Keith Urban's awkward reaction to meeting fan named Nicole amid divorce from Nicole Kidman

The interaction took place at the finale of the singer's tour in Nashville

The news of Keith Urban's divorce from Nicole Kidman isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

It was recently announced that Kidman and Urban are going their separate ways after almost 20 years of marriage.

The Babygirl actress Kidman filed for divorce from her country music star husband last month and asked to become the primary residential parent of their two teenage daughters.

The pair are yet to publicly acknowledge their pending divorce but Kidman appeared to allude to the breakdown of their marriage.

In an interview with Vogue she said: "How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?"

News broke about their separation after the interview was published.

Now, Urban has somewhat been faced with addressed the news of his divorce during the final night of his tour at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Friday, October 17.

Urban saw a sign from a fan that asked the singer to tell their family that they're pregnant.

He proceeded to crouch down near the fan and asked them their name.

"You're not going to like my name," the woman replied in the video taken by USA Today journalist, Bryan West.

Confused, Urban replied: "I'm not going to like you're name?" The fan then told him that it was 'Nicole'.

Urban then hid his face and collapsed to the floor in the hilariously awkward exchange, while the crowd erupted into laughter.


The interaction with one his fans came a night after Urban was forced to cancel his October 16 gig in Greenville, South Carolina. He was due to perform at the Secours Wellness Arena.

A statement on the stadium's website read: "Keith Urban has been advised by his longtime laryngologist Dr. Gaelyn Garrett, from the Vanderbilt Voice Center, to cancel his performance in Greenville, SC tonight at Bon Secours Wellness Arena due to laryngitis which began earlier this week.

"He has been placed on complete vocal rest and Dr. Garrett is optimistic that he will be back onstage for his Nashville show."

It went on: "If you purchased tickets through Ticketmaster, refunds will be issued automatically; there is nothing further ticketholders need to do. If you purchased from a third-party reseller, please reach out to your point of purchase."

Urban also issued an apology to his fans. He said: "Hey Greenville, I’m so SO sorry to have to cancel the show. I know all the logistics it takes to get to a concert these days and I’ve never taken any of that, or any of YOU for granted. I’m looking forward to getting back there when we can!!!!!"
