Maggie Baugh’s Father Responds to Dating Rumors with Keith Urban Amid Nicole Kidman Split

The recent news that Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce from country music icon Keith Urban — ending their 19-year marriage — has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world. Almost immediately, speculation surged over potential reasons behind the split. Among the most talked-about rumors is the suggestion that Keith Urban may have developed a romantic connection with Maggie Baugh, a young guitarist who has been touring with him — bringing into question whether their relationship was more than professional.

The background and origin of the rumors

Maggie Baugh, about 25 years old, is a multi-instrumentalist who has performed in Keith Urban’s ensemble. During a recent concert, Keith Urban performed his song “The Fighter” — long associated with his marriage to Nicole — but altered the lyrics: instead of “When they’re tryna get to you, baby, I’ll be the fighter,” he sang, “When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player.” Baugh posted a video clip of the performance with the caption “Did he just say that 👀,” which amplified speculation about their connection. 

A performance video from April resurfaced in which Keith Urban appears to point at Maggie while singing “I was born to love you,” fuelling further intrigue. Meanwhile, insiders claim the separation between Keith and Nicole had long been coming — rumors say they had already been living apart for months before the official filing.

The family’s response: Maggie’s father speaks

In light of the swirling rumors, Maggie’s father, Chuck Baugh, broke his silence. Asked about whether his daughter is romantically involved with Keith Urban, he responded that he “knows nothing beyond that she’s a guitar player working with him.” He characterized their interactions as being “more of a musician thing than a dating thing.”

Earlier, he had shared a circulating TikTok video alleging a romance and added a blunt comment “NO. Just No.” in an effort to dismiss the rumors. He further admitted that he has not heard anything conclusive about a relationship between the two.

Although Chuck Baugh’s denial is firm, many observers argue it remains ambiguous enough to leave the story open ended. The lyric alteration during Keith’s concert adds a degree of intentionality that fans interpret as more than mere stagecraft. 

Maggie has remained silent on the issue. She recently posted a cryptic “Announcement coming soon” in her social media feed — a move that only intensifies curiosity rather than quelling speculation.

Some sources also suggest that Maggie may be in a relationship with someone else, specifically lighting designer Cameron Coley, which might undercut the plausibility of a romance with Keith Urban.

Nicole Kidman has so far remained tight-lipped regarding the causes of the divorce. Her public focus appears to center on her career, her children — Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14) — and recovering from a very public separation.

Final thoughts

At present, there is no conclusive public evidence confirming a romantic relationship between Maggie Baugh and Keith Urban. The father’s response attempts to defuse speculation, but its ambiguity and the very nature of the rumors keep the door open. Maggie’s own silence or cryptic hints only amplify the intrigue.

In the realm of celebrity rumors, many speculations thrive only to be dispelled — while others are validated over time. Until Maggie, Keith, or Nicole address the matter directly, the truth remains in limbo, suspended between public curiosity and private reality.
