Keith Urban, 57, recently surprised fans by changing the lyrics to ‘The Fighter,’ a song he once said was inspired by Nicole Kidman. Performing with rising country artist Maggie Baugh, 25, Urban swapped the original line “I’ll be the fighter” for “Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player.”

Baugh shared the clip on social media, adding shocked emojis and writing: “Did Keith Urban just say that[?]” The video was posted before news broke that Urban and Kidman, 58, had split after 19 years of marriage. Kidman filed for divorce on September 30.

Urban previously said he wrote the 2017 hit with Carrie Underwood while reflecting on his relationship with Kidman. “It was just a very quick, quick song to write, because I literally thought about Nic and I and our relationship in the beginning, and some of the things we had said all went into that song,” he said at the time.

The former couple, married since 2006, share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. In this gallery, we take a look at the celebs who called it quits in 2025 (so far). Click on to get to know them.
