Country superstar Keith Urban is back in the headlines after wife Nicole Kidman filed for divorce on September 30, 2025, in Nashville, ending their nearly two-decade-long marriage. While the split has shocked fans worldwide, it has also sparked renewed curiosity about Urban’s dating history and past relationships.
Nicole Kidman: His Only Marriage
Urban met Nicole Kidman at the G’Day USA gala in 2005, and the two married in Sydney the following year. Together, they share two daughters—Sunday Rose (2008) and Faith Margaret (2010).
Their union endured Urban’s public battle with addiction—he entered rehab just months after their wedding—and often appeared as one of Hollywood’s most stable marriages. However, reports suggest the couple had been living apart since June 2025, leading to Kidman’s divorce filing citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Before Kidman: Keith Urban’s Dating History
Although Urban has had only one marriage, he was romantically linked to a few women before Kidman, with two relationships standing out.
Niki Taylor – The Supermodel Romance
In the early 2000s, Urban dated American supermodel Niki Taylor for about two years. Their relationship was serious—Taylor even starred in Urban’s 2002 music video “Somebody Like You.”
The couple lived together, got matching tattoos, and seemed deeply involved. However, conflicting schedules ultimately drove them apart. Taylor later told People, “His career got really busy, I got really busy, and we never saw each other. We’re still friends, and I’m so happy for him and Nicole.”
Laura Sigler – The Long-Term Love
Even before Taylor, Urban was in a long-term relationship with Laura Sigler, a veterinary assistant from Nashville. The two reportedly dated for eight years and were even engaged before breaking up in 2002.
In an interview, Sigler claimed she once warned Kidman that her marriage to Urban might not last. She described Urban as “seductive” but doubted whether he was truly ready to settle down. Despite the bitterness of their split, her role in Urban’s life remains significant—many outlets describe her as one of his most serious relationships prior to Kidman.
Music Inspired by Love & Struggles
Urban has admitted that one of his most famous songs, “Somebody Like You,” was inspired by an ex-girlfriend during a time when he was struggling personally. On the podcast Q With Tom Power earlier this year, he recalled:
“I wasn’t in a good way, and I thought, ‘My girlfriend seems to really love me. I wish I could love myself the way she seems to.’ That’s what the song was really about.”
Although he didn’t confirm which girlfriend inspired the track, the admission highlights how his relationships often shaped his music.
The Nicole Kidman Years: “Life-Beginning”
Urban has often said that meeting Kidman was transformative. In a CBS News interview, he revealed, “Meeting her and getting married wasn’t life-changing, it was life-beginning.”
Kidman, too, often praised his artistry, calling his musicianship “extraordinary.” For nearly two decades, they embodied one of Hollywood’s most admired love stories—until the recent breakup.
Any Current Girlfriend?
While rumors swirl that Urban may already be seeing another woman, no confirmation has surfaced. Some tabloids have linked him to an unnamed partner, but there has been no photographic evidence or public acknowledgment.
For now, Urban remains publicly single as he navigates the aftermath of his high-profile separation.
Conclusion
Unlike Nicole Kidman, who has had a high-profile dating history with Tom Cruise and Lenny Kravitz, Keith Urban’s romantic past is relatively short—centered on long-term relationships with Laura Sigler, Niki Taylor, and ultimately his 19-year marriage to Kidman.
As the divorce proceedings unfold, fans and tabloids will continue to watch whether Urban steps into a new romance—or takes time for himself after nearly two decades as one half of Hollywood’s most admired couples.
