Keith Urban ‘Treated’ Nicole Kidman ‘Like Dirt’ During a ‘Vulnerable’ Time, ‘Behaved Like a Total Jerk’

Keith Urban brutally betrayed wife Nicole Kidman by shamelessly flirting with country cuties around Nashville for years, sources tell the National Enquirer.

Since the crooner and the actress split, it’s been alleged that Keith has been getting close to his bandmate, guitarist Maggie Baugh, as well as other country hotties.

“There’s no sugarcoating the fact that Keith’s behaved like a total jerk. He’s treated Nicole like dirt at a time when she was most vulnerable,” says an insider.

Sources say after Nicole lost her mom last year, she desperately needed love and support from her husband. Instead, Keith had checked out of the marriage and took things to a whole new low by flirting with other women.

While it has been reported Nicole was blindsided by the split, other sources say Keith felt there was a “lack of intimacy” between them because they spent so much time apart, leaving him time to seek comfort in the company of other women. It wasn’t just Maggie. Keith was also fawning over other women, and he didn’t seem to care that people knew about it.

Sources say Nicole was convinced that lyrics from Keith’s songs — such as “Love Is Hard”, which states, “It hurts when we fight … Callin’ names and slammin’ doors — and keeping secrets” — were his way of callously calling out their private texts.

Then, sources say, Nicole was shattered when she viewed video of Keith changing the lyrics of “The Fighter” — a tune inspired by his romance with her — in a recent performance to instead include Maggie’s name. “It goes without saying that Nicole is devastated and humiliated,” a source says.

Another insider adds, “It seemed incomprehensible to her that the love of her life would be capable of such cruelty.”

As the Enquirer reported, Keith recently moved out of the Nashville mansion that he shared with Nicole and their two daughters. But, according to insiders, the marriage imploded years ago when Keith got fed up with Nicole’s steamy onscreen clinches with younger actors, while her pals accused him of being insecure.

An insider adds: “Nicole’s ego has taken a massive blow. The news about Maggie sent her over the edge and she’s now braced for more revelations about Keith’s sleazy behavior, even as she was trying to save the marriage.”

Despite the alleged romantic connection with Maggie, 25, social media searches suggest she has a boyfriend. She also said in a 2017 interview on Piper’s Picks TV that she had a “rule” against dating her bandmates.

Meanwhile, another source says Keith’s not happy at the way he’s been portrayed. He says there are two sides to this story but he’s not going to air Nicole’s dirty laundry.
