Keith Urban is reportedly struggling with the emotional fallout of seeing his estranged wife Nicole Kidman and their daughters shine on the Met Gala red carpet. The Australian country music star, 58, is said to feel 'gut-wrenched' as he watches his family embrace their new chapter without him, eight months after the couple's separation.
Nicole, 58, attended the prestigious New York event in a striking red-sequinned dress with feathers, accompanied by her eldest daughter Sunday Rose, 17, who made her Met Gala debut in a purple two-piece. The Oscar-winning actress, who also served as a co-chair, shared a series of photos showcasing the mother-daughter bond, which sources say has deepened the rift for Keith.
According to insiders, Keith has 'shown class' throughout the divorce process, avoiding any negative remarks about Nicole. However, the reality of limited contact with his daughters has become increasingly painful. The couple's custody arrangement grants Nicole primary residential care, with Keith receiving just 59 days of access per year, a figure he agreed to in hopes of keeping the separation amicable.
This is not the first time Keith has felt sidelined. In December, Nicole posted birthday photos of their younger daughter Faith Margaret, 15, from a family trip to Australia, with Keith notably absent. Sunday’s recent interview describing Nicole as her 'biggest inspiration' further compounded his sense of exclusion.
Keith has previously spoken about the loneliness of life on tour, describing the emotional toll of being away from family. Those struggles have intensified since the divorce, as he navigates the aftermath of a split that has left him largely estranged from the family life he once cherished.
