Nicole Kidman's Divorce Drama: A Shocking Shift in Her Personal Life

This week has been described by sources close to Kidman, 58, as her week from hell – with thanks to Urban, 57.

THE ULTIMATE DIVORCE SHOCKER: KEITH URBAN'S DESPERATE ATTEMPTS TO EMBARRASS NICOLE KIDMAN

Nicole Kidman, the Oscar-winning actress known for her poise and professionalism, has been left reeling after her husband of 19 years, country music star Keith Urban, embarked on a public war against her. Sources close to Kidman describe the past week as "her worst nightmare," and it's clear that Urban is determined to hurt her in the most public way possible.

Just two weeks ago, Kidman sat calmly on stage at the Nashville Film Festival, discussing filmmaking with ease and charm. But what the audience didn't know was that her home life was a disaster zone. In a shocking move, Urban had moved out of their seven-bedroom mansion in an exclusive gated community in Nashville, leaving Kidman to care for their two daughters, Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14), on her own.

'The fact that he changed the lyrics in the song he wrote about Nic and made it a dedication to his young guitarist Maggie Baugh (pictured) says so much about how he's dealing with their separation and how he feels about Nic,' the source said

But it seems that Urban's attempts to humiliate his wife are far from over. A source close to the couple revealed that he has been "trying to publicly embarrass" Kidman, and has even changed the lyrics of a song he wrote about her to dedicate it to their guitarist, Maggie Baugh (25). The 57-year-old musician sang "I was born to love you" while gazing adoringly at Baugh in April, and insiders claim that the two have been getting cozy.

The fact that Urban would stoop so low as to publicly humiliate his wife is staggering. "He's always been a quiet and reserved person," said a source, "but now it seems like he's switched to a different persona." It's clear that Urban is trying to send a message to Kidman: she's no longer the center of his universe.

But what drove Urban to this point? Insiders claim that the country star has been struggling with his own demons, including cocaine and alcohol addiction. He's spoken openly about his addictions in the past, but it seems that he may be using his wife as a scapegoat for his own personal struggles.

For friends of the actress, this is all so horribly similar to 2001, when then-husband Tom Cruise reportedly blindsided Kidman by filing for divorce shortly after their tenth wedding anniversary.

Kidman, on the other hand, is said to be heartbroken over the break-up of their marriage. "She wanted to still be with Keith," said a source close to the actress, "but here we are. It's been a very sad and frustrating week." Kidman has reportedly been telling friends that she was willing to fight to save their marriage, but it seems that Urban had other plans.

The divorce proceedings have been messy, with both parties seeking custody of their daughters. Insiders claim that Kidman will be granted primary custody, while Urban will get limited access. The parenting agreement they signed over the summer divides up holidays and weekends between them, but it's clear that Urban is using this as an excuse to spend more time with Baugh.

As for Kidman, she seems to be taking things in stride. Sources close to her claim that she's been focusing on her work, including producing a new thriller called "The Silent Wife" and developing the film "Love, Pain and the Whole Damn Thing." She's also optioned a TV series based on the book "A Good Marriage," which is sure to be a thrilling read.

By Wednesday, the strain of being indoors with her thoughts became too much and Kidman went out for a hike with her journalist sister Antonia, 55 (pictured, left)

But despite her professional prowess, it's clear that Kidman is still reeling from the break-up of her marriage. "It's like she's reliving her split from Tom Cruise all over again," said a source close to the actress. The similarities between the two break-ups are uncanny: both times, Cruise filed for divorce shortly after their tenth wedding anniversary, and Kidman was left heartbroken.

As for Urban, it seems that he's determined to move on with his life - and Baugh by his side. But will this desperate attempt to embarrass Kidman ultimately backfire? Only time will tell.

When he married Kidman in 2006, a year after meeting at the G'Day USA gala in Los Angeles, a model, Amanda Wyatt, claimed that they had had an affair throughout his engagement - something Urban's representatives vehemently denied

In a shocking turn of events, Keith Urban has been spotted without his wedding ring while performing in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The move is seen as a clear indication that he's moved on from his marriage to Nicole Kidman and is ready to start anew with his young guitarist Maggie Baugh.
