Nicole Kidman’s Friends ‘Terrified’ She’ll Take Ex Keith Urban Back Amid Singer Doing ‘a Real 180’

Keith Urban is reportedly having major regrets about his split from Nicole Kidman, but her friends are urging her not to let him worm his way back into her life as she’s doing much better without him.

But despite being put through hell during their marriage, the 58-year-old Babygirl star still has a soft spot for the country crooner, insiders say.

“Nicole has been putting on a brave face, but everyone close to her knows she still loves Keith and misses him,” says a source who adds that she’s heard he’s been telling mutual friends he wouldn’t mind giving the marriage another go.

“He’s done a real 180 the last few weeks and has started saying how much he regrets the breakup,” the source says. “Her friends are terrified she’s going to get sucked back in and are begging her not to let nostalgia cloud her judgment.”

Since Nicole filed for divorce on Sept. 30 after 19 years of marriage, Keith, 58, has been exceptionally busy, filming the second season of the CBS talent show The Road with Blake Shelton, performing in Las Vegas, where has a long-running residency, and playing for President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

But without Nicole and their daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, he’s been feeling lonely and exhausted, especially after she took them to Australia for the Christmas holidays instead of spending them in Nashville together as a family like they had agreed.

According to our insider, “He didn’t kick up a fuss about the change of plans and was a real gentleman about it, which definitely softened her heart towards him.”

But sources also note she has begun to enjoy life now that she doesn’t constantly have to try to placate him or worry that he’ll relapse after recovering from drug and alcohol addictions in 2006.

“She spent so many years tying herself into knots trying to make Keith happy and now she’s finally free to put herself first,” says an insider. “She’s made huge strides since they split and her friends are determined not to let her slide back into old patterns.”

“They don’t want to see her lose herself all over again trying to save him, but there’s only so much they can do to stop her,” the insider adds.
