Ever since Nicole Kidman filed for divorce from Keith Urban, social media has been going crazy with some of the rumors surrounding their personal lives. One of the rumors that recently appeared on TikTok and got widely shared on other platforms was an affair between Kidman and rising actor Daniel Elston.
One of the videos shared on Instagram by a user named @_talksberry claimed that Kidman and Elston, who is 15 years younger than her, are allegedly dating. The actor appeared in the 2023 Shailene Woodley film, To Catch a Killer. The video went on to claim that Kidman’s ex Urban was “shocked to tears” when he heard the news.
The narrator then began explaining why Elston allegedly won Kidman’s heart, sharing three reasons for it. The video shared that Elston understood the actress’s busy work schedule, he was financially solid, and he knew family and life details.
Interestingly, none of this information was shared by any known media outlet. It appears that the affair was something created in the imagination of some social media users, and the details were probably AI-generated.
This affair comes amid a report that Kidman and Urban had a “mutually consented arrangement” for their marriage. An insider shared this unconfirmed information to DeuxMoi’s Deux U podcast, sharing that they had been living separate lives for years and were involved with others during this time.
Keith Urban’s Alleged Relationship With Guitarist Amid Nicole Kidman Split
According to the Daily Mail, insiders claimed that Urban was in a relationship with “a younger woman in the music industry.” Later, some sources suggested that the “other woman” was his 25-year-old guitarist, Maggie Baugh. In April, the singer was seen singing the line “I was born to love you”
Last week, during another performance, he switched Kidman’s name in a song that he wrote for her and made it into an ode for Baugh. Urban met Baugh when she was invited to perform with him at the CMT Music Awards in April 2024. Shortly after, the country music talent was offered a position in Urban’s band.
Sources close to Kidman shared that it almost seemed like Urban was trying to publicly embarrass his ex-wife. The source shared, “Keith looks as if he’s out to try to publicly embarrass and hurt Nic. He’s always been the quieter one but now that seems to have changed.” The source also added:
The fact that he changed the lyrics in the song he wrote about Nic and made it a dedication to his young guitarist Maggie Baugh says so much about how he’s dealing with their separation and how he feels about Nic. This is a total 180 from the Keith I know. It seems like a switch has gone off in his head to awaken this vitriol he appears to have for her.
Recently, Baugh’s father was asked to comment on the relationship during an interview with the Daily Mail. While he shared that he didn’t know anything about it, he didn’t deny the romance allegations either.
He shared, “I don’t know anything about it, other than she’s a guitar player for him.” However, he believed that it was “more of a musician thing than a dating thing.”
According to RadarOnline, Urban was seeing a different woman as well. Sources shared that he had spent time with another woman in Nashville over the summer after he moved out of his shared home with Kidman.
Nicole Kidman’s Previous Relationships Before Keith Urban
Before getting married to Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman had several high-profile boyfriends, including a decade-long relationship with Tom Cruise. Their love story blossomed on the sets of Days of Thunder, and the couple swiftly got married in 1990.
However, the high-profile relationship didn’t last forever, as it fell apart after eleven years of marriage. Cruise filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Cruise walked away from this marriage, leaving Kidman in shock as she was “very dependent” on him (via The Mirror). Kidman later shared:
I thought our life together was perfect. It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system. We were in a bubble, just the two of us. We became very dependent on one another. I was reeling with Tom. I would have gone to the ends of the earth for him…. I was totally smitten – I fell madly, passionately in love.
It was reported that Cruise left because Kidman refused to join the Church of Scientology. However, Kidman never commented on this report. They adopted two children, daughter Isabella in 1992 and son Connor in 1995.
The Hours actress started dating Lenny Kravitz in 2003. In 2007, she told Vanity Fair that she was once secretly engaged to someone. She shared, “It just wasn’t right. I wasn’t ready. We weren’t ready.” She didn’t reveal Kravitz’s name until 2018. She casually mentioned the engagement while talking about her Big Little Lies co-star, Zoë Kravitz, with NET-A-PORTER’s The EDIT (via TODAY):
Well, I knew Zoë because I was engaged to her father. It’s all in the family! I love Lenny; he’s a great guy.
Kidman also dated actors Tom Burlinson and Marcus Graham before her marriage to Cruise. She also had a brief fling with A Tribe Called Quest rapper Q-Tip.
