Keith Urban hinted at one of the reasons his marriage with Nicole Kidman ended. He said “relationship sacrifices” are necessary for his career. Urban added, “It’s not a job. It’s my life. It’s just got to be your purpose.” Nicole Kidman filed for divorce from Urban after 19 years of marriage on September 30, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Sources told TMZ that Urban wanted the divorce, but Kidman had hoped to work things out. The couple actually separated over the summer. Urban has been touring as the headliner for the new CBS series The Road, where young country artists compete to be his opening act. One young musician, 25-year-old multi-instrumentalist Maggie Baugh, got lots of attention from touring with Urban.

Keith Urban and Maggie Baugh rumors

Fans noticed a video of Urban and Baugh performing together and thought it looked flirtatious. In the video, Urban changed lyrics that were previously dedicated to Kidman to Baugh’s name. The Daily Mail reported that Urban had taken up with a “younger woman in the industry” before his marriage ended.


Kidman filed for divorce just days after the post, and some fans blamed Baugh for the breakup. Maggie Baugh has not commented on the rumors of an affair with Urban. Urban has also not confirmed or denied dating Baugh. Urban told viewers in a teaser for The Road that life on tour could be “lonely and miserable.”

Nicole Kidman moves on after divorce

Baugh will not return to play on Urban’s tour due to logistics, as he already has a longstanding utility player. Baugh used the extra attention online to release new music. Kidman has not commented on the rumored relationship with Baugh, as per the report by People.

A source told People that Kidman is “keeping it positive” and “believes everything happens for a reason.” The divorce news hasn’t slowed Kidman’s career. She attended Paris Fashion Week with a new hairstyle fans called “breakup bangs.” She also appeared on the cover of Vogue since the divorce news broke.
