Nicole Kidman Files For Divorce From Keith Urban

Last week, news broke that actress Nicole Kidman was filing for divorce from country music star Keith Urban, following 19-years of marriage. Confirmed by PEOPLE, the filing comes shortly after reports surfaced that the couple had quietly separated earlier this year.

Court records show the divorce was filed in Nashville, with the actress citing “irreconcilable differences.” The pair have agreed on custody arrangements for their two teenage daughters, Sunday Rose (age 17) and Faith (age 14) with Nicole designated as the primary residential parent. Both have reportedly waived rights to spousal and child support.

Sources close to the couple say the separation had been in motion for months, with Keith having already moved into a separate residence.

Urban Raises Eyebrows After Changing Song Lyrics Geared For Kidman

At a recent show, Urban performed his song “The Fighter” with rising country star Maggie Baugh joining him on stage. The song was originally inspired by his relationship with Kidman.

In 2017, Urban told Billboard that its lyrics came “from a conversation my wife and I had early on in our relationship, that when things get tough, I need to hold her tighter and just try to take care of her.”

During the performance, Urban decided to change up the song.

The original lyrics are: “When they’re tryna get to you, baby, I’ll be the fighter.

Urban instead sang: “When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player.”

Baugh later shared footage of the performance on her social media. She captioned the video, “Did he just say that👀.”

Maggie Baugh’s Father Dismisses Rumors Of Affair

Some TikTok videos hinted at the idea that Urban had been secretly dating Baugh during rehearsals and that she played a role in the marriage ending.

Chuck Baugh, the 25-year-old’s dad, publicly addressed the rumors. He reposted one of the TikToks making these claims and captioned it: “NO. Just No.”

He allegedly told the Daily Mail denied any relationship between the two other than her being his guitarist.

“I don’t know anything about it, other than she’s a guitar player for him,” he said on October 2. “It’s more of a musician thing than a dating thing.”
