Nearly a year since his split from Nicole Kidman, country singer Keith Urban may be eyeing a fresh start. The 58-year-old reportedly hoped for a reconciliation before accepting the split was final. Now, as the anniversary of the divorce approaches, insiders claim his friends are pushing him toward a familiar face, one with whom he has always had great chemistry.
Keith Urban looking to hang out with Jennifer Lopez after Nicole Kidman divorce, per source
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s divorce is set to reach its first anniversary in late September. According to a source who spoke to Woman’s Day, the country singer initially held out hope for reconciliation. This changed after Kidman was photographed in Italy with her rumored new partner, Michael Reinstein, in July. Urban reportedly addressed the breakup during a performance in Atlantic City, appearing to accept that the marriage was truly over.
Now, insiders close to Urban say his circle has been nudging him toward reconnecting with Jennifer Lopez. The two were judges together on “American Idol” and have remained close since their time on the panel together. Moreover, per the source, Lopez has stayed in touch throughout Urban’s divorce.
“His friends have been urging him to take Jen out on a date. They’ve never been out of contact at all since working together and she’s been checking in on him since the divorce,” the source told the outlet.
The pair have some history linking them. The source noted that Urban has long admired Lopez’s talent. Their on-screen rapport during their “American Idol” tenure once drew attention. Lopez, for her part, has been open about embracing single life following her 2024 split from Ben Affleck, telling Jimmy Kimmel she’s “good right now” but open to love “if they’re good enough.”
There is no official confirmation from either Urban or Lopez on the dating rumors.
