Keith Urban’s Awkward Tattoos of Nicole Kidman’s Sexiest Role

Nicole Kidman’s mark was literally left all over husband Keith Urban’s body as Daily Mail has confirmed their split after 19 years of marriage.

The 57-year-old musician had several tattoos dedicated to the Oscar winner, 58, including one that was a nod to one of her sultriest roles as a ‘rumor’ has been going around Nashville about their relationship.

Keith’s freshest ink was a reference to her critically-acclaimed role in 2024’s Babygirl as he had the name tattooed on the back of his neck.

The racy film centered around Nicole’s character Romy who is a high-powered CEO who puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern portrayed by Harris Dickinson, now 29, who is nearly three decades her junior.

Nicole had previously opened up about Keith’s ode to her sexy role as she told W Magazine in November 2024: ‘He actually has “babygirl” tattooed on the back of his neck.

‘Keith’s not allowed to call anyone else babygirl. But now, because of the film, it’s taken on a different meaning. So he’s like, “No, I still have total rights over babygirl!”‘

Nicole concluded: ‘I don’t know if [writer-director] Halina [Reijn] knows that, but it’s all part of this sprinkling of fairy dust that happens.’

His most bold tattoo is on his right bicep as he has a massive tattoo which says ‘Nicole’ and is surrounded by a heart and Celtic elements.

As if that already isn’t enough, the country music star also has ‘Mary’ tattooed on his right fingers which also seems to be a reference to his longtime lover as Mary is her middle name.

Lastly, he also reportedly has the actress’ initials ‘NMK’ also inked on his body.

That particular tattoo was a cover-up, however, as he originally had a matching tattoo with supermodel ex Niki Taylor in the early 2000s as they both had the words ‘amor vincit omnia’ inked which is a Latin phrase which translates to ‘love conquers all.’

Meanwhile, regarding their split it has been said the former power couple had  been kept apart of late amid their hectic filming and touring schedules – with an insider previously telling the Daily Mail Kidman was left ‘blindsided’ by the split.

Kidman filed to end the marriage on Tuesday – citing irreconcilable differences.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban for comment and has yet to hear back. 

The former couple share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. 

Kidman was previously married to Tom Cruise, 63, for 11 years from 1990 to 2001. They adopted two children together: Isabella, 32, and Connor, 30. 

At this time, Urban who is renting his own home in Music City, is allegedly showing no signs of wanting to reconcile.

Those in Kidman’s circle say that merely the suggestion of him with someone else after their separation has been difficult for her to process.

The Australian actress and Urban were last seen together publicly in June this year, when they were pictured attending a FIFA World Cup match in Nashville, Tennessee.

The country star has been away for much of the year on his High and Alive World Tour. He is due to perform in Hershey, Pennsylvania on Thursday.

Kidman and the children, meanwhile, have remained in Nashville, where the couple own a $4million compound.

In July, Urban dropped a hint that all was not well between the pair when he dramatically hung up during a phone interview with a radio station after a crude question about Kidman’s raunchy recent scenes, such as in her movies Babygirl and A Family Affair.

For her part, and while promoting her Netflix series The Perfect Couple back in September last year, Kidman admitted there was no such thing as a ‘perfect’ marriage.

‘There’s no perfect anything,’ she said, ‘anything that’s presented as perfect… forget it.’ 

Earlier that year, Kidman said she was ‘so lucky’ to have met the singer.

‘I’m so lucky that I have Keith who’s just my love, my deep, deep love,’ she told People magazine.

‘I’m so lucky that I have Keith… that gives me the ability to go and do whatever I have to do because I know where I can come back,’ she added.

The news of their split comes just weeks after Kidman marked nearly two decades of marriage with Urban by sharing a heartfelt tribute to the country star on their 19th wedding anniversary.

To mark the special occasion, the Big Little Lies star posted a sweet black and white photo of them sharing a sweet moment backstage at one of his shows. 

In the image, the Oscar winner can be seen with one arm draped lovingly over her husband’s shoulders as he held her hand. 

The happy couple both closed their eyes as Kidman rested her forehead against Urban’s head. 

‘Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban,’ she captioned the post, which received more than 25,023 likes in less than an hour. 

Within minutes, the Somebody Like You hitmaker commented a single red heart emoji.

The pair wed back in 2006 during a traditional Catholic ceremony at the Cardinal Cerretti Chapel in her hometown of Sydney. 

Kidman and Urban married five years after her split from actor Cruise.

She welcomed Sunday in July 2008 and Faith via surrogate two years later. 

In 2022, the singer insisted that he and his wife are ‘as normal as you get’ on an episode of Jessica Rowe’s podcast series The Big Talk Show. 

He also spoke about the very first time they met at the G’Day LA event in 2005, saying he thought the stunning Hollywood star was ‘well out of his league.’

‘We’re just a couple who work things out, go through things together, life, and support each other the best way we can and try and raise our family,’ Urban explained.

‘Underneath it all, we’re as normal as you can get I reckon,’ he claimed, before reflecting he was ‘not in a great place’ when they first met.

‘[She] seemed well out of my league at that time in my life,’ he said.

‘I was not in a great place at my life, struggling with a lot of things, not in a million years would someone like that see anything in me… The fact that became what it is meant to be is astounding.’

He also sweetly described his wife as ‘ethereal, angelic, other worldly, very mystical and then completely down to earth at the same time and very funny.’ 

Last year, Urban reflected on how he nearly destroyed his marriage, not long after they walked down the aisle. 

‘We got married in 2006, and barely four months into our marriage, the addictions that I had done really nothing about blew our marriage to smithereens,’ he said while  presenting at the AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute to Kidman last year. 

Urban revealed that he was struggling with addiction when he first met Nicole and with her support he managed to eventually pull through. 

‘Four months into a marriage, and I’m in rehab for three months with no idea what was going to happen to us.

‘Nic pushed through every negative voice – I’m sure even some of her own – and she chose love.

‘And here we are tonight 18 years later. Her capacity to love is like no one I’ve ever met,’ he concluded.

The father-of-two, whose previously said he grew up watching his father’s heavy drinking, previously said it took him ‘a long time to get sober’ because he didn’t ‘recognize’ his alcoholism.
