Keith Urban appeared to direct a song about love to his guitarist Maggie Baugh months before his divorce from Nicole Kidman.
During his April 1 concert in Las Vegas, Urban, 57, shared a special moment with Baugh, 25, during his rendition of “The Fighter.”
As Urban sang the lyric, “I was born to love you,” he seemingly pointed at Baugh across the stage in footage obtained by TMZ on Thursday, October 2.
He seemingly pointed to Baugh again while changing the lyrics to sing, “Maggie, I’ll be your fighter.”
“This is Maggie Baugh, everybody,” Urban said at the end of the performance, sharing a hug with the musician. “Woo!”
Nearly six months later, Us Weekly confirmed that Urban separated from wife Kidman, 58, after 19 years of marriage. Kidman filed for divorce on Tuesday, September 30, citing “irreconcilable differences” in her petition.
In court documents obtained by Us, Kidman also requested to be named the “primary residential parent” of the former couple’s two daughters, 17-year-old Sunday and 14-year-old Faith.
Kidman also submitted a marital dissolution agreement that she and Urban signed, which included a parenting plan, a child support plan and a “parenting seminar order.” Per the parenting plan, the teenagers will spend 306 days each year with Kidman and 59 with Urban, as the exes pledge to coparent as a team.
“In the unlikely event that the parties do not agree on a major decision for either minor child, [Nicole] shall have final decision-making authority,” the plan said, referring to the Big Little Lies actress.
Neither Kidman nor Urban have publicly addressed their breakup. A source, meanwhile, told Us that the pair had been “quietly separated for a while now.”
“[They] needed time to figure out if they were going to actually divorce,” the insider exclusively told Us after Kidman’s filing. “She had faith they could work it out. This wasn’t Nicole’s decision, and she is devastated.”
According to the insider, Kidman felt that “her trust was lost.”
“It was too far gone. Nicole had been trying to get them to work on their marriage and did not want this to get out to the public,” the source added. “She didn’t tell many friends what was really going on with them and was holding this in for months.”
While Kidman and Urban were last seen together at a FIFA Club World Cup game in Nashville in June, the insider claimed that the duo were living “separate lives.”
“Nicole and Keith were not on the same page,” the source told Us. “They are moving in two different directions, and their worlds are not overlapping as much as they once did. The distance between them had grown more obvious recently.”
While Kidman’s been busy with a slate of upcoming film and TV projects, Urban is in the midst of his High and Alive World Tour. He will play his next concert, his first since Kidman filed for divorce, in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on Thursday evening.
