Egads, his hair.

His hair has been terrible for years. Maybe if he's having a late mid life crisis he'll get a haircut.

I have never seen one scintilla of appeal in his looks. Nicole used to be beautiful but is so plastic now annd can barely watch her. Although I cannot wait for the release of Practical Magic 2 next year with Sandra Bullock.

They both look equally plastic. She would make a perfect Samantha Stevens remake

You know, I do agree that the over-the-top displays of affection are a bit much, but I really feel for these high profile women. I think it’s very hard for most husbands to accept the fact that their wives are very famous. I remember Gwen Stefani always used to make a big deal talking about how hot she was for Gavin. And what did he do… eventually the stereotype of sleeping with the nanny. A decision that he clearly regrets since he’s clear in recent interview anout how he regrets fumbling Gwen.

I think some of it over the top displays were just to reassure Keith. I don’t know, I’ve never been much of a Nicole Kidman fan, but everything I’m reading about this really makes me sympathize with her.

Good point. It makes sense—reassurance to his fans too.

She’s said as much in interviews when she says she “never stops yearning.”

That's in part why she appears stilted and brittle as a pp said. Because part of her is and additionally she is highly controlled and guarded, like actresses were in the days where they were under the studios. It's just looks like a lot of bullsh*t, lots of energy spent being a celebrity but then in interviews scoffs about how she is an artist...can't imagine living with someone this self absorbed. Maybe he just got tired of it or became involved with someone available and real.

I think there's a lot of truth to this. But not in any way abusive, I think she's incredibly loving to her family (except for being away nonstop and now whatever the break was with KU). I think she's insatiable to the point of a debilitating mental illness and probably narcissistic. She's mentioned in interviews the constant yearning and therefore never satisfied, despite enormous success (and probably unbearable sadness that so many of her projects were clunkers). She says she "feels things deeply." It presents as her being a workaholic but I think it's much deeper (and worse) and makes her actually extremely needy to those around her and ultimately very hard to love. She's also taken the death of her parents extremely hard.
I'm disappointed her PR is working so hard to get ahead of the story. I would have expected the "quiet" separate lives rather than her media blitz while he's on tour and had a concert last night (and coming here next week, BTW).
And that's my opinion coming from a fan of both of them.

Yes...she has done interviews where she said she "tricked her body" into believing she was actually ill like the character and that for months after a film she was in a type of haze and could not respond to her own name. ??? I think she blurs reality ( perhaps a lot) and immerses herself in roles in a way that is not typical...she and her people frame this as her devotion to her art but it sounds more intense, masochistic and actually sort of dissociative, beyond " method". I think she has issues yes. Her hyperattunement and need to modify the body to such extremes is another bad sign.

I have no idea if any of those rumors about her father being accused of sexual abuse are true but maybe there was trauma in the family. Who knows? There's an interview on you tube of her profiled in a kind of 60 minutes Australia news show from the 80's and it was pretty obvious she did some intense nude/sexual scenes in an early movie even as a teen. Now she's letting her minor daughter model...it just gives the ick. And some, actually many of her roles are ick/disturbing too....why would a person be drawn to those very dark themes she has played ( ie matricide in The Others, psychopathy in Malice, To Die For and others) if it did not touch on something familiar? I don't think she's the healthiest person and I have thought that for a long time. She seems like she could be a trauma survivor to me.

These posts are both interesting and probably accurate. I had second hand embarrassment when she talked about having too many orgasms while filming Babygirl. I’ve never heard another actor talk like this—they usually claim no erotic feelings or just don’t talk about it. To be so open and say something that’s just TMI is strange behavior, espresso when you’re married. It points to a blurred reality, as you noted.

^^especially, not espresso. Sheesh.

Prediction:

Keith Urban is dating Kelsea Ballerini…who recently split from that actor from Outer Banks.

The gossip is Keith is dating someone from the Nashville music industry. Timing works.

When a man file for divorce, he has moved on or want to start that processes of taking the next step with someone. Unfortunately, many relationships run its course. Divorce happens to so many women in their 50s. I wonder why. Could it be she's is in post menopause. That means she spent a few years suffering like most women with per menopause symptoms, where she lacks the desire. This happens a lot with women. This will be hard on Nicole cause they have been married a long time.

I like Nicole but she's always been odd. It's gotten worst as she's gotten older. There's a desperation to it now. The way she phased getting tired of acting out the orgasms was so inappropriate. She kept saying how she was present for those scenes and the bluring of lines gave her burnout that she didn't even want to be touched. I dont blame Keith for being annoyed by people questioning him.

Like Ben and JLo. There was no saving that relationship because Ben was done and had moved on before. He like Keith forced JLo's hand to file first but itd not what they wanted.

They clearly had a pre-nup, so needed to work out custody. The fact that he has such a minor custody piece makes me suspicious, and wondering if maybe his substance abuse issues haven't resurfaced. Seems strange he would agree to that when to date he's been the parent who's spent far more time at home.

I agree it's weird. Teenage girls can be very tough. Maybe he's had a tough time with them lately, they wanted more time with their mom, and he agreed to that. Still think it's weird though, especially when he has clearly been the more present parent for a while.

I can see him being okay with it if she's serious about doing projects in Nashville. I am sure he will still them in the midst.Its something she should've thought about beforehand but you cant change the hands of time.

I'd be surprised if the fact that teenage girls are involved isn't relevant. They need their mother in these crucial years. They probably also wanted to stay in the home they grew up in while they finish high school. He's the one who moved out. But it's not like Nicole won't be working. She has three projects to promote next year, and more slated for filming, including BLL. She may not be as busy as she's been for the last decade or so, but she won't exactly be a SAHM. Not that she needs to be!

When you choose to have children you choose to accept responsibility for their well being, often at the expense of your own needs. Their family has broken up, even if they are teens, they need a parent present to help them through that. Not a parent off working all the time. He working is not a financial need, it is a want on her part. A want that should be secondary to her children. It’s just a few years until they are gone. It is not like she’s not gonna be able to get her job at the department of labor statistics back in 4 years. Unless….the nanny has been the primary parent all along, in which case, they probably won’t miss her or him.

It’s called ACTING.

There’s no way someone who works that often and is so focused on their appearance (to do that amount of work), can be a normal person and good partner.

New gal for Keith, I'm reading.

According to TMZ Urban moved out in June and has been in his own place for the last few months. Nicole was hoping to reconcile but that isn't happening so she filed for divorce. Maybe he has met someone new (pre or post separation) and Nicole realizes they are never ever getting back together.
