The Wedding Crashers star, 49, who has endured her own breakup in the public eye and is said to be a close friend of the former couple, was asked about her fellow Aussie stars’ split on the Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade podcast.
“I’m really, really, really shocked. I have left a message and have not connected yet,” she revealed.

Choosing her words, Fisher added, ”I don’t really want to comment on that, because there are children involved.”
“Tough times to be in the public eye.”
Kidman and Urban tied the knot in Sydney’s Manly in 2006 and were married for a total of 19 years. They first met in 2005 at a G’Day LA event.

The divorce papers, obtained by several media publications, cite the reason for their split as “irreconcilable differences”.
During their time together, rocker Urban, 57, got at least four tattoos in tribute to his wife.
Their split was perhaps such a shock to fans as the musician also penned a number of tracks for the actress over the years.

Meanwhile, earlier this year, Fisher finalised her own divorce from Borat’s Sacha Baron Cohen.
In a statement posted to their respective Instagram accounts, the former Home and Away star, 49, and Cohen, 53 shared: “Our divorce has now been finalised.”
“We are proud of all we’ve achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children. We ask for the media to continue to respect our children’s privacy.”
The couple first announced their split in a joint statement released in 2024 alongside a photo of them dressed in tennis gear.
“After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down,” it read, in part.
