Keith Urban had an emotional moment on stage while introducing his new song “We Go Back.”
Speaking on stage, he revealed that the song was about a couple who “had a good thing going until the guy screwed it up.”
Urban and Kidman divorced earlier this year after almost 20 years of marriage.
Keith Urban appeared to have an emotional moment during his show at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City on August 21. While introducing his new song “We Go Back,” the singer got emotional as he opened up about the pain of watching an ex move on with someone new. His on-stage comments come amid rumors that his ex-wife Nicole Kidman has struck up a new romance.
“This song is about a guy and a girl growing up in a small town,” he said to the crowd, per Hello!. “They were the first of their friends to fall in love. They had a good thing going until the guy screwed it up. I will do that.”
He then spoke about how this fictional man reconnects with his ex years later. “This guy can’t believe it. He sees the girl, she looks exactly the same. They start talking, they are getting along great. She tells him she’s got somebody else,” he said.
As he sang the chorus, Urban appeared to become emotional and could even be seen wiping away a few tears.

“What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that,” she told Variety in March. “Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
She and Urban share daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.
The actress told British Voguein an interview published earlier this month that she never expected to split from Urban. “You make all these plans and you have all these ideas of what it’s all going to be like and then it’s… not. You have to adjust. You adapt. The future, it’s completely unknown to me right now. Strange,” she said, before adding, “There was a point where I was very fearful and deeply vulnerable, which is exposing. And then at the same time [I’m] going, ‘Well, I can either really not confront it and just curl up, or I can just go forward with an enormous amount of hope.’”
Kidman is now rumored to be dating private equity investor Michael Reinstein.
