Keith Urban's Girlfriend & Dating History Explained

Keith Urban has only had one wife, actress Nicole Kidman. They married in 2006 and had two kids together.

Before that now-over marriage, though, Urban "enjoyed a long string of female companions, including the supermodel Niki Taylor, and his long-term love, Laura Sigler," according to BBC.

Kidman filed for divorce in September 2025, and that new development has Urban's dating history under greater scrutiny. Kidman has a more colorful dating history than Urban; she was married to Tom Cruise, and dated Lenny Kravitz, actor Marcus Graham, and actor/singer Tom Burlinson, according to US Weekly.

“People close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable,” a source told Peopleof Kidman and Urban. There has been no confirmation beyond anonymous sources about the reason for the divorce.

Keith Urban Said an Ex-Girlfriend Inspired the Song, 'Somebody Like You'

Urban opened up about a relationship on a podcast, Q With Tom Power, in early 2025. Urban revealed that an ex-girlfriend was the inspiration for his song "Somebody Like You."

"I was in a bad way personally, struggling a lot, and I was in a relationship that was not..." he said. "I wasn't in a good way, and I thought at the time, 'My girlfriend seems to really love me. I wish I could love myself the way she seems to.'"

"So the song was actually, 'I want to love somebody like you do, I want to love me like you do.'"

He told the podcaster: "She hears it as a love song, and it finished, and she just looks at me, she goes, 'You're a [expletive] hypocrite,' and then walked out of the room. She's like, 'You don't want to love anyone, you're just an [expletive].' And she wasn't wrong. It wasn't the guy I was, it was the guy I wished I could be."

It's not clear which girlfriend he was referring to in those comments, however.
