Nicole Kidman has opened up about her split from Keith Urban months after their divorce was made public.

The *Big Little Lies *star said she was doing alright after the high-profile separation. She said she wanted to ensure her family continued to operate "as is" despite the breakup.

"I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good," the *Practical Magic *actress said in a recent interview with *Variety.* "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. 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."

Kidman, 58, filed for divorce from Urban, 58, last September after 19 years of marriage. The couple married in June 2006 and moved to Nashville the following year. They share teen daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, who will live primarily with Kidman but spend weekends with Urban.

The divorce was finalized in January. As part of the separation agreement, each party agreed they "will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent" to their children.

"They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families," the agreement continued.

Kidman told *Variety* that she would continue to live in Nashville, where she often spends time with her friend and former costar, Reese Witherspoon.

"We have our life here," Kidman said. "I’m part of the city and community for 20 years. It’s my home. "

While their divorce was announced on Sept. 30 of last year, Kidman had hinted at their split weeks before. She had shared how she had been "lean[ing] on a close circle of girlfriends" in Nashville during an interview with *Vogue *that took place before the announcement.

"How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn't going in that direction?" she said at the time.
