Keith Urban is navigating his high-profile divorce with a sense of humor. The country superstar had a hilarious onstage interaction at his recent Nashville concert that quickly went viral. The moment involved a fan who happened to share the same first name as his estranged wife, actress Nicole Kidman. The playful exchange took place during the final stop of his ‘High and Alive World Tour’.
Keith Urban’s playful reaction to a fan named Nicole
During his October 17 show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Urban was in high spirits as he interacted with fans from the stage. In a video posted by Nashville Experience on Instagram, Urban handed his microphone to a woman in the crowd and asked her name. When she answered softly, Urban leaned in and joked, “What? I’m not going to like your name? What?” The fan replied, “It’s Nicole.” The crowd instantly erupted with laughter as Urban dramatically dropped to the floor, lying on his back and throwing one arm up toward the sky in mock disbelief. Moments later, he got up, still laughing, and quipped, “Did you say Nicole Richie?”Moments later, the same fan revealed she was pregnant, showing a tiny onesie that read “Smallest Keith Urban Fan.” Urban joined in on the fun, helping her announce the big news from the stage. Fans online couldn’t get enough of the sweet and silly moment, calling him “the most genuine performer” and praising his ability to stay lighthearted during a tough time.
Separation from Nicole Kidman
The viral video comes just weeks after Urban’s split from Nicole Kidman became public in September. The couple, who share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, had reportedly been living separate lives for months.Kidman recently opened up about embracing life’s changes in an interview with Vogue. “How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going, and then it isn’t going in that direction?” she said.Speaking later with Harper’s Bazaar, she reflected on resilience. “There’s something to knowing that no matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is, there is a way through.” A source close to the actress told PEOPLE that the split has been “dramatic” and that Kidman feels “hurt and betrayed.” The insider added, “She wanted to save their marriage and believed that she could, but it seems he’s already moved on.”
Rumors link Keith Urban to guitarist Maggie Baugh
That “moved on” comment appears to reference new headlines linking Urban to his touring guitarist, 25-year-old Maggie Baugh. During a recent show, Urban allegedly changed the lyrics of a song, originally written for Kidman, to reference the musician. Instead of the original line, Urban reportedly sang, “When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie I’ll be your guitar player.” Baugh later shared a clip of the moment on her Instagram, fueling speculation about a budding romance. Sources claimed to The Blast that the relationship was “all over Nashville.” Another insider noted that Kidman “doesn’t dispute that, but she’s still shocked.”Despite the drama, Urban seems unfazed. The Grammy winner continues to perform to sold-out crowds, joking with fans and delivering high-energy performances.
