“If Anyone’s to Blame, It’s Keith”: Isla Fisher Breaks Her Silence on Nicole Kidman’s Divorce — and Hollywood Can’t Believe What She Just Said
Hollywood just got a new shockwave — and it didn’t come from a red carpet. Australian actress Isla Fisher has spoken out for the first time about Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s sudden divorce, and her words have left fans — and insiders — reeling.
During a candid interview on the Fly on the Wall podcast with Dana Carvey and David Spade, Fisher admitted she was “really, really, really shocked” to hear the news, calling the split something “no one saw coming.”
But it was what she said next that lit up Hollywood. “If anyone’s to blame, it’s definitely Keith,” Fisher said flatly — her tone calm, but her message crystal clear.
A Friendship Tested
The two actresses have shared a close bond for years, often seen together at Australian film events and family gatherings. Fisher’s loyalty to Kidman was unmistakable as she struggled to hide her disappointment over the end of the 19-year marriage. “I’ve left a message, but we haven’t connected yet,” Fisher added carefully. “I don’t really want to comment more because there are children involved.”
Behind that restraint, though, sources say Isla’s heartbreak mirrors Nicole’s. “She’s been one of Nicole’s truest friends,” one insider told NewsAnchor360. “She knows how much Nicole fought for this marriage — and how hard it hit her when it finally fell apart.”
“She Didn’t Want This”
According to close family sources, Nicole Kidman didn’t initiate the divorce.
“She has been fighting to save the marriage,” one insider told PEOPLE. “But at some point, she had to accept it was over.”
Kidman and Urban, who married in 2006, share two daughters — Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. After confirming the split on September 29, Kidman filed for divorce the next day in Nashville, where the couple had lived since 2007.
“Nicole’s sister Antonia has been her rock,” another source added. “The whole Kidman family has closed ranks around her.”
Keith Urban’s Turn to Speak
Just weeks ago, Keith Urban broke his silence onstage during his final tour stop.
“I can’t keep quiet anymore,” he said before performing a song fans believe he wrote for Nicole. Witnesses said he looked “broken, but honest.”
But for many, that apology came too late. “Keith’s been distant for a long time,” an insider said. “By the time he realized what he was losing, Nicole had already made peace with walking away.”
Nicole’s Next Chapter
Since the split, Kidman has retreated into the things that ground her most — her work and her family.
After a quiet trip to Europe, she’s been spotted smiling again, surrounded by her daughters and close friends. “She’s focusing on what she can control,” a source told NewsAnchor360. “She believes everything happens for a reason. She’s not bitter — she’s free.”
And as for Isla Fisher, she says watching her friend endure the heartbreak has reminded her of her own journey through divorce earlier this year from Sacha Baron Cohen. “You find out who you really are when the cameras stop,” Fisher said softly.
A Hollywood Friendship Built to Last
Despite the media frenzy, Isla Fisher’s support for Kidman remains unwavering — and fans online have rallied behind her blunt honesty.
One viral comment summed it up: “Isla said what everyone’s been thinking — Nicole deserved better.”
Another fan wrote, “You can always tell who your real friends are when the world falls apart. Isla is that friend.”
For now, Nicole Kidman is staying quiet, Keith Urban is trying to move forward, and Isla Fisher just gave Hollywood something to talk about.
Because sometimes, it’s not the divorce itself that shocks the world —It’s the truth that comes after.
