Sources say Keith Urban is planning a new album focused on themes of heartbreak and getting even, following his separation from Nicole Kidman.
The high-profile couple finalised their divorce in January after 19 years of marriage.
Country singer Russell Dickerson, a friend of Keith’s, recently mentioned that Keith is creating new music.
There’s talk that Keith, age 58, is pouring his feelings about the breakup into a new album, which insiders say will be incredibly emotional and powerful.
According to Woman’s Day, Keith Urban is processing his split from Nicole Kidman by writing songs, and he’s reportedly discovered he has plenty of material to work with. Sources say he’s proving to be just as candid about his feelings as artists like Taylor Swift and Lily Allen.
According to a source, 58-year-old Nicole worried that her husband, Keith, might start writing songs about their relationship struggles, similar to how Taylor Swift often turns heartbreak into music.
‘Nicole’s freaking out,’ the source claimed.
Despite the restrictions Keith faces due to his divorce agreement, his ex-wife couldn’t control what he created musically.
‘It’s the only outlet he has to express himself and she’s right to be worried.’
Okay, so I’ve heard from someone close to Nicole, and honestly, it’s heartbreaking! She’s terrified Keith will spill their private stuff – you know, point out her imperfections – to everyone. She’s taking every possible step to make sure he doesn’t, like she’s building a fortress around their relationship! It’s just… she really doesn’t want him airing their dirty laundry, and I totally get why! I’m so worried for her!
Keith is working on his thirteenth studio album, which is expected to be released sometime after his previous one in 2024.
It hit the top of the ARIA Country Albums chart, and number three on the ARIA Albums chart.
The album peaked at number 38 on the Billboard 200 chart and reached the top ten on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
During a performance in Pennsylvania last October, Keith altered the lyrics to his song “You’ll Think of Me,” a song about heartbreak, shortly after news of his split from Nicole became public.
He playfully altered the phrase ‘Take your space and take your reasons,’ replacing the end with a more colorful ‘Take your bulls reasons,’ as reported by Us Weekly.
Oh my gosh, you guys, I nearly fainted when I heard Russell Dickerson casually mentioned he’d been hanging out with Keith Urban! It was at Country to Country last month, can you believe it?! Just picturing those two together is making my day. I’m officially losing it!
Although he didn’t have much time with Keith Urban at the festival, Dickerson said the musician appeared to be doing well, even after his separation from Nicole Kidman.
He’s always been passionate about music, and now he’s really dedicating himself to it, which is wonderful. I’m excited to see what he creates.
Meanwhile, wild rumours recently emerged that Nicole is dating The Mentalist star Simon Baker, 56.
She recently finished working on the Amazon Prime Video thriller series, Scarpetta, where she acted alongside Simon, who is reportedly her romantic partner.
During the show’s premiere in New York City, the co-stars were reportedly spotted holding hands.
Nicole described the connection between them as incredibly strong, saying there’s a real ‘vibe’ between them. Simon playfully responded by refusing to discuss their personal life.
Sources say Keith is deeply upset by the playful interaction and how fast Nicole seems to be moving forward after their separation.
Let me tell you, seeing Nicole and Simon together really hit him hard. A source close to the situation shared with me that it felt like watching his best friend with his girlfriend – it was a genuinely upsetting experience for him.
He understood why she was seeking support from Simon, as he had also been there for Naomi Watts when she and Liev Schreiber separated.
‘Keith is hoping they’re just hamming it up for headlines.’
