I don't doubt she has a PR firm managing this for her, but something is definitely up with him. He fired the whole band that had played with him for 25 years. I wonder if it isn't a standard midlife crisis driven by the fact that his latest album didn't do well, while her career has been skyrocketing the past few years. Which does mean little time together, yes.

What a clueless post. "Messed Up As Me" (2024) is a massive, massive hit song with cross-over appeal.

No, Keith Urban's latest album, High (2024), was not considered successful by typical metrics; it debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard 200, marking his lowest-peaking album in 25 years and first to miss the top 10 in over two decades. While his previous album, The Speed of Now Part 1 (2020), was a success, reaching No. 7 on the Billboard 200, the most recent album underperformed.

I always thought they were a weird, unconvincing couple. The fact they lasted 19 years together is amazing.

Objectively Keith Urban is not that successful though I wouldn’t call him unsuccessful. He sold in his whole career about 17 million albums globally - while that’s a lot of albums, when you look at other artists who were selling albums at a time when people were actually buying albums, that’s not a lot.

For reference, if you’re at all up on the Bad Bunny Super Bowl thread happening now, Bad Bunny started seven years ago and has sold over 100 million albums.

I’m not bashing Keith Urban because hey, I’ve sold zero albums so good on him, but he’s been around a long time and to only have that number of album sales means he’s a moderate success.

+1
I thought he was gay for this reason.

I never thought he was gay. He dated before Nicole. He seemed genuinely infatuated and loving to me. Also, why ink up his body with tributes if it wasn't real? Hard to tell with her, she's so 'actressy.'

Keith is just a country music artist, so there’s a limited pool of album buyers. It’s not an apples to apples comparison with Bad Bunny’s album sales since he’s a crossover artist who appeals to pop, rock, rap fans in both Spanish speaking, English speaking, and other countries.

Country artists aren’t ever as big as crossover artists—which is why Taylor Swift branched out to pop music.

Honestly, not trying to be rude, but you just have no idea what you are talking about. Country music is a huge genre and a big portion of the country buys it. Zach Bryan, a young guy who has really just started has already sold 30 million albums.

Carrie Underwood, a woman in country which has an even higher uphill climb, has sold 85 million albums. country albums are some of the best selling. For KU to be in this genre and to be in it so long it only hit 17 million he simply just not that successful.

Zach Bryan is not a “country artist”.
Yes, CU had massive & crossover appeal, sings for NFL, etc.

Knew something was off with the way she was promoting it. I dont think it was about the role or it be so sexual necessary but it represented a much bigger issue in their relationship

This is flimsy reporting at best. And once more seems to be coming from her camp.

It’s certainly not a news report but it’s the only tidbit that doesn’t sound like it came directly from her camp. And he didn’t attend the premiers or other press she did for babygirl and he shut down interviews that asked about it.
