Amid his ongoing divorce from Nicole Kidman, country star Keith Urban shared a lighthearted moment with a fan sharing his estranged wife’s name.
During his October 17 concert on the High and Alive Tour at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, the 57-year-old “Blue Ain’t Your Color” singer bantered with an audience member. Holding his microphone toward the crowd, Keith teased, “I’m not gonna like your name?” The fan replied, “It’s Nicole.”
The arena erupted in laughter as Keith dramatically rolled onto his back, hand raised dramatically, before quipping back, “Did you say Nicole Richie? It’s unreal. How are you, Nicole Richie? You have a twin.”

Later in the show, Keith jumped into the pit to help the fan announce her pregnancy to her family, holding up a gray onesie that read, “Smallest Keith Urban Fan.”
Since the September public reveal of their split, Keith and Nicole, 58, have avoided direct comments on the breakup. However, the Oscar winner has reflected on life’s unpredictability as she navigates her 50s.
“How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going,” she told Vogue, “and then it isn’t going in that direction?”
In a Harper’s Bazaar interview, the actress—who shares daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, with Keith—emphasized resilience through experience. “The best part is the experiences that you’ve accumulated,” she said. “You go, ‘Oh, I’ve been here before. I actually know how to handle this now.’ Or, ‘Maybe I haven’t been in this place, but I’ve experienced something similar to this, and I do know that I will get through it.’”
“There’s something to knowing that no matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is, there is a way through,” she added. “You’re going to have to feel it. You’re not going to be able to numb it.”
