Friends close to Keith Urban are reportedly growing increasingly concerned about the country star’s emotional well-being following his divorce from actress Nicole Kidman, according to a report by the Daily Mail.
An insider from Urban’s inner circle claimed the singer has been struggling deeply since the end of his nearly two-decade-long marriage, describing him as “completely lost without his family.” The source alleged that Urban missed his daughter Faith’s birthday celebration and spent Christmas alone, further fueling worries about his state of mind.
“Keith no longer knows where his home is,” the insider said. “He’s throwing himself into work, which keeps him anchored in Nashville, but this is someone who was born in New Zealand, grew up in Australia, and built a family life in the United States. All of his emotional landmarks are gone. He’s lost his sense of direction.”
According to the source, Urban’s friends have quietly stepped in to support him, making sure he isn’t completely isolated as he navigates life after the split. They reportedly fear that without the structure of family life, the singer is using his career as an emotional crutch to cope with the upheaval.
Keith Urban is said to be leaning heavily on close friends following the end of his marriage
The news comes after it was officially confirmed on January 7 that Nicole Kidman had finalized her divorce from Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage. In court documents, Kidman cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the separation, despite months of speculation and rumors surrounding possible infidelity.
According to reports, the former couple agreed to waive child support and split legal expenses evenly. Custody arrangements reportedly state that their two daughters will primarily live with Kidman, while Urban will spend time with them every other weekend.
The split itself was first revealed publicly on September 29. TMZ later reported that the pair had been living separately since early summer. During that period, Kidman was allegedly carrying most of the responsibility for caring for their children while Urban remained largely absent due to work commitments.
Those close to the singer say the reality of being separated from his daughters has been particularly difficult for him to accept. While Urban continues to maintain a busy schedule, insiders claim that behind the scenes he is struggling with loneliness and a sense of disconnection from the life he once knew.
For now, Urban is said to be focusing on his music and touring obligations, but friends worry that constant movement and work may only be masking deeper emotional wounds left by the collapse of his marriage.
“He’s always been a family man at heart,” the source added. “Without that anchor, he’s drifting.”
