Keith Urban Opens Up on Tour Life

Keith Urban described the realities of being on the road during the premiere of his new series, The Road on CBS. He said touring can be “completely lonely and miserable”.

He recalled waking up at 3:30 a.m. on a tour bus and being “sick as a dog”, in the middle of nowhere, with a fifth show that night and no sleep. 
His conclusion: “Because this is what I’m born to do.”

Divorce After 19 Years of Marriage

Urban and Nicole Kidman separated after 19 years of marriage. Kidman filed for divorce on September 30 2025, citing irreconcilable differences.

They share two daughters: Sunday Rose Kidman Urban (17) and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban (14).

Links Between Tour Life and Relationship

While Urban did not explicitly connect his tour-life comments to the divorce, observers note the timing and tone of his remarks. 
Sources say his marriage had been under strain for some time and that the separation was not entirely sudden.

What the Show Reveals

“The Road” follows emerging musical artists competing to open for Urban on tour. 
In its first episode, Urban’s candid discussion of the road’s toll offered a rare window into his life beyond the spotlight.

Looking Ahead

Urban remains an established star, launching this new TV venture while navigating major personal change. Meanwhile, Kidman has spoken publicly about the need to feel and process emotional loss following their split.
