Keith Urban has been singing the blues to his buddy Blake Shelton in the wake of his messy split from Nicole Kidman, sources tell Globe.

“Blake is the veteran of two failed marriages himself, and he’s learned how to survive a divorce, especially one that plays out in the public eye like Keith’s appears to be doing now,” says the insider.

The pair have grown close while working together on CBS’ new music reality show, The Road.

“Blake understands from the guy’s perspective and he’s letting Keith know he’ll have tips and support to offer,” the insider adds. Also, the longtime Voice coach has reassured Keith he’ll keep any revelations in confidence.

“Somebody Like You” crooner Keith, 58, has been pushing most of his other friends away ever since Nicole, 58, slapped him with divorce papers in a bombshell filing in September.

As readers know, their 19-year union went from sizzle to fizzle in recent years and they were leading increasingly separate lives — and found they had barely anything in common when they were together.

Keith was upset that the Babygirl star was routinely choosing acting roles that called for her to film frisky sex scenes with much younger costars.

But the Grammy winner wasn’t blameless either. He had reportedly moved on with a much younger woman even before they formalized the split. Rumors are circulating he was secretly wooing his 25-year-old touring guitar player Maggie Baugh. (Maggie hasn’t addressed the rumors publicly but reportedly has a boyfriend and a rule against dating band members.)

Blake is the one person who could relate to Keith’s situation. Before he wed No Doubt songbird Gwen Stefani, 56, in 2021, he endured a toxic divorce battle with Miranda Lambert, 42, when their four-year marriage ended in 2015.

And he’s happy to lend Keith the benefit of his experience.

“He says Keith’s welcome to come over to his ranch and ride horses, help with the harvest, have jam sessions or whatever he wants,” a source says.

“He’s also encouraging Keith to keep busy, write music and not beat himself up too much because it does no good to do that.”
