Singer was ‘really hurt’ that his daughter didn’t acknowledge him in a recent interview
While Keith Urban was on tour, his daughters stayed with Nicole Kidman, who has primary custody under their divorce agreement.
In recent weeks, the actress has appeared with them at events, highlighting the close bond they share.
This became even more evident when Sunday Rose called Kidman her “biggest inspiration” and credited her as “a key part of everything she does” in a recent interview with an Australian-based media outlet.
Although Urban is a creative himself, there was little to no mention of him in the 17-year-old’s remarks, which insiders say deeply stung the singer.
“Seeing it in black and white like this really hurts,” a source said, adding that Urban “feels erased.”
As for his relationship with his daughters, Urban is said to be uncomfortable with the current status quo but feels helpless because he “doesn’t know how to fix it.”
Sources say Nicole Kidman hasn’t turned her children against their father
Previous speculation suggested that Kidman had turned the children against their father, but sources have refuted that, pointing out that the couple’s daughters are old enough to form their own understanding of the situation.
“Nicole did not turn the children against him; they made their own choices regarding their father,” noted a close source, according to the Daily Mail. “She’s not like that. Keith hasn’t tried very hard to make things better in their eyes. The girls have always been very close to their mother. They are everything to her.”
As for why the children seem angry with their father, it is believed to be linked to the allegations that he played a role in inspiring the divorce.
“The girls are definitely Team Nicole – they’re in her corner, they’re hurt and angry because of her,” the source claimed. “There’s some resentment against Keith. If they blame anyone, it’s him, not her.”
Keith Urban felt ‘betrayed’ by Nicole Kidman’s closeness to his male co-star
Since their split, neither Kidman nor Urban have publicly started a new relationship.
However, the actress’ seemingly close relationship with her Scarpetta co-star Simon Baker left Urban feeling “betrayed,” according to Woman’s Day.
A source added that the singer hopes the duo “just make headlines” given their recent collaboration.
“Even then, he feels like it’s a betrayal because Nicole and Simon know how much the mere hint of a romance between them will hurt him.”
Singer’s ‘worst nightmare’ came true
The source also noted that Urban has long been aware of Kidman and Baker’s growing bond since filming.
The closeness, which appears to have deepened since Kidman’s split from Urban, has reportedly left the singer quite unhappy.
“He already suspected they were getting close during filming. It’s his worst nightmare come true,” the source noted.
They added: “He hates it when they give interviews about how close they are. »
