Australian radio presenter Kyle Sandilands revealed on Wednesday that Keith Urban hinted at his impending divorce from Nicole Kidman in an urgent text message sent shortly before the couple announced their shock split. Speaking on his broadcast on 19 August 2026, the broadcaster admitted that he completely overlooked the subtle warning sign from the country singer, who reached out just ahead of public confirmation that the two stars were ending their marriage.

For context, the award-winning musician and the Oscar-winning actress stunned fans across the world when they confirmed the breakdown of their 20-year marriage in September 2025. The pair had long stood as one of the most enduring couples in global entertainment, making the sudden announcement an unexpected blow to followers who had seen little public indication of friction.
