Keith Urban can have a court-stamped parenting plan, a Nashville address, and a sold-out calendar, and still find himself iced out where it hurts. RadarOnline claims the singer's daughters have pulled back from him in the aftermath of his split from Nicole Kidman, stung by persistent talk that he has already moved on with younger women.​

What is confirmed is the legal scaffolding around the breakup. Kidman filed for divorce on Sept. 30, citing 'irreconcilable differences,' and the divorce was finalized on Jan. 6 in Tennessee's Davidson County Circuit Court.

Court records reviewed by USA TODAY say the pair agreed to a parenting plan and waived spousal and child support, with their daughters primarily living with Kidman.​ The rest sits in the murky zone of rumor, unnamed insiders, and an industry that loves a storyline. Take it with a grain of salt until either camp addresses it directly.

Divorce Rumors Pull the Kids In

RadarOnline's claim is blunt and ugly. An unnamed source alleges Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, now view their father as 'an insensitive dog' and are keeping him at arm's length while 'firmly supporting their mom.'

The same report says the girls initially defended him and hoped the chatter was not true, but have since concluded he is 'hot and heavy with someone,' even if he will not name her.​

That framing matters because it casts the teenagers less as passive passengers and more as moral referees. Caution is warranted with any tabloid narrative that assigns minors neat motivations and crisp dialogue, particularly when none of it is on the record. Still, it is the kind of allegation that spreads precisely because it feels plausible to anyone who has witnessed a family fracture in public.

The source lists a trio of women Urban has been linked to in Nashville music circles, including bandmate Maggie Baugh, 25, as well as Kelsea Ballerini, 32, and Karley Scott Collins, 26. The outlet notes Urban has not confirmed any relationship.​

Outside the tabloid ecosystem, some reporting undercuts the easy assumption that Baugh is the obvious 'other woman.' Fox News Digital reported that Baugh has been romantically linked to a lighting designer named Cameron Coley, citing social media posts and a reported anniversary message. Taste of Country also argued there is no evidence Urban is dating Baugh, describing the timing of fan speculation as 'unfortunate' and not supported by confirmation.

What the Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban Divorce Paperwork Actually Says

For readers in the UK and elsewhere, Tennessee divorces can look deceptively simple on the surface, but the paperwork is detailed, particularly around children. USA TODAY reported that the final decree includes a parenting plan spelling out how time is divided and how parents make major decisions.​

According to USA TODAY's review of the filings, the girls will primarily live with Kidman, spending 306 days a year with their mother, and Urban gets time including every other weekend. The same report says Kidman and Urban will be jointly responsible for major decisions while the children are minors. It is an arrangement designed to function whether the adults are cordial or not, which is the point of family court orders.​

None of that paperwork answers the question people actually fixate on, which is whether Urban is dating, and whether the girls believe their mother has been disrespected. As of the reports cited here, there has been no public confirmation from Kidman or Urban addressing the claims about the children or any new relationship.

Kidman is weighing a move back to Australia with the girls, a prospect that would make any father sweat even in a calm divorce. If that is truly on the table, it also raises practical questions about distance and access that courts tend to treat with seriousness rather than sentiment.

For now, the loudest voices are anonymous, the hard facts are legal filings, and two teenagers are being written into an adult story they did not choose.
