On the outside, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman seemed to have a perfect marriage. To fans, it looked like a romantic mix of red carpets, love songs, and happy family moments. However, behind the smiles, whispers of trouble had been swirling for a while. And now, insiders say the truth behind their split is far more devastating than anyone imagined.
Sources close to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban claim that things between the couple had been going downhill for quite some time before they announced their split. National Enquirer insiders allegedly claim that Keith’s bad-boy behavior and poor treatment of Nicole are behind the couple’s breakup.
It seems that the country superstar had been getting a little too friendly with several Nashville entertainers, including his own bandmate, guitarist Maggie Baugh. Rumors claim that while Nicole was mourning the loss of her beloved mother, Keith had emotionally checked out, leaving her to face heartbreak alone.
“There’s no sugarcoating the fact that Keith’s behaved like a total jerk. He’s treated Nicole like dirt at a time when she was most vulnerable,” says an insider. “It goes without saying that Nicole is devastated and humiliated,” a source says.
Fans Are Divided, But Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Daughters Stand By Mom
What stung even more, sources say, was that Keith didn’t bother hiding his attention toward other women. Flirting in public, changing lyrics during performances, and getting cozy on the road reportedly became impossible for Nicole to ignore.
One close family member adds, “It seemed incomprehensible to her that the love of her life would be capable of such cruelty.”
Nicole Kidman had finally had enough of Keith’s betrayal. It seemingly hit especially hard when she realized Keith may have been using his music to air their private problems. Lyrics from his songs like “Love Is Hard” allegedly outed their real-life arguments.
Even most recently, Keith Urban changed Nicole’s name in “The Fighter,” a love song once dedicated to his wife, to Maggie Baugh’s. Kidman was completely embarrassed by Keith’s onstage behavior. To her, this was the final straw, confirming what she had feared the most. Their fairytale romance was over.
Since their split, fans have been sharply divided. Some blame Keith for crossing the line, while others say it was Nicole’s demanding career and steamy roles. Despite the chatter, it appears the couple’s two daughters are standing firmly beside their mother.
Keith insists there are “two sides” to the story. However, so far, he’s kept quiet. But there is something allegedly going down behind the scenes that is raising eyebrows, such as Maggie reportedly being removed from Keith’s ongoing tour. Also, Urban has canceled at least one performance due to ‘illness’ or guilt. Hard to say.
Either way, one thing’s certain. It looks as if things are over for good between the former couple, and both are looking to move forward with their lives.
