The gossip about Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban has cooled down in recent weeks. Personally, I think the way the divorce news came out was all organized by Nicole. There are rumors that Keith was actually behind the first few stories, all about their “separation.” But everything that came out afterwards was basically Nicole narrating the story and coming out of it smelling like a rose. She looked like she was committed to working on the marriage through a rough spot, while Keith looked like he abandoned his family to bang a 25-year-old. So… I’m not putting much stock in this Daily Mail story, but we should still discuss it.
As the dust settles on Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce filing in Nashville, an insider has revealed the extent to which the country singer blindsided her. Kidman and Urban had been experiencing marital difficulties but were ‘getting it back together’ when he floored her with the decision that it was all over, according to a source who has known the Australian actress for decades. But even now, weeks after she filed for divorce, the Eyes Wide Shut star, 58, would be willing to patch things up – so long as Keith hasn’t already moved on.
‘She would get back with him in a heartbeat,’ said the confidante. Those within Nicole’s inner circle believe that by the time TMZ broke news of the couple’s separation on September 30, Keith was ‘done’ with the marriage. At the time, reports indicated Nicole was ‘blindsided’ by the break-up. However, it was the Oscar-winner who was the one to file divorce papers, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.
Now, our source maintains that Nicole was caught off-guard – as she had believed right up until the news broke that she and Keith were working through their issues. Behind the scenes, the leading actress is privately devastated. And as unconfirmed rumours swirl around Nashville that Keith may be dating again after his separation, Nicole’s loved ones are now anticipating that they might soon see a new, younger woman on his arm.
‘That would be a worst-case scenario for her.’
I don’t believe this at all. I don’t believe that Nicole would get back with him NOW, at this point. The time for that was a few months ago, when Nicole apparently believed that they could work on their marriage. But I also don’t believe that Nicole is really broken up about all of this. She’s probably furious with Keith for being such a cliche, for sure, and she’s upset about what this is doing to their daughters. But beyond that? She’s not pining away for that man or begging him to take her back. Enough!

Nicole is done with him. I agree she won’t take him back. Having private marital troubles turned into public humiliation is a deal breaker.
I’ll go as far as believing she wishes none of it had happened- that he wasn’t a screw up who is banging a girl much closer to his daughter’s age than his.
No one gets married expecting it to end like this, and it’s painful and it sucks and you don’t want to go through it.
But even if there was forgiveness- how could you respect a man after he’s shown himself to be a faithless, middle aged cliche.
His frosted tips and his fragile ego can go.
You say no one gets married and expects it to end like this, but I have a couple of friends whose cheating-related divorces I (and our other friends) definitely saw coming. One of them was her husband’s sidepiece while he was with his first wife, so that one was glaringly obvious. How you get him is how you lose him and all that. The other’s husband was constantly flirting and hitting on all of us, IN FRONT OF HER (which she dismissed as him being playful), so we suspected that he was doing worse behind her back, and we were right. I’ve also known women whose friends have tried to warn them about cheaters, only to be accused of jealousy, or trying to steal the sleazeball for themselves.
Now obviously I don’t know if any of this applies to Nicole. I can see how it might be difficult for both her and her friends to tell with Keith, who has looked like a walking midlife crisis since he was in his 30s. But it’s just a good rule in general: Ladies, “blinded by love” is definitely a thing, and your friends will see things that you can’t. Listen to them!
Many years ago, in a first marriage, I was the epitome of a gaslighted spouse. When I thought my husband was being too flirtatious with other women, he told me I needed to work on my insecurities and not be so jealous. When I questioned where he had been he accused me of not trusting him. When I finally found out the truth about his cheating I filed for divorce the next day. Later one of the other wives in our social circle told me that he had been so notorious that they all assumed I knew and didn’t care. No, I was just really young and dumb, and he was excellent at keeping me in the dark.
His ex-fiancée said he had “numerous flings” while they were together, that he has a “dark side,” and that he was a big ol’ drunk and drug addict. I do believe people can (and do, of course) get sober, but the cheating and “dark side” stuff sounded … bad.
Nicole surely has more self-respect than this! And I truly hope that the young women of Nashville do as well, and have the sense not to take him.
Nope, not buying it.
Who really knows what she’s thinking. I’m sure, having two daughters and two decades together, it is hard. But I’ll say. SHE LOOKS GREAT!! I’ve rarely seen anyone that looks good in breakup bangs but these are fantastic on her. I think she is going to be just fine.
The bangs look is so reminiscent of her in To Die For to me! Way to remind the world you’ve been hot AF for 30+ years!
Nah. I’ve seen several articles suggesting that Nicole and Lenny Kravitz will reconnect. That’s the headline that I’m looking forward to reading.
At the very least hit up his Paris house for a rest and dance in the basement club!
The headlines don’t match her latest public outings. Like, she does not appear as a devastated woman, curled up in a ball and licking her wounds, pining for frosted tips. She’s out there looking triumphant, confident and fully accepting of her current circumstances. Maybe that’s not what she feels inside–she is a fantastic actress, after all–but that’s definitely the vibe she’s putting out there and intentionally so, at that.
And I find it hard to believe that she didn’t see this coming. I think she checked out of the marriage a while ago and the divorce was just a forgone conclusion.
The DM mantra is basically no woman without man..,
So of course woman Nicole must want and need man Keith.
She is incomplete otherwise.
That is what the right believes.
I’ve been divorced ten years after a long marriage of 20+ years and am so much happier with my little dog than ever before in my life.
He looked like an old fool with unfortunate highlights fawning over the young singer on stage. When the video was making its rounds.
They had a long marriage and have two beautiful daughters together. Nicole will come out on the other side stronger. If she can survive Tom Cruise and his cult. And be a bigger star than ever. She can survive a singing kiwi.
Look at her eyes in the header picture. There is no way that woman is EVER taking back that man. She is so DONE.
