Keith Urban is said to be in “good spirits” following his split from Nicole Kidman, with fellow Brit Russell Dickerson giving a rare insight into how he is coping.
Speaking at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Russell revealed he recently met Keith at the Country to Country music festival and said the singer seems to be channeling his energy into his craft following his ‘painful’ divorce.
Although he wasn’t able to spend “much time” with him, Russell said Keith “seemed to be in good spirits” despite the end of his nearly two-decade marriage.
“He’s always been focused on music, and so I think he’s tapping into that a little bit, and it’s just beautiful,” he said. Page six. “I can’t wait to hear what comes out.”
Keith and Nicole separated in September 2025 and their divorce was finalized in January 2026. The former couple share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15.
In the months since their split, Keith has largely kept a low profile and focused on his music and live performances, while Nicole has stayed busy with her acting projects.
The actress is currently starring in the thriller series Scarpettawhere she appears opposite Simon Baker, who has also recently been linked to her off-screen.
The rumors started when the two were spotted together at their premiere in New York City, where they were reportedly seen holding hands. Nicole Kidman addressed the on-screen dynamic, saying their chemistry “just vibrates,” while Simon added with a smile, “I don’t kiss and tell.”
For Keith Urban, it seems music remains his source of inspiration and strength, something Russell hinted could lead to new creative output in the coming months.
