Keith Urban is “doing great” following his divorce from Nicole Kidman.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman split last year
The 58-year-old country singer split from the Big Little Lies star last year after almost two decades of marriage and, three months after their divorce was finalised, Keith’s friend Russell Dickerson has revealed the Blue Ain’t Your Color hitmaker is in “good spirits”.
Noting he didn’t get to spend “tons of time” with Keith at the Country to Country festival in March, Russell told the New York Post newspaper’s PageSix column that his pal “seemed in good spirits” and has been focusing his attention on his music.
He added: “He’s always been focused on music, and so I think he’s just kind of doubling down on that, and it’s just beautiful. I can’t wait to hear what comes out of it.”
Russell’s update on Keith came a few weeks after Nicole revealed she is “all right” in the wake of their split and is focused on their daughters Sunday, 17, and 14-year-old Faith.
Asked if she is OK after splitting from Keith, she told Variety. I am, I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good. What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward.
“That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect.
“I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
The Scarpetta actress – who also has adult children Isabella and Connor with ex-husband Tom Cruise – recently admitted she knows she can overcome “devastating” and “painful” events in life because of her past experiences.
She told Harper’s Bazaar magazine: “The best part [of getting older] is the experiences that you’ve accumulated. So you go, ‘Oh, I’ve been here before. I actually know how to handle this now.’
“Or: ‘Maybe I haven’t been in this place, but I’ve experienced something similar to this, and I do know that I will get through it.’
“There’s something to knowing that no matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is, there is a way through.
“You’re going to have to feel it. You’re not going to be able to numb it. You are going to have to feel it, and it’s going to feel insurmountable at times. You’re going to feel like you’re broken, but if you move gently and slowly – and it can take an enormous amount of time – it does pass.”
