The Tour and Future Performances
The High and Alive World Tour has taken Keith Urban across North America this year, with dates scheduled through mid-October. Looking ahead, the singer also has international shows planned in the Bahamas and the U.K. in March 2026.
Another highlight of the evening was his performance of 'The Fighter', a duet originally recorded with Carrie Underwood for his 2016 album 'Ripcord.' The track, inspired by the early days of his romance with Kidman, continues to be a fan favourite. Urban often adds playful ad-libs during live renditions, keeping the song fresh for audiences.
Inside Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman's Split
Nicole Kidman officially filed for divorce in Nashville on 30th September, citing irreconcilable differences. Court documents revealed that she listed the same day as their separation date. The couple, who married in June 2006 after meeting at a Los Angeles gala, had been together for nearly two decades.

The filing followed a summer apart, with Kidman filming 'Practical Magic 2' in London while Keith Urban was travelling for his tour. Sources close to the pair have said that Kidman had been determined to salvage the marriage, while those close to Urban suggested he had been struggling with personal challenges in recent months.
Reports indicate that their relationship began to shift after Urban quietly purchased a separate home, which many in their inner circle saw as a sign of growing distance. According to insiders, the couple had been living apart for some time before the official filing, making the split appear inevitable to those around them.
A Marriage That Captured Hollywood and Nashville
Urban and Kidman were often seen as one of Hollywood and country music's strongest couples. Their public appearances—from red carpets to charity events—frequently drew admiration from fans who viewed them as a glamorous yet grounded pair.
With Keith Urban now continuing his world tour and Kidman focusing on her film career, both appear to be moving forward separately while still connected through their daughters.
