Keith Urban Finds Comfort in Country Royalty After Nicole Kidman Split
EXCLUSIVE: Keith Urban's Rapid Recovery from Heartbreak - Has He Moved On with Multiple Country Queens?
Just days after his official split from Nicole Kidman, country music superstar Keith Urban is reportedly being comforted by none other than two stunning young country rockers, Maggie Baugh and Kelsea Ballerini! The 57-year-old Aussie-American heartthrob has been making headlines for his whirlwind romance with 25-year-old Nashville-based singer Maggie Baugh, but sources close to the singer reveal that he's also been leaning on Kelsea Ballerini, 32, as a reliable shoulder to cry on.
While romance hasn't quite blossomed between Keith and Kelsea just yet, their friendship has deepened since her recent split from Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes last month after almost three years together. "They've crossed paths frequently over the years and maintained a supportive friendship," an insider spills to Woman's Day, "but now they're bonding over shared experiences of heartbreak."
It seems Keith is no stranger to high-profile relationships himself, having just finalized his divorce from Nicole Kidman, whom he was married to for 19 years. The couple welcomed two beautiful daughters together and had been inseparable - or so it seemed. But behind closed doors, sources claim that the pair were living separate lives due to their demanding schedules.
Nicole Kidman, an actress known for her versatility in both film and television, has been left "blindsided" by the separation, insiders say. "Keith never sees Nicole; she's either filming or he's on tour," a source reveals. "There was a lot of love between the two, but they lived in different worlds." The couple's 19-year marriage came to an end just last week, leaving fans stunned and wondering what led to their split.
As Keith continues to navigate his new reality without Nicole by his side, he's finding solace in the company of his fellow country music stars. Maggie Baugh, who appeared on stage with Urban during his High and Alive tour this summer, has been a constant presence in Keith's life lately, and sources close to the singer say their relationship is "getting serious." Meanwhile, Kelsea Ballerini, who was married to Australian country star Morgan Evans for several years before filing for divorce in 2022, has become an unlikely confidant for Keith during this tumultuous time.
Interestingly, Kelsea's recent split from Chase Stokes bears a striking resemblance to her own high-profile divorce from Morgan Evans. In both cases, the actress-turned-country-singer seemed to be living the picture-perfect life with her then-husband before cracks began to appear in their relationship. "They're two adults who gave it their all and tried to do everything they could to make it work," a source says of Kelsea's split from Chase. "But ultimately, couldn't."
The question on everyone's mind is: Has Keith Urban moved on with not one, but multiple country queens? While the truth remains unclear for now, one thing's certain - the 57-year-old superstar is not letting his recent heartbreak get him down! Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy celebrity gossip.
