Keith Urban’s Alleged Infidelity Resurfaces amid Reported Split from Nicole Kidman After 19 Years
Before the Hollywood couple got married in the early 2000s, they had already started to develop a romantic relationship that would last for 19 years when the infidelity claims first surfaced.
Accusations of adultery that dated back to 2006, uttered shortly before Hollywood’s golden pair exchanged vows, were the kind of secret that could ruin a romantic fairy tale. A tempest that would stalk them almost twenty years later was simmering beneath the sparkling grins and red carpet beauty.
Once, a lady claimed to have had a sexy affair with country music artist Keith Urban while he was falling for Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, who would later become his wife. What was once regarded as one of Hollywood’s strongest marriages was forever marred by the bombshell claims when they first came to light.
The Explosive Allegations of a Young Model
In 2006, Amanda Wyatt, a 23-year-old part-time model who was 16 years Urban’s junior, made news when she revealed that she and Urban had a long-term affair that supposedly lasted until just before his wedding to Kidman.
Simply put, “I feel sorry for Nicole,” she said. “Keith routinely cheated on her with me until shortly before their marriage. He has already done it once, and it is likely that he will do it once more.
According to Wyatt, he was a man who was troubled and compassionate in equal measure, and whose appeal was frequently obscured by his demons. She claimed that although Keith had all the makings of a celebrity, he also carried what she said he called a “huge gaping hole” inside of him. “Keith is a guy who has everything, but he is never truly happy,” she added.
In addition to nights of lavish love gestures, intense care and affection, and emotional and unprotected sexual intimacy, she also remembered nights marred by drug and alcohol abuse.
Wyatt revealed, “We partied constantly,” adding that although she didn’t press him for a commitment, their relationship was everything but short-lived. She asserted, “Everyone in Nashville knew we were together,”
Wyatt claims that their relationship started in 2004 following a fortuitous meeting at a neighbourhood pub and swiftly developed into something more complex and emotional.
The Night That Made All the Difference
“I wanted to meet Keith since I was a fan of his. I grew up in Nashville, where he was well-known long before Nicole introduced him to the rest of the world. Wyatt disclosed, “One night, I went to a pub called the Tin Roof, and he was there [sic].”
“After a few drinks, on a dare, I went straight up to him and said: ‘Hi Keith, I’m Amanda, and I’m a big fan,'” she added. There were other girlfriends present. He merely smiled. ‘You’re Amanda, right?’ he asked to me a few hours later [sic], and I was incredibly flattered.
She even moved into the house Urban was renting at one point, and while on vacation, she met his parents. “It was more than just physical chemistry,” she remarked. “He was eager to win my approval while we made love. “He was stroking my leg [sic] when I woke up the following morning,” Wyatt revealed.
“He Used to Tell Me How Much He Missed Me Making Him Laugh”: Amanda Wyatt Makes More Startling Allegations
“Looking back, maybe he came to Nashville and partied with me because he could do things with me he couldn’t do with Nicole,” Wyatt thought.
“He never stopped complimenting me on my beauty […] At one point in her observations, she recalled, “He used to tell me how much he missed me making [sic] him laugh.” Wyatt even revealed that Urban used to tell her that he liked her and enjoyed the feeling of youth she gave him.
Wyatt claimed that despite the emotional intimacy she spoke of, she was never deluded about her role in his life. “I thought he was great. “I knew how easy it is for musicians to get girls, but I still loved him,” Wyatt said.
She acknowledged, however, that she was taken by surprise when she learnt about Urban’s romance with Kidman through a newspaper. “You must realise that I was a nobody and Keith [sic] was a star. However, she clarified that Nicole was a true superstar even by his standards.
Wyatt then recalled how, after seeing a picture of the two, she had questioned Urban about his relationship with Kidman, but the singer had declined to talk about it.
She said that during his courtship and engagement to Kidman, the affair persisted, with meetings occurring as frequently as two or three times a week while Urban was in Nashville. Wyatt even knew Urban’s house’s security code. Regarding his battles with substance misuse, Wyatt claimed that his behaviours were well-known among their group.
“He drank constantly,” she said. “And he did drugs.” She also maintained that his addictions were well known. “I’m sure she didn’t know about his drug use but [sic] it was so obvious when he was with me,” Wyatt added regarding Kidman. “Maybe he kept it hidden from her.”
When Wyatt thought back on her choice to come forward, she rejected labels that portrayed her as a home wrecker or villain in the story. “I’m sorry if I hurt Nicole,” she said. “But I just want to tell the truth and move on.” She ultimately remained steadfast in her sombre assessment of the guy she had once loved, saying, “She deserves better.”
Rehab Rocks a Marriage
A representative for Urban denied the statements as a total fabrication when Wyatt made them public. However, a few months later, it was impossible to overlook the singer’s difficulties. Four months into his marriage to Kidman, in October 2006, Urban willingly checked himself into an alcohol misuse treatment facility.
The Grammy-winning country music artist apologised for the suffering his relapse had caused his wife and family in a statement made public at the time. “One can never let one’s guard down on recovery, and I’m afraid that I have,” he stated.
Although Urban had previously discussed his struggles with drugs, representatives acknowledged that this relapse was related to alcohol. Kidman stood at his side while the world looked on, her devotion celebrated as evidence of their fanciful romance.
A Falling Fairy Tale After Nineteen Years
The pair is currently at a tipping point, nearly twenty years after overcoming those early difficulties. Urban and Kidman have split up; according to TMZ, they have been living separately since the start of the summer.
Kidman has been taking care of their two children, who are now 14 and 17, while “holding the family together through this difficult time since Keith has been gone,” according to family sources. According to reports, Urban moved out of the family’s joint Nashville home and bought his own house there.
Furthermore, according to insiders, Nicole Kidman has been actively attempting to keep the marriage intact, and the split was not mutual. The question of whether a divorce is imminent has not yet been decided.
The trip they took together, a love story that developed over 19 years of marriage and was full of turning points, resiliency, and moments that once made them one of Hollywood’s most lasting couples, is highlighted by their separation, even though it also marks a challenging chapter in their relationship.
A Charming Start and an Uneasy Country Star
Urban was enthralled from the beginning. The country crooner recalled meeting Kidman at the 2005 G’Day LA event, saying she had a “otherworldly aura,” likening it to breaking into a royal ball.
However, many fairy stories begin with nerves: Urban was too scared to contact and kept her number for days. The connection was immediate when he did.
He recalled, “We just talked and talked like we’d known each other our whole lives,” addressing Kidman directly during the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony.
Only a few months after their 2006 wedding, Urban’s long-ignored drug issues almost destroyed their new life together, putting that level of intimacy to the test. He admitted, “Four months into a marriage, I’m in rehab for three months,” describing how Kidman supported him while he was in the Betty Ford Facility.
‘She Chose Love’: Nicole Kidman’s Devotion in the Face of Chaos “If you want to see what love looks like in action, watch that.” Here we are now, eighteen years later,” he said to the audience, “because Nic chose love despite all the criticism, including maybe some of her own.
Urban acknowledged that Kidman taught him and their girls the importance of emotional integrity and fortitude.
He described Kidman as resilient and someone who lives by the simple yet potent motto, “choose love.” “She has a capacity to love like no one I’ve ever met,” he said.
“But next year will be 20 years that I have been madly in love with you,” he added softly as a conclusion. Congratulations, sweetheart. I cherish you.
A Love Captured in Music
Kidman stated in a 2024 interview with People that “Once in a Lifetime,” a song Urban released five months after their wedding, is her favourite song. “Keith wrote that for me when we were first getting married,” she said.
With its expansive lyrics about devotion and the infrequency of true love, the song came to symbolise the life they were starting to create, one that would soon expand with the birth of their daughters, the youngest of whom was born in 2010 and the oldest in 2008.
‘We’ve Never Texted’: A Relationship from a Different Time
Even in the era of smartphones and 24/7 contact, the couple’s communication style reflected their emotional intimacy. Kidman disclosed in a 2018 Parade interview that, in their more than ten years of marriage, she and Urban had never texted one another.
“Yes. We make a call. And that’s 12 years of marriage,” she said, adding that at the time, their twelfth wedding anniversary was quickly approaching. “Never have we texted. It’s funny because our relationship is so different from that. Kidman went on.
Her remarks provided a unique, personal glimpse into their shared values, emphasising emotional truth, presence, and clarity in a way that distinguished their relationship from so many others that are moulded by convenience. She stated, “I don’t want that between my lover and I [sic],” with a firm yet compassionate conviction.
When asked further about the key to their lasting relationship, Kidman offered genuineness rather than a lofty ideology. “Not having secrets,” was all she disclosed.
