Keith Urban speaks out over changing another song lyric after Nicole Kidman divorce
Keith Urban has set the record straight after changing another song lyric following his divorce from Nicole Kidman.
After 19 years of marriage, the Babygirl actor, 58, filed for divorce from the country singer, 58, on 30 September.
The former celebrity couple, who share two teenage daughters, were said to have 'suffered irreconcilable differences', according to the filing.
The pair first met in 2005 at the G'Day USA gala in Los Angeles, before they got engaged and married in 2006, with their wedding taking place in Sydney, Australia.

While Kidman and Urban have yet to speak publicly about their divorce, speculation began after fans spotted a lyric change days before news broke.
Taking to Instagram, the musician's guitarist, Maggie Baugh, shared a video of the four-time Grammy winner changing the lyric in one of his songs.
During a performance of his 2016 hit 'The Fighter' on his 'High And Alive World Tour', he sang: “When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player."
"Did he just say that," the 25-year-old said in response in the caption to the video.
The lyrics of the original song featuring Carrie Underwood are: "When they're tryna get to you, baby I'll be the fighter."
Now, in the final stop of his tour on 17 October, he was about to perform his 2002 song 'You'll Think of Me' when he addressed the rumours to the crowd.
According to fan footage shared on TikTok, he said: "I’ve been covering like this for a long time. Stop reading s**t into it. It’s called 'You’ll Think of Me'."
Urban then opted to change the original lyrics 'but you’ll think of me,' to 'but I betcha think about me'. He also swapped 'take your space and take your reasons' with 'all your bulls**t reasons', The Cut reports.
Kidman didn't say anything about the divorce in her recent interview with Harper's BAZAAR.
When asked, 'what age do you feel you are in your head?', the 2003 Academy Award winner replied: "Depends. Sometimes I feel like I’m really, really, really old because I've had so many life experiences.
"And then other times I feel like I’m still a little girl, like suddenly I feel like I’m five. I think there’s a sense of play that always feels available to me…I love dancing, playing, and being silly.
"But as I get older, I want to be able to share and impart the things I’ve learned. I’ve seen a lot, I’ve experienced a lot, and I’ve survived a lot."
She added: "I want to pass on some of that knowledge and that wisdom and whatever I’ve learned. I’m not big on telling people what to do, but I’m more than happy to share."
