Keith Urban is reportedly telling people he wants more children now that his divorce from Nicole Kidman is final. The renewed talk comes after months of scrutiny over the split, the custody deal and the country star’s family life.
RadarOnline reported the 58-year-old wants to have another child after the marriage ended in January. Urban and Kidman, who married in 2006, share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15. Under the divorce agreement, Kidman has primary custody of the girls for 306 days a year, while Urban has them for 59 days.
The timing matters because the marriage did not end quietly. Kidman filed for divorce last September after allegations surfaced that Urban had a wandering eye, and the filing set off a fresh round of attention around a family that had spent nearly two decades in the spotlight. For Urban, the question now is not whether he can move on; it is how he does it while the terms of that breakup still shape daily life with his children.
That is where the friction starts. Sources said Urban was hurt by comments Sunday Rose made in a recent interview praising Kidman as her greatest inspiration and leaving him out. One source put it bluntly: “It’s like he doesn’t exist.” Another said Urban is still trying to protect his relationship with Kidman and the girls. The same source added that he hopes that when things calm down, everyone will see his starting a second family as a positive thing.
The idea of Urban wanting another child also brings back an older cloud that never fully disappeared. In 2008, two Australian women claimed their sister had given birth to Urban’s daughter in 1994 and that the baby had been given up for adoption. The claim was never established, but it resurfaced in connection with his private life then, and it is back in circulation now because of the new talk about his family plans.
Urban and Kidman built their marriage over years of public milestones and private strain. They tied the knot in 2006, raised two daughters together and then worked through a divorce that left Kidman with the larger share of parenting time. What Urban does next will matter less as gossip than as a test of whether he can rebuild a family life after a breakup that is still defining how both parents are seen.
