,” she wrote.

Kidman, who recently wrapped filming Practical Magic 2 in London, shared “summer memories” on Instagram Aug. 19, showing time spent with her daughters and extended family. Urban has been on tour, with his next stop scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 2, in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

In April 2024, Kidman told PEOPLE about her “lovely” family support system, saying at the time, “I’m so lucky that I have Keith, who’s just my love, my deep, deep love. That gives me the ability to go and do whatever I have to do because I know where I can come back to.”

The mother of Michigan church gunman Thomas Sanford made an ominous social media post about the battles of engaging with someone who “constantly avoids accountability” — just days before her ex-Marine son unleashed his deadly rampage.

Sanford’s mom, Brenda Walters-Sanford, posted the eerie message on Facebook before Sunday’s carnage at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, according to screenshots circulating online.

“Talking to someone who constantly avoids accountability is not a real conversation — it’s a battle. It’s a cycle of deflection, projection, twisting, and playing the victim,” read the post on her since-deleted account, which was obtained by the Daily Mail.

“When I try to express how your actions have hurt me, you don’t listen with the intention of understanding; you listen with the intention of defending yourself. That’s not communication — that’s self-preservation of your ego.”

The post appeared to be part of a viral chain that often gets reposted by scores of users.

“I don’t owe my peace to someone who only wants to win an argument, not to understand my heart. My energy is not a prize for someone committed to misunderstanding me. At some point, you have to value yourself enough to stop begging someone to hear you,” the post read.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the mom was referring to anyone specific.

Other posts on her account showed support for President Trump, as well a photo of her son hunting.
Trump, for his part, blasted Sunday’s shooting as an attack on Christians in the wake of the violence that left at least four dead and eight others injured.

The FBI was still trying to determine what motivated the Iraq War vet to ram his US flag-adorned pickup truck into the church and open fire as services were in full swing.

Sanford later set fire to the church while hundreds of people were still inside.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday indicated the gunman “hated people of the Mormon faith.”

“From what I understand based on my conversations with the FBI director, all they know right now is this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon faith,” Leavitt told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” on Monday morning without elaborating.

“They are trying to understand more about this: how premeditated it was, how much planning went into it, whether he left a note.”

Investigators have been scouring Sanford’s home but authorities haven’t publicly disclosed any further details on him –- including whether he was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Donald Trump‘s White House has a bone to pick with Ariana Grande … after she reposted a message on IG criticizing his administration.

Desai goes on to say … “He even signed an executive order just like magic that paved the way for the FTC to crack down on Ticketmaster for ripping off Ariana Grande’s concert-going fans. Get well soon, Ariana!”

Ariana has always been vocal about her political beliefs … publicly supporting Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election and backing Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic primary.

Michigan church shooter Thomas Sanford raged against Mormons to a candidate for city council in his hometown just days before burning a Latter-day Saints church to the ground and opening fire on congregants, calling the religion “the antichrist.”

Kris Johns, 44, who is running for a seat on the Burton City Council, told the Detroit Free Press he was canvassing on Sept. 22 when he encountered an “extremely friendly” Sanford as he was door-knocking constituents.

The two chatted for about 20 minutes, Sanford at one point opening up about his time serving in Iraq as a US Marine and struggling with drug addiction upon returning home.

Johns told the outlet the conversation took “a very sharp turn” as the subject of religious faith was brought up, Sanford saying he had a relationship with a woman whose family was Mormon when he lived in Utah.

The council candidate — who has since been in contact with Michigan State Police and the FBI — said Sanford peppered him with questions about the tenets of the Mormon faith, the role Jesus plays in the religion, the history of the church, and its founder Joseph Smith.

“It was very much standard anti-LDS talking points that you would find on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook,” he told the outlet.

“I just didn’t know what the next question was going to be.”

Sanford then stated that he considered Mormonism “the antichrist.”

Johns said he recognized Sanford instantly when he started seeing his image on TV and social media posts.

“There’s certain things you don’t forget,” he said. “This is not a forgettable guy.”

Sanford, 40, crashed his Chevy Silverado truck into the front door of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in neighboring Grand Blanc on Sunday, before exiting the vehicle and shooting at worshippers with an assault rifle. Authorities said there were hundreds of congregants inside at the time.

He also set the church on fire, destroying the structure.

At least four people have been killed so far, and eight others injured. However, authorities said there could be more casualties who died inside the burning church.

Police visited the child’s Iowa home, where they found the mother allegedly being held against her will

A child in Iowa may have saved their mother’s life after passing a note to a school bus driver that read, “Call 911.”

The student passed the note to the driver just before 7:30 a.m. local time on Wednesday, Sept. 24, according to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO), per News 13, ABC 6 and CBS 2. The driver alerted authorities, and police then went to a home in Westgate, a rural area of the county, to investigate, per News 13 and ABC 6.

Upon arriving at the home, police found that the child’s mother was allegedly being held against her will by 29-year-old Glenroy Miller of the Bahamas.

Miller is accused of having assaulted the woman several times throughout the night, kicking her with enough force to break two ribs and puncture her lung, per News 13.

Authorities also said the mother was unable to call for help in front of the suspect, so she wrote a note on a piece of paper and gave it to her child, per News 13 and CBS 2.

The child is currently in first grade, according to a legal complaint obtained by News 13.

Miller was arrested that morning, per Fayette County public arrest records.

He has been charged with armed kidnapping, willful injury, domestic abuse assault with the intent to inflict serious injuries and obstruction of emergency communications, according to public court records.

Miller is currently being held on a $1,500 bond, public arrest records show. He is also being detained through Immigration and Customs Enforcement, per News 13 and CBS 2.

She says people paid top dollar — in fact, tickets on resale markets are currently sitting in the $1,500 range for the cheap seats … and, she wants to give her fans the best performance she can.

Don’t think DP’s retiring though … she says she thinks God’s just telling her to slow down a bit — and, she’ll still be working on a few projects in Nashville.

A teenager who was a popular guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show has died after a long health battle and cancer diagnosis.

Anderson was born with only the right side of his heart, undergoing underwent 12 surgeries by the time he was nine.

Anderson was born with only the right side of his heart, undergoing 12 surgeries by the time he was nine.

He had a heart transplant at just ten years old which lead to post-transplant lymphoma in his teens.

He was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2024 at 18.

By the summer of 2025, the cancer had spread to his pelvis, spine, abdomen, chest and neck, according to the GoFundMe page his family set up to pay for hospice care.

He was given just four months to live.

Three months later, his family announced his death on September 26 when he was just 19 years old.

In their tribute to him his family wrote: ‘While our souls feel shattered and lost by this unimaginable grief, we are so thankful that Tayt is finally free. No more pain, no more appointments, no more treatments.

‘Tayt was loved by so many, and he impacted countless lives with his incredible smile, his quiet strength, his kindness, and his beautiful love.’

When he was born, doctors said he would live for no more than three months.

Despite his health struggles, Tayt lived a full life. He traveled, graduated high school, and acted as a beacon to countless families just like his.

Anderson first appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2013 after the host learned that the then seven-year-old loved her show and referred to her as his ‘girlfriend.’

She told Tayt that he was her ‘only boyfriend.’

His mother Chrissy Becker explained that the boy loved to turn on DeGeneres’s show during his hospital visits. He even made his doctors and nurses watch with him.

She said they had to schedule their visits around the show’s air time and he would tell doctors to leave if they came in while he was watching.

Andersen appeared on the show several times, most notably in 2015 when he stopped by to tell her that he had finally got a new heart.

Chrissy told DeGeneres that her show and her support lifted Anderson’s spirits, even helping him recover quickly during rough hospital stays.

He was also a fan of Ellen’s character Dory and adopted her mantra ‘just keep swimming’ throughout his treatment.

Even doctors knew how much she had helped her son.

Chrissy said: ‘They have noticed that when Tayt struggles you always seem to come in and give him the boost that he needs.’

Throughout their appearances on the show, Ellen and her team sponsored Andersen’s family with money, gifts, vacations, iPads, and even a new car.

After hearing about his death, DeGeneres posted a video talking about how much he’d meant to her.

She said: ‘He was a very special little human being. Just brought joy and life and laughter into every room that he was in. And I will miss him.’

Iraq War veteran Thomas Sanford ID’d as gunman who attacked Grand Blanc LDS church, killing 2 and setting it ablaze

The deranged madman who killed at least two people and wounded nine others at a Michigan Latter-day Saints church, torching the building and opening fire on fleeing congregants and their families, has been identified as 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, The Post can confirm.

Sanford, a US Marine veteran, according to his mom’s Facebook page, rammed his Chevy Silverado truck into the building before unleashing the assault on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, armed with a semi-automatic rifle.

An old Facebook post by Sanford’s mother says the gunman — who died at the scene in a shootout with cops — who served in Iraq from 2004-2008.

Law enforcement sources confirmed that Sanford, from nearby Burton, Michigan, is the line suspect.

The source of the blaze was not immediately known, but sources told The Post authorities found several improvised explosive devices on church property which a bomb squad was investigating.

Cops said there were hundreds of worshippers inside when the attack began, and that an unknown number of victims could be found inside once the building is safe to enter after a massive blaze consumed nearly the entire building, aerial footage showing an enormous plume of choking black smoke rising up from the structure.

Social media accounts believed to be connected to Sanford show he’s a family man, with a wife and young son.

A dormant GoFundMe page from 2015 raised more than $3,000 for the couple’s now-10-year-old son who was born with congenital hyperinsulinism, or CHI, a rare, genetic condition where the pancreas releases too much insulin.

Pictures from the Sanfords’ Facebook page show the family smiling, posing in the beds of pickup trucks or in a field of tall sunflowers.

Ohio State University confirmed to PEOPLE that the deceased is William Meyers, a 19-year-old student from Fairfield, Conn.

An Ohio State University student has been found dead inside the school’s football stadium.

Fire officials in Columbus responded to a call to the scene on Friday, Sept. 26, at 9:56 a.m. local time, per The Columbus Dispatch.

In a statement obtained by PEOPLE, the university confirmed that there was a “fatality at the stadium” that morning and identified the deceased student as 19-year-old William Meyers of Fairfield, Conn.

“Foul play is not suspected and there is no ongoing threat to the community,” the university added in the statement.

Meyers’ cause of death has not yet been released.

The university continued, “Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. Counseling and Consultation Services are available for students in need of support by calling 614-292-5766.”

PEOPLE reached out to the Ohio State University Police as well as the Columbus Division of Fire for comment on Sunday, Sept. 28, but did not receive immediate responses.

According to Meyers’ LinkedIn profile, he was a third-year accounting student who co-founded a charity with his older brother that donated used and unused sports equipment to local centers.

The incident comes a year after another tragedy at the Ohio State football stadium. Larissa Brady, 53, died by suicide during the university’s spring commencement ceremony in May 2024 after she jumped from the stands and fell 100 feet to the ground, per NPR. She was there to attend her daughter’s graduation, according to the outlet.
