Nicole Kidman Celebrates Galentine’s Day and Embraces Life After Divorce
Nicole Kidman rang in the Valentine’s weekend by spotlighting female friendship, posting a quiet bedroom snap to mark Galentine’s Day and signaling a new chapter after her January 2026 divorce was finalized. The actress has been centering her time on family, friendships and work as she steps into single life.
A soft, sunlit Galentine’s moment
On Feb. 13, 2026 (ET), Kidman shared a photo of herself in a pink striped button-down, seated on the edge of a bed and smiling softly. Her simple caption—"Happy Galentines"—was accompanied by warm responses from friends and fans who praised her glow and spirit. The image emphasized a relaxed, quietly celebratory mood rather than overt spectacle.
Friends and family rally
Messages from close friends filled the comments, offering support as she navigates life post-marriage. The actress has leaned on longtime pals and family members during the transition, and the Galentine’s post reflected that network of female support. Those on her inner circle have been visible in recent weeks, both in public photos and in social exchanges that underscore strong, ongoing friendships.
Antarctica trip and quality time with daughters
In late January, Kidman took what she called a "once in a lifetime adventure" to Antarctica with her daughters and other family members. The short escape came amid proceedings around the end of her marriage and provided a chance for privacy and reconnection. Her two daughters—now teenagers—remain a central focus as she balances parenting with public life.
Parenting plan settled in January
The divorce was finalized in January 2026 (ET), with court documents outlining a detailed parenting plan. Kidman was granted primary custody for the majority of the year, while the co-parenting arrangement provides for every-other-weekend parenting time. The plan spells out a custodial split that gives Kidman 306 days of custody and the other parent 59 days, reflecting a schedule designed around the children’s routines and needs.
Work on the horizon
Despite personal upheaval, Kidman remains professionally active. She is attached to several projects that keep her in the public eye, including a leading role in an upcoming series and a highly anticipated sequel. Her ability to move between high-profile work commitments and family life has been on display this season, signaling a busy year ahead.
What this moment represents
The Galentine’s post read as more than a holiday greeting; it was a public affirmation of community and resilience. For an actress whose career and personal life have long been spotlighted, the image offered a controlled, gentle statement: prioritizing loved ones and personal well-being while maintaining professional momentum. As she continues to balance parenthood, travel and new projects, the tone of Kidman’s recent public outings suggests a deliberate, measured shift into the next phase of her life.
