Heartbreak to hits? Keith Urban hints at revenge album after split from Nicole Kidman

Country music star Keith Urban is reportedly working on new music that insiders are naming it as a potential “revenge album,” inspired by his separation from actress Nicole Kidman after the conclusion of their long term marriage.

Reports of new music tied to breakup

Keith Urban is stated to be channeling personal emotions into songwriting following the breakdown of his 19-year marriage. Urban and Kidman reportedly filed for divorce in September 2025, with the split finalized in January 2026. The former duo share two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

Insider claims about emotional direction

As per the insider quoted by Woman’s Day:

“Move over Taylor Swift and Lily Allen, Keith's been charting his emotional journey since his breakup with Nicole through songwriting and it turns out he has a lot to say,”

The same source cited that Kidman is unsettled by the situation:

“Nicole's freaking out,”

The source further mentioned:

“Even though Keith's limited with what he can and can't say under the terms of the divorce, she was never able to make stipulations about his music.”

They cited:

“It's the only outlet he has to express himself and she's right to be worried,”

Fear of personal revelations

Sources also indicate that Kidman is concerned about the possibility of private information being revealed through lyrics, with insiders claiming she is determined to avoid any “kiss and tell” style revelations regarding her personal life.

Urban’s next studio album, when debuted, will be his 13th. His earlier album, High, came out in September 2024.
