Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban parted ways last year after 19 years of marriage. Post-divorce, the actress got the primary custody of the kids, with Urban allowed to see their daughters a few days a year. However, the singer now wants to follow the example of Gwyneth Paltrow’s former relationship. He wants to “reframe” his relationship with his ex amid the romance rumors.
Keith Urban wants to follow Gwyneth Paltrow’s approach in Nicole Kidman relationship, per source
Former couple Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman divorced under terms that the actress will have primary residential custody of their daughters. The girls, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, will be living with her for 306 days a year. Meanwhile, the daughters will spend 59 days, including alternate weekends, with their singer dad.
It seems amid the busy schedules and tour, Urban is “genuinely shaken by how empty everything feels now that Nicole and the girls aren’t part of his everyday routine.” That is why he wants to follow Gwyneth Paltrow’s “conscious uncoupling” approach in this relationship with his ex-wife. The way Paltrow and ex Chris Martin “handled their separation” impressed Urban.
The country singer “genuinely admires” the way the former couple, Paltrow and Martin, “reframed their breakup as a conscious uncoupling rather than a messy split,” according to a source.
As per the RadarOnline.com source, the 58-year-old guitarist “doesn’t want lawyers and resentment to define the next chapter of his life. He wants it to feel intentional and dignified.”
Urban wants to take a cue from exes Paltrow and Martin’s relationship to protect his daughters “from unnecessary conflict,” the source added. Despite everything, he wants to show a “united front” with his former wife at their daughter’s “birthdays, school events, and major milestones.”
“In his mind, the marriage may be over, but the family isn’t. He keeps saying he wants the tone to be respectful, steady, and forward-looking, not driven by anger or blame,” the source explained. The insider further added that Urban has “told friends that, for him, conscious uncoupling means shifting the focus from what went wrong to what still matters – their daughters.”
