Last year, fans of Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman were caught off guard by the announcement of their divorce after nearly two decades of marriage.
Insiders later revealed that the couple had been living apart, and Kidman was left with no option but to file for divorce when Urban did not respond to her efforts to reconcile. She cited “irreconcilable differences” in her filing and requested to be the “primary residential parent” for their daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.
Their divorce was finalized in early 2026, involving the division of a global property portfolio valued at over $280 million. Although the exact legal costs remain undisclosed, the settlement required each party to cover their own legal expenses, and they mutually waived spousal support. However, Urban’s recent career move has sparked speculations about his financial status.
Prior to the split, Urban’s net worth was reportedly around $75 million. However, this figure may have taken a hit, as evidenced by his recent performance on a cruise ship. The “Your Everything” singer entertained around 1,000 guests aboard the Top Shelf Country Cruise heading to the Bahamas.
This performance is a significant departure from the large arenas he typically sells out. But does this shift indicate financial difficulties for Urban?
There’s really no way to tell since the details of the settlement have not been made public. However, it’s common knowledge that divorce lawyers for high-profile celebrities are not cheap. And insiders told New Idea Magazine that there’s no denying the cruise ship was a notable downgrade for Urban, with one source insisting, “It’s the kind of gig that Keith would have turned his nose up at during his marriage to Nicole.”
Another source added, “Cruise ships are not exactly the dream gig, but they pay the bills — and it gives Keith something to focus on. He’s trying to stay busy now that his divorce is finalized.”
While a third said, the musician is “putting a bright spin on everything right now,” despite the contrast between the cruise performance and his recent sell-out tour, adding, “Keith is determined to keep working while he figures out, with his new management team, some exciting plans for the latter part of this year.”
There were also rumors that some in Urban’s circle were concerned he was going through a “midlife crisis” after his eldest daughter’s March cover interview with Elle Australia, in which she praised her mother but made no mention of her father.
“My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life. She’s a key part of everything I do,” Sunday told the magazine.
That comes on the heels of reports that both daughters have cut their dad off since their parents’ split and are not on speaking terms with him at this time.
As for the cruise, the price passengers paid for their seven-day voyage ranged from $6,700 to $19,000, but just how much Keith received for the gig was not disclosed.
