According to RadarOnline.com, Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban are sharing a strong bond following their split from their spouses. An industry source stated that the two are planning to record a duet together to channel a “shared emotional reset” after their breakups. The insider continued, “Even when they were sitting behind the Idol judges’ desk years ago, people around them picked up on the fact that there was a natural pull between them.” The pull “that went deeper than a standard professional friendship.”
“Reconnecting through music now feels intentional and emotionally measured,” the source further added. This “gives them space to revisit that bond in a way that feels protected, without the pressure of defining what it all means too quickly.” The insider also explained, “A duet lets them follow the energy and see how it translates now that their lives look very different.”
Another source said, “For them, music is the safest common language they share.” They added, “It sits outside the noise and expectations that come with their personal lives, and it allows them to spend time together in a space that feels balanced and unthreatening.”
“Working on songs together will give them a way to quietly explore how far this connection might go,” the source noted. Moreover, this will happen “without forcing either of them to define it or move faster than they’re ready for.” One insider stated, “When Jenny heard what Keith was going through, she felt a strong pull to check in on him in a very human, uncomplicated way.” The “Anaconda” star wanted “to offer reassurance and let him know someone understood what that moment feels like.”
