After weeks of speculation and emotional headlines, it seems Keith Urban is taking a step back from the spotlight.
The country superstar, 57, is reportedly keeping to himself as he comes to terms with the end of his nearly two-decade marriage to Nicole Kidman.
According to Woman’s Day, Urban has been deliberately avoiding red carpet events and public appearances while he works through the emotional fallout of the breakup.
Avoiding the Spotlight and Public Scrutiny
Insiders say the singer is finding it hard to face the intense media attention surrounding his split from the Oscar-winning actress.
“Things are just too awkward right now, and Keith doesn’t have the confidence to face all the press,” a source told the outlet.
“Part of him is embarrassed to show his face on a red carpet until things settle down with his divorce.”
For now, Urban is said to be focusing his energy on his music and upcoming tour.
“The last thing he needs is to overshadow his new show with all his personal issues,” the insider added.
Nicole Kidman Steps Out Looking Confident and Glamorous
While Urban keeps a low profile, Kidman appears to be leaning into her independence.
Earlier this week, the 58-year-old actress turned heads on social media after posting a series of striking photos.
Dressed in a sleek, form-fitting black gown with a daring thigh-high slit, Kidman looked every inch the Hollywood star.
Her long, honey-blonde hair fell gracefully over her shoulders as she posed for Clé de Peau Beauté, the luxury skincare brand she represents.
But fans couldn’t help but notice a subtle message in her accessories — a diamond-encrusted gold snake necklace and matching bracelet — which many interpreted as a symbolic nod to her ex-husband.
Subtle Messages and Emotional Strength
Just days before, Kidman opened up in a candid conversation with Harper’s Bazaar, reflecting on resilience, heartbreak, and personal growth.
“As I get older, I want to be able to share and impart the things I’ve learned,” she said.
“I’ve seen a lot, I’ve experienced a lot, and I’ve survived a lot.”
Though she didn’t directly mention Urban, her comments about “surviving pain and devastation” seemed to mirror the emotional turmoil of her recent split.
Finding Peace and Moving Forward
When asked about the best part of getting older, Kidman offered a deeply introspective answer.
“The experiences that you’ve accumulated,” she shared. “You go, ‘Oh, I’ve been here before.
I know how to handle this now.’ Or maybe I haven’t been in this exact place, but I know I’ll get through it.”
She continued, “No matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is, there’s always a way through. You’re going to have to feel it.”
For now, both stars seem to be taking very different approaches to healing — Kidman by stepping out with grace and confidence, and Urban by retreating into quiet reflection and creativity.
