Country superstar Keith Urban has been through a wreck of a year as his marriage to Nicole Kidman came to an end. They separated after nineteen years and eventually filed for divorce. Now, it appears that Nicole is dating one of Keith’s closest friends in the ultimate betrayal. Keep reading for more details on what is going on.
Keith Urban Experiencing The Ultimate Betrayal
It looked like Keith Urban had found his soulmate in actress Nicole Kidman. She had previously been married to Tom Cruise, with whom she shared two children. After they split, she dated a few other men before finding fellow Australian, Keith, and they fell in love. In 2006, the two married and went on to welcome two daughters, Sunday and Faith. Unfortunately, the couple shocked fans when they announced that they were splitting in September 2025. It looked like Keith had moved on far faster, while allegedly Nicole was holding out hope.
Their divorce was finalized in early 2026, and it appeared that their daughters were sticking by Nicole. Now, Keith Urban has allegedly been betrayed by a very close friend, The Mentalist star Simon Baker. He and Nicole are apparently romancing one another, which is completely unexpected. Per an insider, this is a smack in the face to Keith, and with good reason:
“Keith can’t believe Simon would do this to him. He considered him a good friend and now, everyone’s whispering that he and Nicole are an item. Of course it feels like a betrayal.”
Although Keith has been told repeatedly that he has nothing to worry about, it appears that he is not listening. Rather, he is hurt by his ex-wife and close friend, regardless of what may or may not have happened.
Simon Baker and Nicole Kidman star in Scarpetta together alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and Bobby Cannavale. It currently airs on Amazon Prime and is critically acclaimed, causing quite a stir for various reasons.
A Lot Of Love For Simon
As of now, it is unclear as to what is going on with Nicole Kidman and Simon Baker. Moreover, Keith Urban has not addressed the situation, and he likely won’t as he is a quiet man. However, one thing that is for sure is that fans love Simon. They have nothing but praise for him as an actor and the work that he’s done:
- Simon Baker is the best talented sincere person and actor, and I admire him very much.
- I’ve watched “Limbo” twice. I am watching Scarpetta because Simon is in it. Star power!
- I can’t wait to see this. Love all the actors!
Hopefully, things can be rectified, and Keith Urban won’t lose a good friend over a woman. Do you think that anything is going on between Nicole and Simon, or is it just speculation? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
