Keith Urban said to have friends worried as the country singer makes 'anxious' solo appearances and splashes cash on improving his looks following split from Nicole Kidman

Keith Urban reportedly has friends worried in the wake of his split from Nicole Kidman after 19 years together.

The country music singer, 58, and movie star, 58, finalised their divorce in January. And sources now claim Keith is 'anxious' about this new chapter of his life.

Insiders have suggested the musician has also turned to retail therapy to help get over his nerves about flying solo, Woman's Day magazine reports.

One source pointed to the first major event he attended in May without Nicole by his side - the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.

'It was pretty obvious Keith was anxious about flying solo,' they claimed.

'He knew he was going to be facing off the press for the first time since the divorce and he didn't look comfortable at all.

'His smile didn't meet his eyes this time. It's clear he was a little lost without his former "other half".'

Another source went on to claim Keith has now turned some of his attention to taking better care of his physical appearance. 

They said the 'metrosexual' has enjoyed getting 'pampered' at spas with massages, as well as 'getting his hair highlighted, his nails done', along with skin treatments. 

'He just dropped a small fortune… to get ready for his tour and all the promo,' they claimed.

Keith is also said to have splashed millions on the Nashville studio The Tracking Room, which he has reportedly restored and renamed The Sound.

The property was most recently listed for sale in 2024 for $5.6 million.

'I just like hanging out in here. I'm in heaven,' Keith told Mix Online in 2025.

Daily Mail has contacted Keith for comment.

It comes after Keith left his fans worried when he walked the red carpet at the ACM Awards in Las Vegas last month.

The country superstar was reclaiming the spotlight after his very public divorce from Nicole.

But some were concerned about the singer, with comments on a video from the event insisting Keith looked 'embarrassed' and out of place at the event.

'I feel so bad for him,' wrote one person on Instagram, while another said: 'Missing Nicole, he looks uncomfortable.'

'He looks sad and a little embarrassed,' another chimed in, with someone else writing, 'He looks sad.'

'The limelight was always her jam, not his. Divorce isn't easy,' suggested one more person.

Someone else commented, 'He looks awkward,' while another said, 'Poor guy looks very uncomfortable.'

Others defended the performer, with one fan writing: 'I think he looks great. Some people are not comfortable [with] spotlight cameras.'

Another said: 'Looks gorgeous, however, also anxious.'
