Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are finding their post-divorce rhythm in different ways!
The former couple is picking up the pieces of their lives after parting ways last September, with the musician insisting he is still the same man while his ex spends quality time with a rumored love interest.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have reportedly been engaging in a silent battle of who would be the first to move on romantically, and it may seem the latter is in a huge lead.
The country singer’s separation from Kidman was bombarded with speculations of him hooking up with several other women, ranging from his guitarist, Maggie Baugh, and Karley Scott Collins, the opener on his 2025 High and Alive tour. However, sources close to the singer confirmed that the dating rumors are false, same as reports that he backslid on his sobriety.
“He’s not dating anyone. He’s still sober. He didn’t mess up his sobriety. He’s about to hit 20 years this year. He did not fall off the wagon,” the insider explained. It is no secret that the songwriter struggled with substance abuse in the past and has publicly credited his ex with setting him straight.
Now, Urban stands in line to receive a $11 million payout from Kidman’s treasury due to a clause in their prenuptial agreement which promised a $600,000 payment for every year he remained sober during the marriage.
Aside from the huge payment waiting for the performer, he also realized prior to his divorce that he wanted a much simpler life centered around a house in Nashville and a house on the beach.
The source revealed to The Daily Mail that he reportedly got a huge realization about his marriage to Kidman after he was asked about seeing Kidman in his life in 10 years, and he could not respond affirmatively.
The ‘Baby Girl’ Actress Reportedly Introduced Her New Boyfriend To Her Children
In the last few months, there have been reports that Kidman was playing some game with Urban using their kids and his access to them. Now that she is seeing someone, insiders are claiming that it may just be the perfect distraction Kidman needs to finally ease up on Urban after being reportedly mad at him for a while.
As for her romance with millionaire private equity businessman Michael Reinstein, whom she was spotted spending time with in Italy a few days ago, things have gotten to the next level with family involved. A source confirmed that the actress already introduced their daughters to the millionaire, and they all got together for lunch.
Kidman had reportedly given a positive review about the arrangement, explaining that everyone had fun with Reinstein, who is easy-going and light-handed, and she is happy her daughters feel positive about him. In the insider’s words:
“Sunday Rose is very pleased with Reinstein because his company Regent owns the fashion houses Bally, Sassoon and Escada, and she can pose for them. He has connections that will help her with modeling.”
The divorce also reportedly leaves Kidman with their daughters, Sunday and Faith, for 306 days of the year, while Urban is expected to have them every other weekend and during alternating holidays.
Keith Urban Reportedly Has Secret Dating Rule After Being In The Storm’s Eye Post Nicole Kidman Split
As noted by The Blast in July, Urban was not shaken by the released pictures of his ex-wife in the billionaire’s company, as people in their inner circle know the extent to which they have moved on with their dating lives.
Sources claimed that Urban has equally been discreetly dating since the end of his marriage to the actress. He has religiously stayed away from public dating spots and reportedly asked his love interests to sign non-disclosure agreements.
It has been a once bitten, twice shy situation with Urban, who has faced so much backlash since their split, no thanks to the media constantly linking him with several younger women, leaving him to bear the brunt of the marriage ending.
The insider stressed that Urban is now waiting for Kidman to confirm a new relationship publicly before anything about his love life comes out. As soon as that happens, the singer would reportedly feel free to stop hiding and would even be relieved that attention was no longer solely focused on him.
The ‘One Too Many’ Star’s Daughters Pick A Side With Their Mother Amid The Divorce
The actress’ close relationship with her daughters became apparent in the rubble of her divorce drama with Urban. The Blast noted that Sunday Rose and Faith have decided to side with the actress, with the former publicly crediting her mother with shaping her creativity and work ethic in an Elle Australia feature.
The omission was not the most pleasant news for Urban as it also sparked reports that the actress may have turned their kids’ backs against him. However, insiders stressed that Sunday and Faith have formed their opinions about their parents’ divorce, and their close bond with the actress as a result of the custody arrangement even makes them tighter.
Meanwhile, the girls reportedly harbor some resentment towards Urban and remain hurt over what their mother has endured. On her end, Kidman sees this as a second chance at motherhood and would not make the same mistake she made with the two older kids she shared with Tom Cruise because they picked his side.
Nicole Kidman Reportedly Embracing Her Most Daring Era Yet Post Keith Urban
Publicly flaunting her latest romantic adventure may be one of them, but as far as her career is concerned, Kidman reportedly pumped the gas and is ready to show the world more of her sensual side.
The actress revealed that she feels newly liberated to take on sensual roles without having to consider her estranged husband’s discomfort like in the past.
Sources claimed that Urban often struggled with Kidman’s suggestive roles and disliked seeing her physically close to male co-stars, even though he never asked her to stop. The actress reportedly spent years reassuring him, but everything got exhausting at some point.
Following her divorce, she has reportedly embraced her newfound thirst for playing deeply complicated and suggestive roles that are currently a large part of her oeuvre. Kidman is not thinking about toning down her image, especially with several projects on the horizon.
The movie star’s close pals also feel like a huge mask has been lifted off her creative ideas and she could become even bolder moving forward. She could also choose roles that allow her to use her voice, sexuality and physicality without feeling pressured to make anyone else comfortable.
