Urban, the source claims, has so far allowed suggestions that he was to blame for the break‑up to circulate largely unchallenged. He is said to feel that he has kept his counsel, taken the hits, and tried not to escalate matters, only to find himself written out of the picture anyway. ‘He’s let the narrative about him being the villain circulate without correcting it, and he gets no thanks,’ the insider says.

A Tell-All From Keith Urban Would Mark A Sharp Turn

Against that backdrop, the idea that Keith Urban might sit down for a tell‑all conversation is doing the rounds. The same source speculates that ‘it won’t shock anyone if he decides to tell all in some fashion, to set the record straight. What does he have to lose?’

Urban has long cultivated a genial, grateful public persona, careful around personal drama. A revenge-flavoured interview would be a marked departure.

Keith Urban’s Financial Situation Questioned After Expensive Divorce From Nicole Kidman

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman‘s fans were surprised last year when it was announced that they were divorcing after 19 years of marriage.

Details later emerged with sources saying that the two had been living separately and the actress ultimately had no choice but to file for divorce after Urban ignored her attempts to try and make things work. Kidman cited “irreconcilable differences” and requested to be named the “primary residential parent” of their daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

Their divorce was finalized in early 2026 and involved splitting a global property empire valued at over $280 million. While the specific total legal costs are not known, the settlement required them to pay their own legal fees, with reports that the high-profile separation was financially significant, although they waived spousal support. And now something Urban signed on to do recently has some claiming that he’s having financial problems.

Before his divorce from Kidman, Urban reportedly had an estimated net worth of $75 million. But all signs point to that number taking a hit after his latest gig was on a cruise ship. The “Your Everything” singer performed in front of about 1,000 people on board the Bahamas-bound Top Shelf Country Cruise vessel.

That is a far cry from the arenas he’s used to selling out, but does it mean he has money woes?

There’s really no way to tell since the details of the settlement have not been made public. However, it’s common knowledge that divorce lawyers for high-profile celebrities are not cheap. And insiders told New Idea Magazine that there’s no denying the cruise ship was a notable downgrade for Urban, with one source insisting, “It’s the kind of gig that Keith would have turned his nose up at during his marriage to Nicole.”

Another source added, “Cruise ships are not exactly the dream gig, but they pay the bills — and it gives Keith something to focus on. He’s trying to stay busy now that his divorce is finalized.”

While a third said, the musician is “putting a bright spin on everything right now,” despite the contrast between the cruise performance and his recent sell-out tour, adding, “Keith is determined to keep working while he figures out, with his new management team, some exciting plans for the latter part of this year.”

There were also rumors that some in Urban’s circle were concerned he was going through a “midlife crisis” after his eldest daughter’s March cover interview with Elle Australia, in which she praised her mother but made no mention of her father.

“My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life. She’s a key part of everything I do,” Sunday told the magazine.

That comes on the heels of reports that both daughters have cut their dad off since their parents’ split and are not on speaking terms with him at this time.

As for the cruise, the price passengers paid for their seven-day voyage ranged from $6,700 to $19,000, but just how much Keith received for the gig was not disclosed.

EXCLUSIVE: Nicole Kidman flaunts her new love – Simon Baker!

Keith Urban refused to believe it – but now there’s picture proof

Nicole Kidman says their chemistry “just vibrates”, while Simon Baker coyly joked, “I don’t kiss and tell.”

Now the rumoured couple have debuted their romance on the Scarpetta red carpet, and it has Nicole’s ex-husband Keith Urban reeling.

RED CARPET DEBUT

“Seeing Nicole and Simon holding hands was the equivalent of seeing his best mate with his missus and it did a number on him. He knew it was natural for her to lean on Simon – he was also there for Naomi [Watts] after her split from Liev. The difference is back then Simon wasn’t single,” an insider reveals to Woman’s Day.

“Keith is hoping they’re just hamming it up for headlines, but even then it feels to him like it’s a betrayal because both Nicole and Simon know how much even the hint of a romance between them will hurt him. He already suspected they were getting close while filming. This is his worst nightmare come true.”

Just hours after they held hands on the Scarpetta red carpet, a “glowing” Nicole, 58, was spotted sneaking into a star-studded afterparty for the New York premiere of Amazon’s new adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s book series – and handsome Simon, 56, who plays Nicole’s husband in the show, was right by her side.

According to Page Six’s spies, the pair, along with co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, spent plenty of time “deep in conversation” at the private soiree held at Cafe Zaffri at The Twenty Two New York.
“The trio were spotted chatting together in a cosy corner of the dining room, deep in conversation and clearly enjoying each other’s company,” the source shared.

Nicole and Simon have known each other for decades. The actress is friends with Simon’s ex-wife Rebecca Rigg and is godmother to his son Harry, 24. She’s so close, in fact, to Rebecca that Nicole recently told The Daily Telegraph the women “are the same person”, as she revealed she “begged” Simon to work alongside her.

It’s the familiarity of Simon and Nicole that is getting to Keith.

“He hates that they’re giving interviews about how close they are. He’s in total shock that she would flaunt a new relationship so soon after their divorce. It’s not what they agreed on for the sake
of the girls.”

Adding to Keith’s heartbreak is the fact that his daughters Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15, are still giving him the silent treatment since the split in September.

“Simon poses a real threat to Keith because the girls absolutely adore him. He’s been like a fun uncle to them since they were babies. If Nicole’s in a relationship with Simon, he needs to be told. He can see it impacting on his already fractured relationship with Sunday and Faith,” says the insider.

“Don’t discount how much seeing her hold another guy’s hand on the red carpet will affect him. He knows better than anyone how much she used to lean on him in those moments – now she’s relying on Simon and it’s hard for him to see.”

EXCLUSIVE: Keith Urban snubbed by model daughter Sunday Rose

It’s been a trying time for the family.

Keith Urban is said to be in a world of pain right now, after his eldest daughter, Sunday, failed to mention him in a new interview.

Sunday graces the cover of our sister publication ELLE Australia’s March issue. In the interview inside, Sunday heaped praise on her mother – but the model failed to namecheck her country music star dad.

“My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life. She’s a key part of everything I do,” Sunday, 17, told the publication.

The teen also singled out Nicole as being the one responsible for her work ethic.

“The biggest piece of industry advice Mum has given to me is to always be on time,” Sunday said.

“I’ve travelled my whole life and my mum is a really good traveller, so she has taught me how to be one, too, which makes it so fun to travel and enjoy all the different places.”

New Idea’s source says Keith, 58, is “just numb” over the interview.

He hasn’t been seen in public with Sunday or her sister, Faith, 15, since his split from Nicole was announced last September.

Nicole has primary custody.

“Keith doesn’t know what to say, but he’s trying to put on a brave front. He knows he has to be patient; however, this latest snub – so publicly, there in black and white – has stumped him,” says an insider.

“It’s like he doesn’t exist.”

Nicole was granted primary custody of Sunday and Faith in their January 2026 divorce agreement.

The filing states that Nicole gets the girls for 306 days of the year, while Keith has them for the remaining 59.

The couple also agreed on having the girls on alternating, yearly schedules for holidays.

“Of course, Keith wants more time with them,” our source previously said of the arrangement.

“It’s heartbreaking seeing Nicole constantly out and about with the girls, who are clearly very protective of their mum right now.”

Nicole spent Christmas in Sydney with Sunday and Faith and has been spotted with them on numerous public outings since, while Keith has remained absent from the public eye.

“That doesn’t mean he’s not with them!” our source pointed out. “All he’s doing is sticking to the custody agreement.”
