Is Keith Urban Upset With Simon Baker? Singer Reportedly 'Blindsided' by Nicole Kidman's PDA as Divorce Tension Mounts

Keith Urban is reported to have been left 'blindsided' in Sydney this month after photos emerged of Nicole Kidman and Simon Baker sharing hand-holding and close embraces on the red carpet, with the public display of affection said to have intensified already‑fraught divorce tensions between the three Australian stars.

Kidman, 58, and Urban, also 58, are in the midst of a widely scrutinised split after nearly two decades of marriage, while Baker, 56, finalised his own divorce from actress Rebecca Rigg in 2020. The latest flashpoint came as Kidman and Baker promoted a joint project, where their tactile behaviour set social media humming and, according to Globe Magazine, reignited old suspicions about just how close the pair really are. None of the three has publicly commented on the claims, so for now the speculation rests entirely on unnamed insiders and red-carpet images.
