After Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce was finalised late last year, news of the country singer dating younger women began circulating. Although the singer denied the murmurs, it seems his teen daughters were affected by the online chatter. As a result, Urban is being ice out by his daughters, who are sticking by their mom. And for now, Urban is “respecting” their decision.

After divorcing Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban is being iced out by their teen daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, amid raging rumors.

Despite this, according to an insider, the country singer “is never going to give up on his kids, not in a million years.” He is eagerly looking forward to meeting them and clearing things up in person with his girls, who are siding with Kidman for now.

“He respects their decision to stick by their mom’s side for right now but says there’s a lot of B.S. doing the rounds and it’s his duty to look them in the eyes and set the record straight before the whole thing gets totally out of hand,” a source told RadarOnline.com.

Rumors of Urban dating younger women, including Maggie Baugh and Karley Scott Collins, began circulating after his separation from Kidman. Urban has denied the rumours. But as per the source, the “girls have been very freaked out by all the rumors and they’re fiercely protective of their mom, who everyone knows never wanted the marriage to end.”

As a result, the daughters did not “spend Christmas with Keith in Nashville after all.” However, under the custody arrangement, the singer spends 59 days a year with them. And Urban is now “looking forward to welcoming them back to Tennessee with his girls.”

Per the insider, to make their relationship stronger, Urban is prepared “to answer any questions” his daughters “may have about his current dating situation, brainstorm the way things will work moving forward and show them that he still has the utmost respect for their mom no matter what.”

Since Nicole Kidman and her ex-husband, Keith Urban, parted ways after 19 years of marriage, various rumors have circulated on the internet about the country singer allegedly dating younger women. However, if sources are to be believed, the veteran actor isn’t “blindsided by any of this.” In fact, she is dismissing Urban’s recent behavior as a “midlife crisis.”

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban shocked everyone when they announced their separation in September after almost two decades of marriage. Since then, reports of Urban dating younger women, including rising country singer Karley Scott Collins and musician Maggie Baugh, have surfaced. However, the country star has dismissed the reports.

But it seems his ex-wife is seeing his behavior in a different light. A source told OK! Magazine that Kidman “isn’t sitting at home blindsided by any of this. If anything, there’s a sense of weary acceptance. What she feels is more disappointment than shock.”

Moreover, with her former husband’s links to younger women, the Oscar winner feels he is “trying to prove something, perhaps to himself as much as to anyone else.” A source claimed, “In private conversations with close friends, she’s framed it less as scandal and more as a midlife crisis phase, and is making a joke of it.”

However, in the midst of all this, the Hollywood star’s “priority has been creating a calm, grounded environment at home” for her teen daughters — Sunday and Faith. “She’s very deliberate about keeping life steady, reassuring her kids, and making sure the noise from outside doesn’t define how they feel about their parents or themselves,” the insider added.

Meanwhile, Urban seems to have gotten frustrated with the online chatter because “he sees a version of himself circulating online that he doesn’t recognize.” Additionally, he feels that “no matter what he does right now, it’s being put under a microscope.”

MGM Resorts chairman Paul Salem is reportedly interested in dating Nicole Kidman, but this chatter has reportedly gotten under Keith Urban’s skin. Kidman and Urban finalized their divorce in January after 19 years of marriage. Though their split may have stayed polite on paper, sources reportedly suggest the headlines have brought back feelings Urban has not fully seemed to have gotten rid of.

Radar Online exclusively reported that MGM Resorts chairman Paul Salem has expressed interest in dating Nicole Kidman. But this rumor is reportedly not sitting well with Keith Urban. Sources told the outlet that Kidman and Salem share mutual friends and have met twice in group settings. Still, they have not spent time together privately and are not currently dating.

Sources claimed that Kidman is not interested in a new relationship right now anyway. However, even with that, Urban reportedly does not love seeing her tied to anyone so soon.

A source close to Urban claimed, “Keith is raging at the idea of Nicole being linked to anyone so quickly, and the fact he is an older, distinguished multi-millionaire is only fueling that anger and jealousy at the prospect of them getting together.”

The insider added, “Even though the divorce was amicable on paper, it’s still raw for him. Seeing her name connected to a powerful, wealthy executive has hit a nerve.”

Another source claimed, “Keith knew the day when Nicole decided to move on would come, but he didn’t expect speculation about her love life to begin so soon after their divorce was finalized.” Moreover, “He feels protective of his family and doesn’t like the circus that comes with these kinds of romance rumors.”

Kidman and Urban share two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. As for Salem, Radar Online reported that he became MGM Resorts chairman in 2020 and got divorced in 2021.
