Keith Urban has reportedly stopped waiting for Nicole Kidman to change her mind about their marriage. A source recently shared that as the one-year anniversary of their split approaches in late September, Urban has moved past his “mourning phase.” Moreover, he is finally accepting the relationship is over for good.
Nicole Kidman’s alleged romance with Michael Reinstein was Keith Urban’s sign to move on, per source
Keith Urban reportedly accepted his marriage was truly over after Nicole Kidman’s photos with her rumored boyfriend surfaced. According to the insider, the singer initially held out hope his marriage could be salvaged. “It’s becoming clear he half hoped Nicole would beg him to come home,” the source told Woman’s Day. That hope reportedly persisted until July, when Kidman was photographed poolside in Portofino, Italy, with Michael Reinstein, a millionaire businessman.
Those photos are said to have hit Urban hard. The source claimed he processed the heartbreak on stage during an August 21 concert in Atlantic City. He has since resolved to move forward with his own life. Kidman and Urban’s divorce was finalized in January, with the Oscar winner named primary residential parent to their two teenage daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. Since then, Kidman has dropped a few playful hints about her openness to romance.
Friends are now said to be encouraging Urban to consider dating again, with some pushing him toward longtime friend Jennifer Lopez. The two have remained close since serving as fellow judges on “American Idol” more than a decade ago. The source also claimed Lopez has been checking in on Urban regularly since his split from Kidman.
Lopez, meanwhile, has been open about where she stands since her own divorce from Ben Affleck. Speaking on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” she said, “I’m good right now where I’m at,” leaving the door open to future romance. On the other hand, insiders suggested Kidman’s new relationship may have given her ex-husband the final push he needed.
