Keith Urban Dating History: Romances and Exes Before Nicole Kidman

Keith Urban has only had one wife — actress Nicole Kidman. The country superstar and the Oscar-winning actress married in 2006 and share two children. But with Kidman filing for divorce in September 2025, Urban’s dating history is back in the spotlight, giving fans a closer look at the relationships that came before his high-profile marriage.

The former couple’s separation was first reported by TMZ, and according to multiple reports, the split wasn’t Nicole’s choice. “She didn’t want this,” a source told People. “She has been fighting to cut the marriage.” Another insider echoed that Keith has already “acquired his own residence in Nashville and has moved out of their family home.”

The couple’s relationship has had its ups and downs for years. Nicole herself admitted to Harper’s Bazaar in 2021 that marriage required effort. “We’re always working through stuff, but it’s very much love-based, so there’s an enormous amount of give and take. I want him to have the best life he can have, and he responds the same way.”

Compared to Kidman, whose dating history includes Tom Cruise, Lenny Kravitz, Marcus Graham and Tom Burlinson, Urban’s publicly known relationships are far fewer. According to BBC, he “enjoyed a long string of female companions, including the supermodel Niki Taylor, and his long-term love, Laura Sigler.”

Niki Taylor

One of Urban’s most high-profile pre-Kidman relationships was with supermodel Niki Taylor. They dated for two years in the early 2000s, and their romance had all the hallmarks of seriousness. The couple lived together, had matching tattoos, and Taylor even appeared in Urban’s track video for “Somebody Like You,” Stylecaster reported.

Reflecting on the relationship years later, Taylor told People, “His career got really busy, I got really busy, and we never saw each other. We’re still friends, and I’m so happy for him and Nicole.”

Laura Sigler

Another key relationship in Urban’s past was with Laura Sigler, a veterinary assistant from Nashville. Urban and Sigler dated for eight years, and they were even engaged at one point, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Their long-term relationship ended in 2002, before Urban met Kidman.

Sigler had some candid reflections about Urban in the past. She told The Sun, via TODAY, “Nicole and Keith might date for a while — but it won’t last very long. I don’t know her but I know him very well.”

She added to the Mail on Sunday, “There were a lot of lows… I don’t have any dark past — he was probably the darkest part, but I’m on my own today and I’m happy about that. He is very attractive and when he talks the talk, he can be very seductive. But I am not sure Keith will ever be ready to settle down.”

While Urban’s pre-Kidman relationship history is relatively short, it’s clearly left a mark on those who knew him intimately. today, following the announcement of his divorce from Kidman, fans are revisiting these past romances and wondering how they shaped the country star before he entered Hollywood royalty.

“People close to Keith felt like the split was kind of inevitable,” a source told People. Beyond these anonymous insights, the exact reasons for the divorce haven’t been publicly confirmed.
