Keith Urban Reportedly Unsupportive of Nicole Kidman’s Career as 'Lioness' Gets Season 3 Renewal
The spotlight has been shining brightly on Nicole Kidman as her career has taken a major peak in recent years. Headlines are now focused on the recent news of Kidman and Keith Urban's split after nearly 20 years of marriage. While things are heating up into what caused the reported divorce, an inside source claims Urban wasn't as supportive of her career as Kidman's Lioness gets renewed for a third season.
'Lioness' Gets New Season Renewal
Paramount+ announced Taylor Sheridan's espionage thriller, Lioness, returns with a Season 3 renewal. The long-awaited renewal comes after Season 2's grand finale 10 months ago, with reports on its delay stemming from contracts between Zoe Saldaña and Kidman.
Saldaña was already contracted for three seasons of the series, while Kidman had to create a new contract going into the new season, according to Deadline. For now, details on the plot for the new season are being kept under wraps.
Back in August, it was revealed that a new production campus in Fort Worth, Texas, was under development with Sheridan's project, like Lioness, slated to start filming in October.
Lioness Season 2 saw both Kidman and Saldaña's characters fighting against an encroaching threat and enlisting the help of a new lioness. With pressure mounting on all sides, Joe (Saldaña) is forced to look back at the sacrifices she's made and her role as the leader of the Lioness program.
Inside Source Claims Keith Urban Wasn't Supportive of Kidman's Career
As details behind the split between Urban and Kidman are being revealed, an inside source told PEOPLE that one of their issues was their careers. While Urban has his own accolades in the music industry, Kidman has risen to become one of Hollywood's leading actors with hits like Big Little Lies, Babygirl, Aquaman, and returning with Sandra Bullock in Practical Magic 2.
According to the inside source, when the couple wed in 2006 and their kids were still young, their relationship was all about them. When Kidman returned to acting, she "truly thrived working again. She's been feeling amazing and very happy about having a career again."
They further claim that their now teenage daughters are incredibly supportive of their mother's career, but it has "been the opposite" with Urban.
"Keith was used to her being supportive of his career. He's not been as supportive as she hoped," they said.
Kidman announced their divorce on Tuesday, September 30, and claimed it was due to irreconcilable differences. Urban is currently on his High and Alive World Tour, and was recently reported to have changed the lyrics to his song "The Fighter" during a recent performance.
