Reports swirling around Hollywood claim Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have quietly ended their nearly two-decade marriage, with sources saying the split was finalized in an unusually short time. According to insiders, the country music superstar and the Oscar-winning actress moved quickly through the process, allegedly wrapping things up in about four months in an effort to keep the separation as calm and private as possible.
The longtime couple, who share two daughters, have long been viewed as one of entertainment’s most solid pairings, making the alleged breakup all the more shocking to fans. Sources say both Urban and Kidman were focused on avoiding a drawn-out legal battle and protecting their family from unnecessary public drama.
However, insiders claim the situation has been emotionally complicated for their children. One source told Page Six that the daughters appear to be firmly siding with their mother following the split, a dynamic that has not gone unnoticed. Kidman has reportedly been spending extensive time with the girls, traveling with them and appearing especially close in recent public outings.
Urban, meanwhile, has been far less visible with his children in recent months, fueling speculation about tension behind the scenes. According to unconfirmed chatter, the girls may be distancing themselves from their father amid rumors that he has already moved on romantically. Some reports suggest Urban has been linked to a much younger woman and may even be living with her, though no official confirmation has been made.
“Word is Keith’s got a new flame, which is why the girls are publicly team mom,” one insider claimed. “Teen girls don’t just turn on their dad for no reason, so people are definitely talking.”
As the personal drama plays out, Urban is said to be pouring his emotions into music. Sources claim he is working on a deeply personal breakup album expected later this year, with fans anticipating raw lyrics inspired by the upheaval in his private life. Speculation has grown that some songs could reference singer Karley Scott Collins, who has been loosely linked to Urban in recent months.
Collins, 26, has her own rising career in entertainment. She previously appeared on ABC’s Once Upon a Time and later transitioned into music, eventually signing with Sony Music Nashville. She released her debut album, Flight Risk, and toured with Urban as an opening act during his High and Alive tour, where insiders claim the two grew close.
Despite the rumors, sources close to both artists insist there is no proof of an affair and that any relationship would have begun only after Urban and Kidman’s reported split. Neither Urban nor Collins has publicly addressed the speculation.
For now, much of what’s being discussed remains unconfirmed, with representatives staying silent. Whether these reports signal a definitive end to one of Hollywood’s most admired marriages or simply reflect industry gossip, the story has undeniably set off intense curiosity—and concern—among fans.
