Keith Urban’s friend breaks silence — how he is coping after Nicole Kidman split

Life after a high-profile breakup often unfolds quietly, and for Keith Urban, that appears to be the case following his separation from Nicole Kidman. While the singer has stayed largely private, a latest update from Russell Dickerson is offering an insight on how he’s doing and the outlook appears to be positive, with Urban stated as "in good spirits."

A brief but telling interaction

During an appearance at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026 on March 26, Dickerson talked about reconnecting with Urban at the Country to Country music festival.


Although their time together was brief, he cited that they didn’t spend "tons of time" and the impression was positive. According to Dickerson, Urban "seemed in good spirits" despite the personal challenges in his life.

"He's always been focused on music, and so I think he's just kind of doubling down on that, and it's just beautiful," he told Page Six. "I can't wait to hear what comes out of it."

Moving forward in different ways

After the split, Urban has maintained a relatively low public profile, dedicating his time to music and performances. Those close to the situation indicate that his creative work has become a major focus in this period. Kidman, meanwhile, remains busy professionally. She now stars in the Amazon Prime Video thriller Scarpetta, where she appears along with Simon Baker.

Speculation around Kidman’s co-star

The actress and Baker have gained attention following appearances together, that includes at a New York City premiere where they were reportedly spotted holding hands.

Discussing their on-screen pairing, Kidman stated that their chemistry "just vibrates," while Baker responded playfully: "I don't kiss and tell." Neither has confirmed any relationship beyond their profession.

Neither Urban nor Kidman has gone into detail publicly regarding their separation, but occasional insights from those around them remains to surface.
