Earlier this month, we reported that the Oscar-winning star Nicole Kidman and her country music star husband Keith Urban had separated after 19 years of marriage. At the time, insiders were claiming that Kidman was desperately “fighting to save her marriage.” They also alleged that she’d felt “blindsided” by Urban wanting to separate.
Hours later, however, Kidman, 58, officially filed for divorce from Urban, 57. This came amidst rumors that Urban had already moved on with a “new girlfriend.”
Now, Urban is being accused of treating Kidman like “dirt” as their divorce battle escalates in a big way.
Urban Accused Of Being A ‘Total Jerk’
“There’s no sugarcoating the fact that Keith’s behaved like a total jerk,” an insider alleged. “He’s treated Nicole like dirt at a time when she was most vulnerable.”
Kidman lost her beloved mother last year. As she grieved this major loss, she needed Urban’s love and support more than ever. Instead of offering that, however, Urban distanced himself from Kidman and flirted with other women.
Kidman was reportedly left devastated when video went viral showing Urban changing the lyrics of his song “The Fighter,” which was originally written or her, to be about his 25 year-old guitarist Maggie Baugh.
“It goes without saying that Nicole is devastated and humiliated,” the insider said. “It seemed incomprehensible to her that the love of her life would be capable of such cruelty.”
It’s even been rumored that Baugh is the “younger woman” that Urban has moved on with.
“Nicole’s ego has taken a massive blow. The news about Maggie sent her over the edge and she’s now braced for more revelations about Keith’s sleazy behavior, even as she was trying to save the marriage.”
Check out that video for yourself below.
Kidman And Urban’s History
Kidman and Urban met back in 2005, and they married the next year in 2006. They went on to welcome two daughters together: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Sadly, Kidman filed for divorce on September 30, citing “irreconcilable differences” at the time.
This was Urban’s first and only marriage. Meanwhile, Kidman was married to her fellow A-list Hollywood star Tom Cruise from 1990 until 2001. Their divorce was extremely bitter, which may explain why she was particularly so reluctant to split from Urban. Indeed, insiders have claimed that Kidman fought to save her marriage with everything she has.
“She didn’t want this,” a source told People Magazine after Kidman filed. “She has been fighting to save the marriage.”
Kidman Feels ‘So Much Resentment’ Towards Urban
Last week, insiders spoke out to claim that while Kidman is staying positive, she also feels “so much resentment” towards Urban.
“In so many respects Nicole is doing brilliantly,” a source close to Kidman told Star Magazine. “She’s been a total pro throughout this, and her number one goal is to stay strong and not crumble for the sake of her daughters, as well as herself.”
The insider went on to say that this is “easier said than done.”
“Keith was the love of her life, and it’s not that simple to just turn those feelings off like a tap,” the source continued. “She’s been on autopilot, cramming her schedule like crazy and sticking tight to friends who are longing to set her up for some fun once she gives the word.”
These insiders warned that while Kidman may seem like she’s holding it all together, “the dam has to burst at some point soon.”
“She has so much resentment and heartache that’s inevitably going to come to the surface,” the source concluded. “And when that happens it’s not going to be pretty.”
Divorce is never easy, particularly after so many years together. Please join us in saying a prayer for both Urban and Kidman as they navigate this difficult chapter of their lives!
