Keith Urban Reportedly 'Slapping NDAs On Flings' As He Sows Wild Oats After Nicole Kidman Split

For nearly two decades, they were the golden couple of the red carpet—a rare, rock-solid union between a Hollywood icon and a country music powerhouse. But just days after their divorce was finalised in a Nashville court on 6 January 2026, the polished image of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban has been replaced by a much more guarded, perhaps even paranoid, reality. As the dust settles on their 19-year marriage, it appears the Grammy-winning singer is taking extraordinary lengths to ensure his new chapter remains firmly under lock and key.

Reports have emerged suggesting that Urban, 58, has implemented a set of 'non-negotiable' rules for his post-divorce romantic life. Far from the open, affectionate display he once shared with Kidman, his current approach to dating is defined by strict nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) and a clandestine lifestyle that keeps his flings far from the public eye.

The Hidden Heartbreak Of Nicole Kidman And Keith Urban: Why Privacy Is Now Non-Negotiable

According to insiders, the You Look Good in My Shirt hitmaker is determined to prevent any details of his personal life from reaching his ex-wife or the wider world. The transition from a public partnership to a solitary, secretive existence has reportedly been driven by a fear of being misunderstood. 'Keith has always been private, but now that he's going through this divorce, he's extra secretive,' a source revealed. 'He wants to sow his wild oats and enjoy himself, but the last thing he needs is for that to get out.'

To facilitate this, any woman invited into his inner circle must allegedly sign a detailed legal document. These NDAs are designed to ensure total silence, a necessity in an era where social media can turn a private dinner into a global headline within minutes. Furthermore, the days of being spotted at trendy Nashville bistros appear to be over for the singer. The insider explained that he 'won't meet anyone out in public – they have to be willing to come over.'

This cloak-and-dagger approach to romance is not just about avoiding tabloid gossip; it is deeply rooted in Urban's emotional state following the split from Kidman, who officially filed for divorce on 30 September 2025, citing 'irreconcilable differences.'

He reportedly feels that the public narrative surrounding the end of his marriage to the Babygirl star has been skewed against him. 'He admits that having these rules for his love life makes things more complicated, but for now at least, that's the only way this will work for him because he just can't handle the judgment he's been getting,' the source added.

Guarding The Future: Nicole Kidman And Keith Urban Navigate Life After The Spotlight

While Urban retreats into a more insular world, the human consequences of the split remain front and centre. The former couple share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, and maintaining an amicable front for their sake is said to be a top priority.

In the recently finalised settlement, Kidman was named the primary residential parent, with the girls spending 306 days a year with her, while Urban has been granted 59 days of custody. Notably, the singer will not be paying monthly child support, having already prepaid all financial obligations in a lump sum.

Urban's desire to keep his 'lips sealed' is largely motivated by a wish to protect his children from the 'dirty laundry' of his and Nicole's relationship. However, despite his best efforts to remain under the radar, the rumour mill has already begun to churn.

In September 2025, whispers of a connection with his 25-year-old guitarist, Maggie Baugh, surfaced after a viral lyric change during a performance of The Fighter on 26 September. While on his High and Alive tour in Chicago, Urban notably swapped the word 'baby' for 'Maggie' while looking directly at his guitarist.

However, their mutual friend Alexandra Kay has since defended the pair, stating that Baugh is 'happily in a relationship' with someone else and has nothing to do with the couple's split. More recently, he has been linked to 26-year-old singer-songwriter Karley Scott Collins, who supported him on his tour and released her debut album, Flight Risk, on the same day the divorce news broke.

Though friends of the musicians have been quick to dismiss these rumours as professional admiration rather than romance, the scrutiny clearly weighs heavily on Urban. He remains convinced that if the public knew the 'full story' behind the breakdown of his marriage, they would see things from his perspective.

Until then, he seems content to live life behind a wall of legal documents and closed doors, ensuring that the legacy of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban remains, at least publicly, one of mutual respect and quiet distance.
