The couple make one final attempt to save their union.

Not many celebrities pass through Cabot, Vermont – a tiny picturesque town of 1500 residents. But during a recent five-day stretch, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban quietly arrived to visit Marriage Quest, a private counselling retreat. ‘Nicole and Keith went for an emergency stay,’ an insider tells OK! exclusively of the pair, who have been married for almost 12 years. ‘It was an extremely emotional and testing few days.’

So was their marriage rehab successful? Despite the couple’s best efforts to repair their damaged relationship, ‘friends think this will end in divorce’, says the insider.

There are just too many obstacles to overcome. During the course of their union, the 50-year-olds have struggled to deal with Keith’s addiction issues (he went to rehab four months after they wed in 2006) as well as Nicole’s anger over rumours of his infidelity. The couple, who share daughters Sunday, nine, and Faith, seven, ‘have been fighting constantly over Nicole’s incessant jealousy and need to control Keith on every level’, adds the insider. ‘They have been putting a bandaid over their problems for too long. While they have smiles plastered on their faces in public, in private, things have been falling apart.’
