**Nicole Kidman Feels Betrayed by Nashville Friends Amid Divorce from Keith Urban**
*Published October 3, 2025, 4:10 p.m. ET*
Nicole Kidman has been going through an emotional ordeal as she copes with the end of her 19-year marriage to Keith Urban. According to RadarOnline.com, she has also been deeply hurt by the silence of many close Nashville friends the couple once shared, including fellow country music singer Blake Shelton and his wife, Gwen Stefani.
In recent years, the two couples reportedly grew close, often spending time together at Kidman and Urban’s $3.5 million Nashville home. However, insiders reveal that Kidman, 58, feels deeply wounded by the apparent lack of support from Keith Urban’s inner circle—many of whom she considered her own friends.
### Keith Urban and Blake Shelton’s Friendship
Keith Urban, 57, and Blake Shelton, 49, have moved in similar circles for years due to their country music careers. Sources say their friendship grew stronger while working on the TV series *The Road* together. The two singers began hanging out regularly and often shared relationship advice.
An insider shared, “(Shelton) really admires what Keith has built with Nicole – it’s something they talk about a lot, and Keith’s been an incredible sounding board for Blake. Keith has a lot of advice on what it takes to weather storms and keep a marriage going when things are challenging.”
### Urban’s Friends Didn’t Warn Kidman About ‘Cheating Rumors’
As previously reported, Kidman is said to have been the one desperately trying to save the marriage before Urban moved out of their Nashville home and into a rental. Just one day after the separation news broke—and amid rumors that Urban was already involved with another woman—Kidman officially filed for divorce.
Insiders later revealed that gossip about Urban’s romantic involvement with someone other than Kidman was an open secret in Music City. This revelation added a painful layer of betrayal to an already difficult situation for the Oscar-winning actress.
### Kidman ‘Can’t Understand’ the Silence from Nashville Friends
Despite believing she was also friends with Shelton and Stefani, Kidman has reportedly been shaken by their loyalty to Urban. A source close to the situation said, “Nicole feels blindsided not just by Keith but by the silence of the whole group. She can’t understand how no one gave her even a hint, not Blake, not anyone.”
Whispers about Urban’s “late nights and mysterious disappearances” had been circulating for months before Kidman filed for divorce, prompting her to reassess her friendships in a new light.
The source continued, “Looking back, Nicole sees it now. The jokes, the awkward pauses, the looks—they were signs. She just didn’t want to believe them. She thought they were her friends, too. Now she feels betrayed by the whole world Keith came from.”
