**Nicole Kidman Feels Betrayed by Nashville Friends Amid Divorce from Keith Urban**
*Published Oct. 3, 2025, 4:10 p.m. ET*
Nicole Kidman has been put through the ringer as she grieves the loss of her 19-year marriage with Keith Urban — and many close Nashville friends they once shared, including fellow country music singer Blake Shelton and his wife, Gwen Stefani, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
While the two couples were said to have grown close in recent years, even hanging out together at Kidman and Urban’s $3.5 million home, insiders claim Kidman, 58, has been deeply hurt by the “silence” from those in her estranged husband’s inner circle, many of whom she considered her friends as well.
**Keith Urban Sparks Friendship With Blake Shelton**
Both Urban, 57, and Shelton, 49, have been in each other’s orbits for years thanks to their country music careers, but insiders say the two singers grew especially close while working on the TV series *The Road* together. The duo began hanging out regularly and often exchanged relationship advice.
According to sources, the former *The Voice* coach thought very highly of his pal’s marriage to the Oscar winner. An insider shared:
“(Shelton) really admires what Keith has built with Nicole – it’s something they talk about a lot, and Keith’s been an incredible sounding board for Blake. Keith has a lot of advice on what it takes to weather storms and keep a marriage going when things are challenging.”
**Urban’s Pals Never Warned Kidman About ‘Cheating Rumors’**
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Kidman is said to be the one who desperately fought to save the marriage before Urban moved out of their Nashville home and into a rental property.
One day after the bombshell separation news—and amid rumors of the *You’ll Think of Me* singer already moving on with “another woman”—Kidman officially filed for divorce.
Insiders later claimed gossip about Urban having a romantic partner not named Kidman was considered an open secret around Music City, adding a layer of betrayal to the already painful situation Kidman is in.
**Kidman ‘Can’t Understand’ Why Nashville Pals Said Nothing**
While Kidman believed she was also friends with Shelton and Stefani, their loyalty to Urban has been made painfully clear, according to a source close to the situation. The insider claimed:
“Nicole feels blindsided not just by Keith but by the silence of the whole group. She can’t understand how no one gave her even a hint, not Blake, not anyone.”
Whispers about Urban’s “late nights and mysterious disappearances” reportedly circulated for months before Kidman filed for divorce, prompting the *Babygirl* star to reflect on her friendships in a much different light.
The source continued:
“Looking back, Nicole sees it now. The jokes, the awkward pauses, the looks – they were signs. She just didn’t want to believe them. She thought they were her friends, too. Now she feels betrayed by the whole world Keith came from.”
