After Divorce Shocker, Keith Urban’s Guitarist Returns to Social Media
Keith Urban’s longtime touring guitarist, Maggie Baugh, recently reappeared on Instagram with a cryptic post—her first since news of Urban’s divorce from Nicole Kidman made headlines.
On October 6, 2025, Baugh shared a completely black image with the caption, “Announcement coming soon…” The minimalist post came at a time when Kidman was making her first public appearance since filing for divorce, signaling a moment of change for all involved.
Nicole Kidman was spotted at the Chanel Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week, noticeably without her wedding ring.
Photographers captured the Oscar-winning actress smiling and blowing kisses to the crowd, dressed elegantly in a crisp white shirt. The absence of her wedding ring was a clear sign that her marriage to Urban had come to an end after nearly two decades together. The couple officially filed for divorce on September 30, 2025, citing irreconcilable differences. Court documents confirmed that Kidman listed the same date as their separation, marking the conclusion of their 19-year marriage.
Close sources have revealed that Kidman fought hard to save their relationship, leaning on her family for support, particularly her sister Antonia Kidman. Meanwhile, those in Urban’s inner circle said the split had been expected for some time, as the couple had already been living apart during the summer, with Kidman working on “Practical Magic 2” in London and Urban touring globally.
Amid the public’s focus on the high-profile couple, Maggie Baugh’s own journey has quietly continued. Born in Boca Raton, Florida, Baugh’s musical path began at age six with classical violin lessons. Although deeply trained in classical music, she felt a pull toward a different style—one where she could write honest songs and connect more directly with her audience. Transitioning from violin to guitar, she began writing and performing her own music as a teenager, traveling to Nashville by age 13 to hone her craft.
After relocating permanently to Nashville at 18, Baugh faced the challenges of breaking into the competitive music scene. She found strength in her passion for country music and songwriting, eventually producing her own album, “Entertainer’s Heart.” A significant turning point came when Keith Urban invited her to join his band as a multi-instrumentalist, recognizing her talent on both guitar and fiddle. Since then, she has performed on major stages, including the Country Music Television (CMT) Awards, and toured extensively alongside Urban.
Despite the public attention on Urban and Kidman’s separation, Baugh remains focused on her music career. She often shares moments from life on tour, expressing excitement about the camaraderie with Urban and the band. In a recent Instagram post from her Chicago tour stop, she wrote, “It is always a blast hanging with Keith and the Crew. Grateful to be in Chicago TONIGHT. Yall let’s GO [sic].” For Baugh, music continues to be a source of resilience and joy amid the shifting dynamics around her. As the story of Urban and Kidman’s divorce unfolds, Maggie Baugh’s quiet strength and dedication to her craft offer a reminder of the power of passion and perseverance in the music world.
