Though a court hearing was initially scheduled for Jan. 6, Nicole waived her right to appear in person. In fact, both parties agreed to settle the filing amicably, avoiding a formal discovery or interrogation.

As the documents state, “Each party indicates that he or she does not want to proceed with formal discovery, including completing interrogatories and requests for production of documents, or discovery depositions, that are designed to discover assets and debts.”

E! News have reached out to reps for both Nicole and Keith respectively but have not heard back.

On Sept. 29, E! News confirmed that Nicole and Keith had been living apart since the beginning of summer. E! News subsequently learned that it was Keith’s decision to separate from Nicole, 58, and she had been working to try and save their marriage.

After all, the Oscar winner has been candid over the years when it came to her relationship with Grammy winner, especially in regard to how quickly she fell for him after the two met at a 2005 gala in Los Angeles.

"It was pretty intense," Nicole told People in 2019. "I believed by that point he was the love of my life.”

Nicole—who was previously married to Tom Cruise, with whom she shares children Isabella, 32, and Connor, 30—added, “Maybe that's because I am deeply romantic, or I'm an actress, or I have strong faith as well, but I just believed, 'Oh, okay, here he is.'"

As for Keith, 57, the country singer had been equally as effusive about their relationship.

"She's the one that I was searching for my whole life," he gushed on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast in 2020, "and everything not only changed but had to change in me if I was gonna go that road."

As Keith added, meeting Nicole was “like the ultimate fork in the road moment.”

“It was literally like you either get this right now or you are never, ever gonna get it right,” he shared. “This is your one shot."
