Nicole Kidman‘s adult kids – Bella and Connor – are rallying around the star amid her divorce from their stepdad, Keith Urban, and are telling the Big Little Lies beauty to never look back, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
According to sources, Bella, 32, and 30-year-old Connor – who Kidman adopted with first husband Tom Cruise – were never fond of the Nashville hitmaker and are being supportive of their mother’s decision to file for divorce in late September after 19 years of marriage.
Bella Urged Nicole To Leave
An insider said: “Nicole was in London all summer, and she spent a ton of time with Bella while she was there. Bella has had a front-row seat to this split, and she encouraged Nicole to take a hard stance and take the legal steps to separate.
“Nicole was keeping the marriage on life support, and it was sucking the soul out of her.”
The insider shared Kidman’s oldest children were able to make the Oscar winner see she was being hurt by the “whole perfect marriage charade she was trying to keep up.”
Both Kids Didn’t Approve Of The Marriage
The insider further shared: “Bella and Connor never understood what Nicole saw in Keith. It was tough to watch her go from their dad – this handsome superstar who handed her the world on a platter – to this random country singer. It didn’t help that Keith landed in rehab a few months after they got married and put Nicole through hell.”
Connor made no secret of his feelings about being around 58-year-old Urban, while Bella never warmed to the crooner, who is dad to Nicole’s kids Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, the insider confided.
The ‘Silver Lining’ For Nicole
Kidman, 58, was rarely seen with Bella and Connor following her 2001 split with their Top Gunstar father – but the source says she’s now on good terms with them.
“They both had a real issue with Keith. With him gone, things are bound to get even better between them and Nicole,” the insider explained.
“This split has thrown her for a huge loop, but if it leads to a better relationship with her kids, no doubt that will be a big silver lining for her.”
Keith Urban struggling after Nicole Kidman divorce
Keith Urban is reportedly facing tough times following his split from Nicole Kidman.
Insiders recently told Radar Online that the country superstar is nearing a breaking point after his divorce from Nicole.
Keith recently left fans stunned when he toppled backward after a fan told him her name was “Nicole” at Bridgestone Arena.
A source stated, “Keith is running on empty. He’s acting like a lost soul, and there’s a lot of concern that he’s in emotional free fall without Nicole by his side.”
“This was obviously Keith’s way of making light about his current situation. But the painful and undeniable truth is that he’s extremely fragile, and a lot of folks are worried about him,” they added.
As per the sources, Keith is more alone than ever. “Keith has given everything he has to becoming a better musician, and right now it looks like that’s wrecked his personal life.”
“Even in their happiest years, Keith’s loner streak and introversion tested Nicole’s patience. Now that they’ve called it quits, Keith is more alone than ever,” the source said.
However, Keith Urban is going to go “alone” in the next chapter of his life, and “he’s going to do it far away from Los Angeles, just how he likes it.”
Nicole Kidman filed for divorce from the father of two on September 30, citing irreconcilable differences.
“He’s extremely fragile”: Without Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban Is a Reportedly “Lost Soul”
Keith Urban is reportedly on the verge of a mental meltdown after he mockingly showed agony at the mention of Nicole Kidman’s name recently.
Keith Urban reportedly showed mock agony on stage during his final show in Tennessee, but sources close to him suggest that he is genuinely close to a mental meltdown. Sources reflected on Urban’s on-stage antics with RadarOnline. At Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, the country singer staggered back and fell down when a fan mentioned her name was Nicole.
Sources told the outlet that his actions on stage actually worried people close to him. They questioned his emotional stability after his 19-year marriage to Nicole Kidman ended. A source shared, “Keith is running on empty. He’s acting like a lost soul, and there’s a lot of concern that he’s in emotional free fall without Nicole by his side.”
Another source shared that the mock agony was his way of making light of the situation. However, the source claimed that Urban was “extremely fragile” currently. The source shared:
This was obviously Keith’s way of making light about his current situation. But the painful and undeniable truth is that he’s extremely fragile, and a lot of folks are worried about him.
Kidman filed for divorce on September 30. They got married in June 2006 and shared two kids, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
Sources Shut Down the Rumors of Keith Urban’s New Romance
TMZ reported on September 30 that Keith Urban was already involved with another woman amid his split with Nicole Kidman. Multiple sources told the outlet that “all the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman.” One source close to Kidman told the outlet, “It’s all over Nashville.”
According to the Daily Mail, insiders claimed that Keith Urban was in a relationship with “a younger woman in the music industry.” Later, some sources suggested that the “other woman” was his 25-year-old guitarist, Maggie Baugh.
However, the recent reports suggested that Baugh’s friends have denied the rumors. They insisted that she never dated Urban and added that she had a rule against flings with bandmates. A source shared that, contrary to the reports of his alleged relationship, he was lonelier than ever. They shared:
Keith has given everything he has to becoming a better musician, and right now it looks like that’s wrecked his personal life. Even in their happiest years, Keith’s loner streak and introversion tested Nicole’s patience. Now that they’ve called it quits, Keith is more alone than ever.
Some social media searches, as per the Daily Mail, showed that Baugh has a boyfriend. There were personal pictures of the guitarist with a 25-year-old lighting designer, Cameron Coley.
Reports Suggest Nicole Kidman Is In Good Headspace
According to RadarOnline’s source, many of the former couple’s friends support Nicole Kidman. The source shared that her friends believed that the “charismatic and successful” Kidman was “a bridge-builder and a connector”, which Keith Urban was not.
A source earlier revealed to Us Weekly that Nicole Kidman was keeping her spirits high in these tough times. The source claimed that she was keeping herself busy, adding that work “helps push her forward.” They also added that the Babygirl actress was in a “good headspace and has been very positive.” The source shared:
She is pushing forward in a good way. She isn’t necessarily trying to find her new normal throughout all of this, because they had been quietly separated for a while now.
The source added that this new chapter in Kidman’s life felt more like “a transition than a shock.” The source also shared that Kidman’s biggest challenge would be to navigate the “new dynamic” with her daughters. The insider shared how Kidman was dealing with the now broken apart family. They shared:
The last thing Nicole wanted was a broken family. She raised her daughters to be strong and is leading by example for them.
According to Hollywood insider Rob Shuter, Kidman was focusing on creating stability in the home. Shuter’s source shared, “She’s turning their home into a sanctuary. There’s yoga, journaling, family dinners — all about healing.” The source also shared that Kidman and Urban’s daughters have chosen to side with their mother.
