Keith Urban was spotted for the first time since wife Nicole Kidman filed for divorce, and he wasn’t wearing his wedding ring.
Photos taken Thursday show the country star landing in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania ahead of his show. The images mark his first public appearance since the divorce filing.
Urban’s wedding band was noticeably absent from his ring finger.
The couple’s split became public when Kidman filed divorce papers earlier this week. The Big Little Lies actress cited irreconcilable differences in the filing.
Marriage Under Pressure
Urban and Kidman married in 2006 after meeting at a country music event. They have two daughters together.
Sources close to the couple suggested their relationship had been strained in recent months. Both stars have demanding career schedules that kept them apart frequently.
The divorce filing came as a surprise to many fans who viewed the couple as one of Hollywood’s more stable partnerships.
Continuing Tour Commitments
Despite the personal turmoil, Urban is continuing with his scheduled tour dates. His Harrisburg performance went ahead as planned Thursday night.
The singer hasn’t made any public statements about the divorce proceedings. His representatives declined to comment when contacted by People.
Tour insiders say Urban appears focused on his performances and is maintaining his professional commitments. The remaining dates on his current tour are expected to proceed as scheduled.
Urban’s next show is set for this weekend in Virginia.
The couple will need to work out custody arrangements for their two children as the divorce proceedings move forward.
