Marriage on his mind.
Keith Urban critiqued a song about marriage on Sunday night’s episode of his CBS show “The Road,” filmed before his split from Nicole Kidman was revealed.
The country singer, 58, offered guidance to contestant Jenny Tolman who was practicing her song “Married in a Honky Tonk” ahead of a concert at Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Urban told Tolman to switch to a higher note, which Tolman appreciated.
However, Tolman was eliminated at the end of the episode.
“The Road” follows 12 aspiring musicians as they compete to open for Urban at music venues across the country.
The series has included hints that Urban’s marriage to Kidman, 58, was on the rocks after nearly 20 years.
During the Oct. 19 series premiere, Urban performed his song “Straight Line” — which he had previously said is about “wanting to break out of a soul-sucking routine that you might be stuck in.”
Earlier in the episode, Urban said that he feels “lonely and miserable” while on tour.
News broke in September that Urban and Kidman separated and had been living apart since “since the beginning of summer.” The “Big Little Lies” actress officially filed for divorce from her husband on Sept. 30.
“Their lives were moving in different directions, and once he quietly set up his own place, it felt like the writing was on the wall,” a source told People about Urban moving out of their family home in Nashville.
Rumors have also swirled that the Grammy Award winner is already involved with a new woman.
“All the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman. Let’s just say, Nicole doesn’t dispute that, but she’s still shocked over it,” multiple sources told People.
Since filing for divorce, Kidman has made various public appearances, including at amFAR’s auction in Dallas on Oct. 4 and at Vogue World: Hollywood 2025 in Los Angeles on Oct. 26, where she walked the runway in a stunning black dress.
She also spoke about dealing with “painful” life changes in a Oct. 9 interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
“There’s something to knowing that no matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is, there is a way through,” said Kidman, who shares daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, with Urban.
“You’re going to have to feel it. You’re not going to be able to numb it. You are going to have to feel it, and it’s going to feel insurmountable at times,” Kidman continued. “You’re going to feel like you’re broken, but if you move gently and slowly – and it can take an enormous amount of time – it does pass.”
Urban, for his part, has mostly laid low since the split news, though he did perform at the 59th Annual CMA Awards in Nashville on Nov. 19.
