Keith Urban is reportedly keeping a low profile when it comes to his dates following his highly publicized split from Nicole Kidman. While the former couple continues navigating life post-divorce, sources claim Urban has become more cautious and selective about what — and who — he allows into his inner circle.
Keith Urban keeping private life ‘under lock and key’ after Nicole Kidman split, per source
According to a source cited by Closer, Urban has been intentionally discreet since the breakup became public in late September. The insider claims the country music star has been “extra secretive.” They say he is avoiding being seen on public outings that could fuel further speculation. The source also alleges that Urban is spending time with new people socially. However, they insist he wants to ensure nothing about his personal life becomes tabloid fodder.
Urban, 58, has remained focused on his music in recent months, continuing his tour and even performing a private set at Mar-a-Lago. Kidman, on the other hand, is said to be prioritizing stability at home and focusing on her projects. In a recent interview, she acknowledged the transition hasn’t been easy, saying she’s simply “hanging in there.”
Rumors about Urban’s dating life surfaced almost immediately after the divorce announcement. He has been loosely linked to rising country singer Karley Scott Collins, who performed on his tour earlier this year. Photos from backstage interactions and separate appearances at the Country Music Awards fueled speculation. Collins has spoken highly of Urban professionally, calling him an artist she’s learned a lot from.
He was also previously linked in similar online rumors to fellow country performer Maggie Baugh. However, friends of Baugh reportedly strongly denied the claims.
Kidman, who reportedly filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences,” is said to be still processing the sudden shift in her personal life. People close to her reportedly hope she will eventually start dating again. But for now, she is focusing on healing and moving forward at her own pace.
