Keith Urban has returned to social media following his split from Nicole Kidman, breaking his silence after nearly two months. He shared a clip promoting his new US competition show, "The Road," hosted by Blake Shelton, which features aspiring country music artists.
In the show, Urban reflects humorously on his past hairstyles and discusses the demanding nature of life on tour. Urban candidly revealed in the first episode of "The Road" that he has experienced periods of feeling "completely lonely and miserable" while away from his family on tour.
He explained that this passion for music is his calling and the only answer he can give himself for enduring such hardships. The country superstar's return to social media and his reflections on loneliness come after Kidman filed for divorce on September 30th, ending their 19-year marriage.
Sources close to the couple have suggested that their busy schedules contributed to a "lack of intimacy" leading to the split. Other insiders have speculated that Urban was experiencing a "midlife crisis," acting out and making "confusing choices" due to feeling "hemmed-in" by his marriage.
One insider revealed that Urban blindsided Kidman with his decision to end the marriage, even though they had been working through marital difficulties. It was reported that Kidman was "blindsided" by the break-up, although she was the one who filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences."
