Kidman, 58, has filed for divorce from her husband of 19 years a day after their split was first reported, citing “irreconcilable differences” and listing their separation date as September 30 in her divorce papers.
Now, it’s been alleged that Urban, 57, is already dating someone new.
“All the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman. Let’s just say, Nicole doesn’t dispute that, but she’s still shocked over it,” one anonymous source told TMZ.
Another claimed that news of the new relationship was “all over Nashville,” where the couple are based.
Meanwhile, a “well-placed Nashville music business PR source” alleged to the Daily Mail that the mysterious “younger” woman in question also works in the music industry.
“The rumour is that he’s with a younger woman in the business. It’s all everyone is talking about. Everyone wants to know who, but so far, that’s a mystery.”
Both Kidman and Urban are yet to publicly comment on their split.
The pair, who wed in 2006, share two children together: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
Yesterday, Page Six reported that Urban has moved out of their family home in Nashville, Tennessee, and bought a home of his own in the same city.
“Sometimes relationships just run their course,” a source told the outlet, adding that Kidman “did not want the separation and was trying to save things.”
That particular detail has led to a bizarre social media meltdown on Urban’s Instagram, as thousands of fans swarm his latest post with demands he repair his 19-year marriage.
Urban’s pinned Instagram post, promoting his single Straight Line, attracted thousands of comments, many of them chastising the star for allegedly initiating the break-up and urging him to repair the relationship.
“Pleaseeee dont leave your wife and break up your family…..” one fan pleaded.
“Go back to your wife and work things out! Marriage is hard!” another ordered.
“Hope you fight for your marriage,” wrote another.
All comments on the post have now been deleted and switched off.
Urban and Kidman were last seen together in public at a FIFA World Cup event in Nashville on June 20. Six days later, Kidman wished her husband of 19 years a “happy anniversary baby,” sharing a candid black and white photo of the pair embracing to mark their wedding anniversary.
Usually one to wax lyrical about his love for his wife, Urban left the briefest of comments under the post: A single love heart emoji.
Tellingly, there was no corresponding anniversary post from Urban on his social media account. The day before their anniversary, he’d shared a slideshow of photos of himself on stage during his tour.
The day after the marriage milestone, he posted a video of himself performing at the Country Music Awards.
One year earlier, in June 2024, Urban marked the couple’s 18th wedding anniversary with a post to his Instagram account, declaring his love for Kidman was “forever” along with a photo of the pair together.
