Keith Urban Has a Hilarious Reaction to Fan Telling Him Her Name Is ‘Nicole’ Amid His Divorce

Keith Urban dodged a potentially awkward situation on tour when a fan inadvertently alluded to his split from Nicole Kidman.

In a video filmed at the musician’s High and Alive tour at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday, October 17 and posted via TikTok the same evening, Urban is featured having an interaction with a fan.

“I’m not going to like your name?” a confused-sounding Urban, 57, asked the fan in the TikTok clip.

In response, the fan explained, “It’s Nicole” as the surrounding audience members could be heard gasping and laughing.

Urban took the comment in good humor, briefly bowing his head and then collapsing backwards on stage in an exaggerated manner. After lying down on stage momentarily and waving his arm, Urban sat back up.

He then deflected the implied reference to his estranged wife Kidman, by jokingly asking the fan, “Did you say Nicole Richie?”

“How are you Nicole Richie?” Urban continued, “It’s A Simple Life. Is that the name of the show? What’s Nicole Richie in? The Simple Life.”

Putting the jokes behind him, Urban then went on to help the fan tell her family that she was pregnant by showing a onesie on the big screen in a sweet moment. The baby outfit had the words “Smallest Keith Urban fan” written across the front.

On September 30, Kidman, 58, filed for divorce from Urban after 19 years of marriage.

According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, the Big Little Lies actress cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split and listed their date of separation as the same date of the divorce filing.

Kidman requested to be named the “primary residential parent” of her and Urban’s minor children, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14.

“This wasn’t Nicole’s decision, and she is devastated,” an insider told Us at the time. “Her trust was lost, and it was too far gone. Nicole had been trying to get them to work on their marriage and did not want this to get out to the public. She didn’t tell many friends what was really going on with them and was holding this in for months.”

News of their split came months after Kidman attended the Met Gala solo in May. Kidman and Urban were last spotted out in public at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 game in Nashville on June 20. The Music City outing came just five days before their 19th wedding anniversary.

The former couple met in 2005 at the G’Day USA gala event in Los Angeles. Just one year later, they tied the knot in the Sydney suburb of Manly.

“I swear to you, she glided across the room, like floated. I don’t know how she did it,” Urban said of first crossing paths with Kidman when he reflected on their meeting during a November 2010 interview. “It was out of this world and there was a split moment where she wasn’t with anybody, there was nobody around, and I thought, ‘I’ll just go up and say hi.’”
