Country music superstar Keith Urban, 57, finds himself at the center of a swirling scandal as resurfaced video footage captures him in a seemingly flirtatious exchange with his 25-year-old touring guitarist, Maggie Baugh, just months before his wife, Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, filed for divorce after 19 years of marriage. The clip, from an April 1, 2025, performance in Las Vegas during Urban’s High and Alive World Tour, shows the singer altering lyrics to his 2016 hit “The Fighter”—a track originally inspired by his romance with Kidman—to directly reference Baugh, pointing at her while crooning, “I was born to love you,” and later, “When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player.” The moment, which ended with the pair sharing a hug onstage, has ignited rampant speculation about an affair, especially amid reports that Urban had already separated from Kidman by early summer and may have moved on with a “younger woman in the music business.”

Kidman, 58, stunned Hollywood on September 30, 2025, when she filed for divorce in Davidson County Circuit Court in Tennessee, citing “irreconcilable differences” and listing the separation date as the same day. The filing came just one day after PEOPLE confirmed the couple had quietly split, with sources revealing Urban had “set up his own place” in Nashville, signaling the “writing was on the wall.” The pair, who share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, agreed on a parenting plan weeks earlier—Urban signed on August 29, Kidman on September 6—mandating both attend a seminar within 60 days and outlining shared custody arrangements. Court documents also disclosed their substantial incomes: Kidman reportedly earns around $10 million monthly, while Urban pulls in about $2 million.

The divorce has turned “dramatic,” according to insiders, with Kidman feeling “very betrayed” and “shocked” by Urban’s apparent quick pivot to new romance. “All the signs point to the fact that Keith is with another woman,” multiple sources told TMZ, noting Kidman “doesn’t dispute that” but remains devastated. Urban, spotted sans wedding ring at recent outings, has been described as “going through some stuff” and “making questionable choices,” fueling whispers of a midlife crisis amid his grueling tour schedule. Despite the turmoil, Kidman has appeared “surprisingly level-headed and calm,” focusing on her daughters and career, including upcoming projects like Big Little Lies and Practical Magic 2.

Enter Maggie Baugh, the Florida-born, classically trained violinist and TikTok sensation who joined Urban’s band as a multi-instrumentalist. The 25-year-old rising star, known for her viral covers and Nashville hustle, has been thrust into the spotlight unwillingly after fans dissected the Las Vegas footage. In the video, shared by Baugh on social media, Urban’s body language—pointing directly at her during the improvised lines—appeared charged, leading to comments like “OK, dumping Nicole is looking more suspect” and accusations of “trashy” behavior toward a song dedicated to his wife. Nashville insiders describe Music City as “one big high school,” where rumors of Urban and Baugh “having a thing for a few months” have spread like wildfire. One radio pro noted Urban’s “mannerisms” suggest strong onstage chemistry, but emphasized it’s common in performances.

Baugh, however, has faced backlash, with Kidman supporters flooding her posts. Her father, Chuck Baugh, vehemently denied any romance, telling outlets, “NO. Just no,” and clarifying she’s merely a bandmate. Reports emerged that Baugh may have a boyfriend, lighting designer Cameron Coley, with whom she shared a romantic social media post in March and previously cohabited in Nashville. Neighbors confirmed sightings of her with gear but no Urban, and FedEx deliveries linked to Coley. Defenders point out Urban’s history of playful interactions with other bandmates, like Natalie Stovall, during the same song, suggesting it’s performative flair rather than infidelity.

Urban and Kidman’s union, once hailed as a Hollywood success story, began at a 2005 G’Day USA gala in Los Angeles, where mutual friend Geoffrey Rush introduced them. Urban waited four months to call, later admitting self-doubt, but they married in Sydney, Australia, in June 2006. Early challenges included Urban’s rehab stint for addiction just four months post-wedding, which he credited Kidman for supporting through an intervention. The couple welcomed daughters via surrogacy in 2008 and 2010, blending Kidman’s two adopted kids from her prior marriage to Tom Cruise.

Publicly, they projected unity: Kidman celebrated their 19th anniversary in June 2025 with a cuddly Instagram post, and they attended events like the Academy of Country Music Awards together in May. Urban honored Kidman at her 2024 AFI Life Achievement Award, praising her role in his sobriety: “If you want to see what love in action really looks like, give that a whirl.” Yet, cracks appeared: Urban abruptly ended a July radio interview when asked about Kidman’s onscreen kisses with younger co-stars like Zac Efron. Insiders cited clashing schedules—Kidman’s film sets versus Urban’s tours—as eroding intimacy, with the couple living apart since June.

Post-filing, Urban resumed touring, dropping “The Fighter” from setlists and tweaking other songs with pointed lyrics like “stupid bulls–t reasons” in “You’ll Think of Me,” which fans linked to the split. He performed sans Baugh in some shows, amid unconfirmed reports of her potential boyfriend. Kidman, meanwhile, made her first public appearance at a charity event in Dallas, urging unity: “We are better when we look out for each other.” She was spotted hiking with her sister, appearing composed.

The saga echoes past warnings: Urban’s ex-fiancée, Laura Sigler, once predicted his relationships wouldn’t last, words resurfacing as eerie prophecy. While no concrete evidence ties Baugh romantically to Urban—her dad insists it’s professional—the optics have amplified a narrative of betrayal in a town where gossip thrives. As assets like their Nashville home and Kidman’s reported “cocaine clause” from early marriage docs surface, the divorce promises more twists. For now, two entertainment titans navigate heartbreak under the glare of public scrutiny, their once-idyllic love story reduced to tabloid fodder and viral videos.
