Nicole Kidman applies for residency permit in European country — but Keith Urban is not mentioned
The Babygirl actress, 58, submitted her paperwork to the country's immigration agency earlier this week, according to local media outlet SIC Notícias.
Kidman, who was seen stepping out of a private jet in Cascais — a wealthy seaside enclave just outside of Lisbon — has reportedly been browsing for a lavish pad in one of Portugal's most exclusive gated communities, reports The New York Post.
But notably absent from her application was husband Keith Urban, whose name did not appear on any documents.
However, The Post understands that the Blue Ain't Your Colour singer, 57, wasn't mentioned in any paperwork because he was unable to break away from touring at the time.
'Keith was unable to be in Portugal for this appointment as he is currently on tour in the US and it is mandatory for applicants to be physically present in order to apply for the visa,' a source with knowledge of the situation exclusively told The Post.
'He is scheduled to submit his application at a later date that works with his tour schedule. While Nicole and Keith own a home in Portugal, their primary residence will continue to be in Nashville.'
Kidman is said to be eyeing up a property at the celeb-loved, 722-acre CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club — a plush development about 130km south of Lisbon.
The luxury development is a known favourite among the Hollywood elite, including George Clooney and Paris Hilton, and is also a base for royal family member Princess Eugenie.
It is also where Prince Harry and Meghan were rumoured to have purchased a property last year.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were said to have splashed out on one of 300 soon-to-be constructed residences belonging to the luxe complex, reportedly costing them more than $US4.7 million.
CostaTerra is part of Discovery Land Company, an enterprise founded by Mike Meldman, who, along with George Clooney, invested in the billion-dollar tequila company, Casamigos.
And while Urban didn't file any documents on his part, The Post can confirm that he and the Eyes Wide Shut actress already own a plush pad in Lisbon.
The Post has reached out to Kidman's reps for comment.
Kidman and the country crooner, 57, share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15.
The foursome is known to divide their time between the US and Australia, which could soon see Europe thrown into the mix.
Since tying the knot in 2006, the duo has accumulated an impressive international real estate portfolio.
Over the past nearly two decades, the couple has purchased two penthouses in the exclusive North Sydney Latitude building, combining the two to make one huge condo.
The pair's first joint purchase came one year after their wedding, when they signed on the dotted line for a 36-acre estate in Franklin, Tennessee, for over $3 million.
The following year, they upgraded to a lavish mansion in Nashville's exclusive Northumberland community, which they added to the growing portfolio that already boasts properties in Manhattan, Sydney, and New South Wales.

Tom Cruise's new girlfriend Ana de Armas caught ‘liking' shady Nicole Kidman post
Tom Cruise's rumoured new girlfriend Ana de Armas has been busted 'liking' a shady post about Nicole Kidman. The Cuban-US actress, 37, has all but confirmed reports she's dating the Hollywood heavyweight, 63, after the pair were spotted holding hands for the first time in Vermont at the weekend. Now, de Armas has raised serious eyebrows over her suspicious social media activity . The Ballerina star's official Instagram account liked a post criticising the Australian actress for previously denying she'd had any cosmetic work done. The post in question was shared in February by celebrity troll account Celeb Mess, which uploads unflattering images of celebrities daily - opening up the floor for them to be ridiculed for their appearances in the comment section. Celeb Mess shared side-by-side images of Kidman looking markedly different: The first was taken in 1996, and the second from 2024. The post also featured screenshots from an interview the Oscar-winner did with Marie Claire in 2007, in which she said, 'I am completely natural. I have nothing in my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke.' While it's not known exactly when de Armas hit the like button, as of publication, she still appears to be in the list of 'likes'. Interestingly, the post was shared the same month de Armas was first linked to the Top Gun star. The post has only just come to attention in recent days, with dozens of comments from users questioning why de Armas would endorse it. 'Ana de Armas liking this and now she's the girlfriend of Tom Cruise well well well,' one wrote. 'Why the f**k Ana,' another said. 'ANA YOU WEIRD,' a third added. 'It's nuts she cares,' a fourth wrote. 'That's kinda nasty,' said another. Kidman was famously married to Cruise from 1990 until their highly-publicised divorce in 2001. They shared two children, including Isabella Jane, whom they adopted as a newborn in 1992, as well as Connor, whom they also adopted as a newborn in 1995. While rumours have circled over the years Kidman is no longer close with the pair, who chose to live with Cruise after the couple split, the Big Little Lies star has always refuted these claims. Kidman later married fellow Aussie Keith Urban after they met at the G'Day USA Gala in 2005. The couple, who wed 18 years ago, share two children, daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Cruise married Katie Holmes in 2006 until their relationship breakdown in 2012. They share a daughter, Suri, who is now 19. It's understood the college student has no contact with her father, though remains close with Holmes.

Fashion model learning to be a man after being pushed to transition at age 15: ‘I was really crazy on the hormones'
In Catholic churches across Manhattan and Brooklyn, Salomé captivated the congregation, uplifting the faithful with her soulful singing and skilled organ playing. The New York Archdiocese Organist Training Program enrollee's musical gifts had her booking gigs across the city. But for years, Salomé's bashful smile and angelic voice concealed a secret — one not even known in the shadows of the confessional. She was a he; Salomé was born Miles. His story is one that's becoming all too familiar: A child with unconventional interests, swayed by strange ideologies on the Internet, is hustled by doctors into a life of medical dependency — only to find himself questioning everything years later. 'They very quickly put me on hormones without really any discernment. Looking back, if I were a doctor, I would think this is a much larger decision than the kid thinks that it is,' he tells The Post. Miles Yardley, as his female persona Salomé, arrived in the Big Apple in 2022 from his native Pennsylvania. He (then she) quickly became the toast of New York's downtown fashion scene. Yardley signed a modeling contract, was featured in a Marc Jacobs perfume ad shot by famed photographer Juergen Teller, exhibited for Enfants Riches Déprimés, and strutted Fashion Week runways for designers Batsheva and Elena Velez — all while singing in parishes and mentoring Catholic schoolchildren in music. Soon Yardley was a regular bohemian socialite, a fixture on podcasts, even flown to Romania to meet the Tate brothers, with virtually everyone unaware of Salomé's secret. But a deepening Catholic faith and a medical scare led Yardley to question how he'd been living his life. Just as quickly as he'd burst onto the scene, early this year Yardley gave it all up and ditched Manhattan's trendy underbelly for a fresh start in sunny California. 'I had to move to LA to detransition because I was like, I don't want to have this conversation with people. I don't want to tell the people hiring me or the parents of the students that I teach that I'm actually a man. I just couldn't deal with that,' Yardley, now 27, tells The Post from his new home in Los Angeles. Yardley signed a modeling contract soon after moving to New York in 2022. Picture: @DollPariah/X In April 2024, Yardley was diagnosed with pituitary adenoma — a type of brain tumor. He also has hypothyroidism. Both conditions have suspected links to hormone therapy. Picture: @DollPariah/X At 15, Yardley found himself a patient in the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's gender clinic. He'd been late to start puberty and had interests in singing and dancing. Classmates began to ask if he was gay or a girl. He'd never heard of transgenderism. 'I had not questioned my own identity before other people started asking me questions and putting that on me,' he says. After only his second appointment, a Children's Hospital of Philadelphia doctor put Yardley on androgen blockers and later estrogen therapy, calling him 'the perfect example' of a transgender child. 'I thought that there would be less social friction for me if I looked like a female because so many people were assuming me to be that way. And I was not super comfortable with people assuming I was gay,' Yardley says. For many years, everything seemed fine. He graduated from high school, taught music at a West Philadelphia Catholic school, and enrolled in Temple University to study music. In fact, he felt that being transgender gave him an edge. As a singer, his voice remained a soprano. He then met an in-crowder from New York who persuaded him to move to the city and pursue modeling — 'but only if you lose 20 pounds.' 'I think I benefited from the [trans] identity in terms of being a model, being a socialite, a party attendee in New York City, and it was a cool, cosmopolitan, artistic thing to be doing with your body,' Yardley says. 'I had entered a different world, where everyone thought I was really cool.' In April 2024, Yardley was diagnosed with pituitary adenoma — a type of brain tumor — and has hypothyroidism. Both conditions have suspected links to hormone therapy. At the same time, Yardley was becoming closer to people at his church, which he found a welcome reprieve from the cattiness of couture life. 'I realized that I'm hurting myself. I'm poisoning myself. I'm sterilizing myself. The normal things that bring meaning to normal people's lives I'm shut off from because I can't have children in this state. I can't do the normal things that bring normal people meaning,' Yardley says of the moment he began to question the experts and trans ideology. 'When you're 15, you think, 'Well, I'm a weird person. I don't need to worry about that.' The long-term consequences were unimaginable to me.' Since quitting estrogen in January, he's come to recognize other negative side effects. 'I was really crazy on the hormones,' he said. 'I was mentally unstable and cognitively impaired. And generally fatigued, tired, not strong at all in ways that I'm only now coming to really understand.' Yet the path has been a solitary one. The medical establishment abandoned Yardley on this new journey to live authentically. While doctors were all too eager to put him on life-changing medications, there's no protocol for what to do if a patient stops treatment. When that happens, doctors seem to simply lose interest. 'I've asked multiple doctors for advice, and they don't know what to do,' Yardley says on stopping hormone treatment, a process that 'makes you feel [physically] awful. It's been difficult.' 'They just say, 'You should ask someone else.' At a certain point, how many other people can I ask before I just figure it out on my own?' Even before President Trump's second term — in which the backlash against childhood gender transitioning has been swift and damning — the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the Australian state of Queensland had moved to ban or restrict puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors.x In a landmark June ruling, the US Supreme Court upheld a state ban on so-called gender-affirming care for minors. This month, the Department of Justice launched an investigation into more than 20 doctors and gender clinics for minors. The nation's largest youth-gender clinic, the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, closed up shop Tuesday, citing the Trump administration. The White House also just announced it will cut federal funding for hospitals that provide minors with gender-transition procedures. Yardley has joined the fight, although he's never thought much of himself as an activist. He's suing the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for medical malpractice. Yardley's hair is now cut short and dyed a brassy blond. He says both old friends and strangers are sometimes confused about how to address him — a problem he never had when he lived as Salomé. 'I've tried to enter the men's restroom a few times, where someone was like, 'Hey! The women's room's over there!' ' he says. 'It was super awkward. Nobody ever redirected me as a woman.' He doesn't know yet if his medicalized youth has rendered him permanently sterile. But it's not all gloom. At his new home, Yardley has started a band, Pariah the Doll (he's calling the debut album 'Castrato'), and launched a clothing line, Eunuch for the Kingdom. He'd like to meet a nice Catholic girl and settle down — but he's also preparing for a life of celibacy, should it come to that. 'Having spent 10 years in the female role, I don't really know how to be a man. That's a scary jump for me,' Yardley tells The Post. Still, he holds no ill-will toward those who set him off on this course — and that includes his own mother. 'I wouldn't even say that she was supportive of it. It was just, like most parents, she trusted doctors because if you are a boomer, like she is, you have no reason to distrust doctors. Their legitimacy is pretty firm in your mind as someone of that generation. So I don't blame her.' As for those doctors, Yardley is surprisingly merciful. 'I don't believe, as a Christian, that people are setting out to do evil for evil's sake. I don't think anyone has that in their heart,' he said. 'But I think it has a lot to do with an overreach of professionals and a lot to do with money. Hospitals make a lot of money from these procedures. They benefit from having lifelong patients, which is what transgender people are. You need the hormones to maintain the identity.' If he could go back, would he change any of it? 'There's no way to live your life without making mistakes or going down the wrong path,' Yardley says. 'My life would be totally different if I made different decisions at 15 years old, so I can't really conceive of a different path. I don't live in a regret state. In many ways, I'm extraordinary lucky.' He does, however, wish that doctors would learn to be more open-minded. 'If you're a gender-nonconforming kid, you should be allowed to be yourself. I think that was the biggest problem. I didn't feel like I could be confident in who I was. And if that person happens to like singing and dancing and cooking and Barbie dolls, who really cares? You can be a boy who likes that,' Yardley says. 'At the time, nobody in my life told me that was possible.'

Actress Nicole Kidman thanks this everyday skincare product for her age-defying looks
Australian actress Nicole Kidman reveals sunscreen is the key to her daily skincare routine. The age-defying star thanked her years of dedicated SPF use for keeping her skin healthy and radiant. The Practical Magic 2 star announced on July 25 her new role as Global Brand Ambassador for Japanese skincare and beauty brand, Clé de Peau Beauté. Kidman, 58, says it's a brand her make-up artist has used on her for years. One of her favourite products from the line is the UV Protection Cream SPF 50+. 'I went to Wimbledon and this is what I wore — it's so good,' Kidman told PEOPLE. Raised in Sydney, on the Northern Beaches, the Hollywood star grew up with sunscreen as a daily essential. In an interview with Vogue, she revealed her rules on skincare. 'It's the one thing I teach my girls,' Kidman said. 'For my girls, I'll use like a 30, but I like the SPF 50 for me, which is the one that I use. 'I also love the sheer zinc because for me it's such a great protection for my nose and for my shoulders and when I'm working.' The mum-of-two also shared that building her confidence is what helps the actress feel good on the inside. 'I am raising girls in their teens — you realise the importance of empowering other women,' Kidman told PEOPLE. 'The way in which when you are empowered, that sort of inner confidence actually shows through, and to me that's very beautiful.' The new campaign also features Kidman's youngest daughter, Faith Margaret, 14, whom she shares with her husband, singer Keith Urban. 'We flew out together and we were able to just have fun on the set,' Kidman reflected. 'It was just sort of a magical, dreamlike experience, which I hope when people see the campaign, they get. 'She's my baby, and it was a sweet little way to capture her at 14. 'It was one of those things where you say, 'This isn't a job. This is actually a gift'.' Kidman and Urban's eldest daughter, Sunday Rose, 17, recently launched her modelling career. Earlier this year, the rising star landed her first major campaign, fronting a new luxury advert for Italian fashion brand Miu Miu. Loading Instagram Post Kidman added she feels most beautiful when she's with her daughters. 'I love doing hot yoga right now, so I feel really good about an hour after that,' she said. 'My daughters and I, we do it together, and we call it the glow up. 'We look red-faced and ragged when we come out, but about an hour later, wow.' Shop more SPF products in Australia:
