The Hudson Valley Played a Pivotal Role in Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s Love Story

Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman Divorce After 19 Years

News shocked the entertainment world earlier this week when Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban announced that they would be separating after 19-years of marriage.

Details started to come out that Keith had been the one to call off the marriage and that Nicole tried everything in her power to keep her family together.

As days went on, the separation became a full blown divorce.

Things got juicy, when rumors started to swirl that Keith had already moved out of their shared home in Nashville and may have already been seeing someone new.

Videos are circulating of Keith changing the lyrics in the song The Fighter which name drops Nicole. Instead of singing Nicole's name, Urban has been singing about Maggie, who happens to be his guitar player.

Before their relationship came to a screeching halt, Kidman and Urban were always caught gushing about their love story.

Woodstock, NY Plays Pivotal Role in Urban, Kidman Romance

In 2020, Kidman sat down with The Wall Street Journal and detailed how their romance began back in 2005.

According to Kidman, Urban pulled out all the stops to impress her that included his motorcycle and a trip Upstate.

Kidman told the WSJ she fell for Urban after "he took her on a motorcycle ride to Woodstock, NY." The actress went on to say he packed a picnic and everything. The whole 9-yards.

After that Kidman says "I was a goner — I mean, c’mon."
