Hollywood insider Rob Shuter addressed the topic on his Substack, writing, “Nicole wanted to fight for them, but Keith had already checked out – and she knew why... It wasn’t about distance, schedules, or bad habits. It was about another woman. And Nicole knows who she is."
The source insisted Urban’s friends tried to cover for him, but it didn’t work.
"(Nicole's) not naïve,” they said. “She heard the stories, she saw the signs. At some point, the truth becomes impossible to ignore. She’s not going to live as anyone’s second choice.”
