Keith Urban’s Guitarist Returns to Instagram After Divorce Bombshell

Keith Urban's longtime touring guitarist has resurfaced on social media with a cryptic new post — her first since news broke of Urban's divorce from Nicole Kidman.

On October 6, 2025, Maggie Baugh posted a completely black image on Instagram with no visible content or clues.

The blank screen was paired with a brief caption that read, "Announcement coming soon…" The minimalist post coincided with Kidman's first public appearance since filing for divorce.

The Oscar-winning actress attended the Chanel Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show at Paris Fashion Week. Photographers captured Kidman blowing a kiss to the cameras, wearing a crisp white shirt, with her signature blonde hair perfectly styled. Notably absent was her wedding ring.

In another image from the event, the "The Perfect Couple" actress waved at the camera, was seen in the same outfit, and still without her wedding ring.

The "A Family Affair" actress officially filed for divorce from Urban on September 30, 2025, in Nashville, citing irreconcilable differences. Court documents confirmed that Kidman listed the same date as their separation, marking the end of the couple's 19-year marriage.

As details of the split emerged, new reports offered insight into how the couple and their families are coping.

A source close to the couple told People that Kidman, 58, "didn't want this," adding that she had been "fighting to save the marriage." The insider also said that Kidman's sister, Antonia Kidman, has been a strong source of support, with the entire Kidman family rallying around each other during this time.

However, a second source told the publication that the separation had been known within their inner circle for some time, as the pair had already been living apart. Those close to Urban reportedly believed the breakup was inevitable.

The filing followed a summer spent apart, with Kidman filming "Practical Magic 2" in London while Urban, 57, was touring globally on his High and Alive World Tour.

Following the public attention surrounding her recent Instagram post and its timing amid Urban and Kidman's high-profile split, it is worth looking back at Baugh's own journey — one that began long before the spotlight and has been defined by talent, perseverance, and a lifelong devotion to music.

Born in Boca Raton, Florida, Baugh began her music education at the age of six, training on the classical violin. Although she grew up immersed in orchestra programs and classical sheet music, she felt a stronger pull toward a different path — one defined by honest lyrics, heartfelt melodies, and songs she wrote herself.

As a teenager, she released her first record and began performing at festivals throughout the southeastern United States. By the time she was 13, she was already traveling to Nashville to write music — a commitment that deepened over the years and eventually led her to relocate there permanently at 18.

Battling bullying at school, she sought solace in singing and songwriting, a private passion that soon turned into a profession. A pivotal moment occurred when her violin teacher recommended that she try the guitar. That small suggestion changed everything, marking her transition from a classical performer to a country music creator.

Her exit from classical music wasn't rebellious; it was deeply personal. The isolated world of orchestras didn't suit her warm, outgoing spirit. She longed for autonomy, a space where she could write and perform her own truth. She found it in country music, and she claimed it fully by independently producing her own album, "Entertainers Heart."

Long before viral fame or Nashville dreams, Baugh took her fiddle and her family to Austin, Texas, to audition for "America's Got Talent" at the tender age of 11. While she didn't make the cut, the experience would shape her career in more ways than one.

Maggie's most significant break came when Keith tapped her to join his band as a multi-instrumentalist during a major televised performance. Keith, on the hunt for female players skilled in both guitar and fiddle, found the perfect match in Maggie.

According to Pittsburgh Music Magazine, she not only performed at the Country Music Television (CMT) Awards, but also joined Urban on tour, gaining real-world experience that would fuel her "Entertainers Heart" headlining tour, now spanning 60 dates with international stops.

Performing alongside a global icon left a deep impression on Baugh, not just musically, but personally. "Working with him was like going to rock star school. He is a musical encyclopedia," she said.

And she's loving every minute of life on the road. In an Instagram post from her Chicago tour stop on September 24, she shared her excitement: "It is always a blast hanging with Keith and the Crew. Grateful to be in Chicago TONIGHT. Yall let's GO [sic]."

Through the ups and downs surrounding those around her, Baugh remains grounded in what has always driven her — her passion for music.
