A new tabloid report links the Keith Urban-Nicole Kidman split to ripple effects from Hugh Jackman’s separation. As per the Daily Mail’s report dated October 2, sources in Nashville say, “People are wondering here if the end of Hugh Jackman’s marriage has made them feel like heading for the door.” The outlet adds that the marriage “suddenly” unraveled in late June, with TMZ reporting on Monday that the relationship was over. Subsequent reports indicate Kidman filed for divorce.
Sources suggest that people are curious if Hugh Jackman inspired Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban to make a big move
Daily Mail quotes a Nashville source describing Kidman’s “second teenagerhood” and a “bottomless need for sexual attention” as possible factors. The same source adds, “Sometimes when you see another couple seeking fulfilment outside of a long marriage it can be an idea that catches on.” The piece notes that the couple was close, with Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness attending the 2006 wedding of Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman.
The report further says, “people are speculating that there has been a betrayal on one side or another,” and “Something serious has to have happened which someone cannot get past.” It recaps recent optics: Urban’s onstage quip to collaborator Maggie Baugh. Urban sang flirtatiously, “Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player”, alongside travel, work, and public sightings timelines.
Daily Mail also traces timeline markers around work and travel, from Las Vegas shows to filming blocks, alongside the Nashville buzz about the Keith Urban-Nicole Kidman home routines. Representatives for the pair did not comment to the outlet. As framed by the report, the Keith Urban Nicole Kidman divorce speculation now includes the Hugh Jackman factor as a possible social echo rather than a confirmed cause.
The pair was last seen together on June 20 at a Club World Cup match in Nashville. Five days later, Kidman posted an anniversary photo, to which Urban replied with a heart emoji. After that, the article notes “complete silence.”
