1 october 2025 в 18:37
Keith Urban was one of the biggest stars in country music for decades, known for his hits, incredible guitar playing skills, and nearly 20-year marriage to Nicole Kidman. They first met in 2005 at the G’Day USA gala in Hollywood and quickly fell in love, getting married in June 2006 in Sydney, Australia. Over the years, they welcomed two daughters together and were often praised as one of Hollywood’s longest-lasting couples. Kidman herself has expressed how deeply she loves Urban. In an interview with Vanity Fair in 2013, reflecting on her breakup with first husband Tom Cruise, she said, «You know, without any disrespect to what I had with Tom, I’ve met my great love now».
But in September 2025, Kidman shocked fans when she officially filed for divorce, seemingly putting an end to their love story after 19 years of marriage.
Over the years, the singer has been linked to several notable women in both the music and entertainment worlds. Take a look at Urban’s ex-girlfriends and his dating history below.
Before his rise to worldwide fame, Urban was in a long-term relationship with Laura Sigler, a veterinary technician from Nashville, Tennessee. They dated for about ten years, from 1992 to 2002, and there were even rumors of their engagement.
Over time, his growing music career and personal struggles, including substance abuse, reportedly took a toll on their relationship. According to Today, Sigler told The Sun in 2005, «There were a lot of low points with drugs. I don’t have a dark past — he was probably the darkest part, but now I am myself and I am happy about it».
She also expressed doubts about his ability to settle down at the time, adding, «Nicole and Keith may date for a while — but it won’t last long. I don’t know her, but I know him very well».
Years later, Urban opened up about his battle with addiction, crediting Kidman for helping him in his recovery. In an interview with The Times in 2022, he shared, «My father was an alcoholic, so I grew up in an alcoholic home, and for a long time, I believed I was the same. Someone said… 'What happens when you drink?' And I said, 'I end up in handcuffs.'»
Urban dated supermodel Niki Taylor from around 2002 to 2004. Their relationship was more public than some of his previous romances, as they appeared together and even collaborated professionally. (Taylor appeared in his music video «Somebody Like You»). The couple also reportedly lived together for some time and even got matching tattoos with the inscription amor vincit omnia — Latin for «love conquers all».
Although their relationship was serious, their busy schedules ultimately took a toll on them. «His career got very busy, I got very busy, and we never saw each other», - Taylor told People after their breakup, adding, «We're still friends, and I’m so happy for him and Nicole»
