Keith Urban has made a raw confession that has left fans reeling.
The Australian country star revealed feeling 'completely lonely and miserable' on tour.
His honesty comes amid shocking news about his marriage to Nicole Kidman.
Emotional Toll of Touring
The 57-year-old singer shared his emotional state on the debut episode of The Road, a reality TV series hosted by Blake Shelton, airing just weeks after Kidman filed for divorce on 30 September, citing irreconcilable differences.
Urban described the toll of touring life in stark terms: 'When you wake up on a tour bus at 3:30 in the morning and you're sick as a dog, you're in the middle of nowhere and you've got to play your fifth show later that night, and you haven't slept, and you miss your friends, and you're missing your family, and you're completely lonely and miserable and sick.'
He admitted the only answer to 'Why am I doing this?' is 'Because this is what I'm born to do,' highlighting a man torn between his career and family.
Separation Timeline
Sources reveal the couple had been living apart since early summer 2025, with Urban acquiring a separate residence in Nashville.
The separation became public on 29 September, and within 24 hours Kidman filed for divorce in Davidson County Circuit Court.
Court documents show Keith’s notary signed on 29 August, and Nicole’s on 6 September, indicating the divorce had been planned for months.
The couple, both Australian, married in Sydney in 2006 after meeting at a G’Day USA Gala in Los Angeles in 2005.
Challenges Behind Closed Doors
'Keith never sees Nicole, either she is filming or he is on tour. There was a lot of love between the two and they might not divorce. They been together for decades so there is a world which they can reconcile, but the way their pairing is now, they are not a couple.'
The source added: 'The intimacy isn't there, they are just going through the motions [of being married]. If this separation gets them back together, that would be amazing, but Keith had to call her out that he isn't happy.'
Parenting and Financial Arrangements
Sources indicate Nicole did not want the separation and had been trying to save the marriage, reportedly caring for their daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, while holding the family together.
The divorce documents outline a parenting plan giving Kidman 306 days per year with the children, leaving Urban 59 days annually, including shared arrangements for holidays and spring breaks.
Financially, both are well-positioned, earning more than $100,000 per month, with neither seeking child support.
Court filings reveal they do not own any assets together, either jointly or individually.
A Look Back at Their Relationship
Urban once told CBS Sunday Morning: 'Meeting her and getting married was just, wasn't life changing, it was life beginning. It was literally, like, 'OK, life starts.''
Nicole has shared moments of devotion, including when Urban abandoned a Nashville concert in 2014 to fly to California after her father’s death: 'I called him screaming and crying, and he was about to go on stage, and he walked off stage, and he got on a plane — he'd just gotten there — he flew six hours, and he was right back.'
Their relationship weathered challenges, including Urban’s early struggles with alcohol, which Kidman supported him through, and at Kidman’s AFI Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony in 2024, Urban said: 'If you want to see what love in action really looks like, give that a whirl. Nic pushed through every negative voice — I'm sure even some of her own — and she chose love.'
Rumours and Public Speculation
Rumours surrounding Urban’s involvement with another woman have complicated proceedings, with sources claiming 'all the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman,' though friends say Nicole feels 'very betrayed' and 'devastated.'
The couple celebrated their 19th anniversary in June, making the timing of the separation particularly shocking to fans who saw no public signs of trouble.
The end of Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s marriage highlights the pressures fame, demanding careers, and long periods apart can place on even the strongest relationships.
What This Means For You
Keith Urban revealed feeling 'completely lonely and miserable' while on tour, highlighting the emotional toll of a life spent away from home.
The couple had been living apart since early summer 2025, with Urban moving to a separate residence in Nashville, while Nicole Kidman will serve as the primary residential parent of their children, giving Urban 59 days per year with them.
Both stars remain financially secure and do not seek child support, and court documents show they have no shared assets.
For many of us, this serves as a reminder of how even long-term relationships can be tested by distance, demanding careers, and life changes, and it resonates with anyone who has faced challenges in balancing work, family, and personal happiness.
