Keith Urban ditched his wedding band as he returned to the stage for the first time since his shock divorce from Nicole Kidman. 

The 57-year-old country singer – who has been embroiled in rumors that he has already moved on with a younger woman in the industry – hit the stage at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania, as part of his High and Alive World Tour.

While performing the 2024 track Heart Like a Hometown during Thursday’s concert, Urban paid a bizarre tribute to his estranged wife, as he chose to keep a photo of Kidman and their teenage daughters in a slideshow that played for the crowd. 

He then opened up to his fans about his childhood and how his parents allowed him to drop out of school so he could pursue his passion for music full-time, per People. 

Urban also notably dropped his 2016 song The Fighter from the setlist on Thursday – a track that is said to be inspired by his now estranged wife. 

He was seen rocking out in a grey t-shirt and jeans and mingling with fans during the performance. 

Keith Urban, 57, ditched his wedding band as he returned to the stage for the first time since his shock divorce from Nicole Kidman 

Earlier, he was spotted stepping out of a plane at Harrisburg International Airport with his ring finger once again completely bare. He landed in Pennsylvania on Thursday shortly before his performance.

It comes only days after his split from Kidman came to light – with the Oscar winner, 58, officially filing for divorce on Tuesday following 19 years of marriage and welcoming two children: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. 

Urban kept it casual in a black printed shirt as well as a tan jacket and gray cap placed on top of his head. 

He additionally sported a pair of black shades and carried a leather duffle bag in his hand while exiting the plane. 

The singer kicked off his High and Alive Tour earlier this year in May and is set to conclude later this month on October 17 in Nashville. 

Urban will make other stops in states including Connecticut, Virginia, Texas and South Carolina. 

The star initially announced the tour late last year in December which is in support of his 12th studio album High (2024). 

He opted to not wear his wedding ring on Thursday just two days after his estranged wife filed for divorce on Tuesday and cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the shock separation. 

The former couple first crossed paths in 2005 and became engaged in May 2006. The following month, the stars said ‘I do’ at the Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel in Sydney, Australia. 

And earlier this week, a Nashville-based music business PR claimed that Urban has already moved on with someone younger in the music industry. 

‘The rumor is that he’s with a younger woman in the business. It’s all everyone is talking about. Everyone wants to know who, but so far, that’s a mystery.’ 

Fellow country music artist Maggie Baugh, 25, has been wrapped up in the romance speculation.

The star happily mingled with fans

Urban and Baugh first met last year in 2024 when he invited her to perform with him during the CMT Music Awards. 

He then asked her to join him as a utility guitarist – which she opened up about during an interview with Pittsburgh Music Magazine back in April. 

‘Working with Urban was like going to rock star school. He is a musical encyclopedia,’ she told the outlet. 

Past clips of the pair performing on stage together have since resurfaced in the wake of the star’s split from Kidman. 

In one video from a Las Vegas concert, Urban could be heard singing, ‘I was born to love you,’ while turning towards Baugh. 

The two music artists had also performed the song The Fighter, with the original lyrics being: ‘When they’re tryna get to you, baby I’ll be the fighter.’

However, Urban could be heard singing, ‘Maggie, I’ll be your fighter,’ which she reposted to Instagram with the caption, ‘Did he just say that.’ 

It is not known of Baugh joined Urban on stage during Thursday’s concert in Pennsylvania.  

Urban and Kidman were last publicly seen together back in June of this year when they attended the FIFA World Cup match in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Australian-American actress currently resides at their $4 million home in Nashville along with their two teenage children. 

The actress was reportedly left ‘blindsided’ by the separation. 

A source stated, ‘Keith never sees Nicole, either she is filming or he is on tour. There was a lot of love between the two and they might not divorce, but there is a world that they both live where neither of them are in it.

‘Keith and Nicole have been together for decades and there is a world which they can reconcile, but the way their pairing is now, it is not a couple.’

The musician sent tongues wagging in the wake of his split with his Oscar-winning wife in an unearthed concert video from TMZ where he expressed his ‘love’ for 25-year-old musician Maggie Baugh; They are seen performing in 2024

A separate source told People that the mom-of-four is ‘hurt’ and did not want their 19-year marriage to come to an end. 

‘Nicole’s hurt and feels betrayed. It’s devastating to her. She’s shocked,’ the insider said and added she ‘didn’t want this and has been fighting to save the marriage.’

According to divorce documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Kidman will become the primary residential parent of their two teenage daughters. 

The estranged couple have agreed to an unusual parenting plan in which Nicole gets 306 days while Keith receives just 59 with their kids. 

Elsewhere, the document specifies that Nicole and Keith will make major decisions regarding their daughters together, including educational and extracurricular activities.

Neither party will receive monthly child support as Keith has ‘already prepaid all child support obligations.’ 

Despite the divorce, both stars will still ‘provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the children.’ 

Kidman and Urban also must not ‘speak badly of each other’ or about other family members.

This comes after Keith and Maggie (pictured) had fans talking when he changed the lyrics to that same song at a recent concert

The former couple will ‘encourage’ their children to ‘love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.’

The stars are also required to take a ‘mandated parenting seminar’ within 60 days of the divorce filing.

The notarized parenting plan was signed by the Oscar winner on September 6, while her estranged husband signed on August 29, a few days earlier.

The former couple have waived both child and spousal support, and agreed to split court costs evenly.
