The National Enquirer is running an exclusive that claims that Keith Urban has called off plans to marry Nicole in order to focus on his sobriety. They claim that Nicole had a fall wedding in Tahiti planned, but that Urban canned it and wants time off from the relationship:
Country superstar Keith has called a time-out in their romance to concentrate on his long-running battle with alcohol and drugs.
Sources say that Nicole had already set a date and started making plans for a fall wedding in Tahiti when the handsome star, voted Country Music Entertainer of the Year in 2005, delivered the bombshell news.
“Nicole is heartbroken  she thinks Keith is the man for her,” said an insider. “Keith told her he wanted to cool things down before the CMT Awards in Nashville in April … and Nicole was just gutted.” They separated at that point  with Keith staying in Nashville and Nicole going off to The Hamptons to shoot a new movie.
A grim-faced Nicole, 38, has been spotted in East Hampton, New York, without the spectacular 3.5 carat ring that Keith, also 38, is said to have given her for the unofficial engagement last November.
This doesn’t seem true to us for a few reasons. First of all, Nicole may not have been wearing her engagement ring while she was in the Hamptons, but she was seen with a plain gold band that looked suspiciously like a wedding ring.
From what we heard, Nicole was planning a summer wedding in Australia, not a fall wedding in Tahiti. The Sun reports today that Nicole has set the date for June 25th, beating Tom and Katie’s expected 4th of July wedding.
Urban may have wanted some time away, but it sounds like a temporary thing, and the “insider” may have been reporting old news. They made a reference to the CMT awards, which were on April 10th, nearly a month ago. Keith spoke of Nicole specifically at the CMT awards, in what was viewed as his first public admission of their relationship. Plus, Nicole could be pregnant and has been seen with what may be a growing baby bump.
Hopefully Nicole and Keith will get married soon and put all these silly rumors behind them.
I don’t believe that either. They had them breaking up before though I have to say that Nicole has a particularly bad taste in men.. Keith seems better than the rest of them (Bing, Lenny Kravitz, Qtip.. not to mentin La Cruise), but his addictions may prove to be too much in the end.
He doesn’t seem able to escape his past, although that might be because people keep bringing it up! That type of personality is hard to change, though.
