Keith Urban reportedly struggled with attention after splitting from Nicole Kidman, particularly rumors linking him to Jennifer Lopez. Sources claimed he missed Kidman and still loved her, despite ending their marriage.
Kidman’s reported relationship with private equity businessman Michael Reinstein and outings with daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret made headlines. Urban focused on music and touring.
Sources reveal how Keith Urban is humiliated by dating rumors
A source told The Daily Mail, “He wants people to talk about his music, not about Nicole or his divorce.” Urban reportedly worked on an album insiders called “sad but really good,” partly inspired by Kidman. “He’s not regretful about his decision” to end the relationship, sources said. “But he misses Nicole.”
Reports suggested Urban initiated the split, while Kidman wanted to work through their problems. Urban reportedly declined and threw himself into work. “He wants to be booked and busy as it’s a good distraction for what’s going on in his personal life,” a source said. He revisited places he shared with Kidman, but an insider added, “But he goes and eats alone.”
The Lopez speculation reportedly embarrassed Urban. Sources described him as “humiliated by the media and what was put out there about him – who he was dating, who he was sleeping with, who he was living with.” He allegedly wanted rumors to fade before dating again. “But privately,” a source explained. “So it won’t be all over the Internet.”
Kidman leaned on her daughters. In March 2026, she told Variety, “I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be,” adding, “My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
An insider in September praised Kidman, saying, “Nicole has played the post-divorce game very well by focusing on her family first, establishing herself as a solid single mom. And she is a great mom.” Another source said, “The girls are definitely Team Nicole – they’re in her corner, they’re hurt and angry on her behalf.”
Urban reportedly wanted more time with his daughters, but their busy lives and his touring schedule complicated matters.
