Russell Dickerson recently disclosed that his friend Keith Urban is indeed a fighter. This revelation came three months after Nicole Kidman and the "Somebody Like You" singer finalized their divorce, a union that bore two daughters together—Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Speaking at the March 26 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Russell shared an update on Keith's current state, noting, "He's always been focused on music, and I think he's just kind of doubling down on that. It's just beautiful. I can't wait to hear what comes out of it."
Although the two country music stars were able to connect at the Country to Country festival in mid-March, Russell noted that they didn't get to spend "tons of time" together. However, from the brief moments they did share, Russell said that Keith "seemed in good spirits." He added, "I've toured with all of them, but Keith Urban is my guy."
The update on Keith comes after Nicole, 58, shared that she was doing "all right" after finalizing her divorce from Keith in January, following 19 years of marriage. She told Variety on March 11, "I am always going to be moving toward what's good. What I'm grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That's it. Everything else I don't discuss out of respect."
Nicole, who is also a mother to Isabella Cruise, 32, and Connor Cruise, 30, from her previous relationship with Tom Cruise, emphasized that coparenting her daughters with Keith is her top priority. She noted, "I'm staying in a place of 'We are a family,' and that's what we'll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women."
Nicole filed for divorce in September, just one day after E! News learned that they had been living separately "since the beginning of the summer." Three months later, the couple finalized their divorce and settled on a plan for the custody of their children. According to documents obtained by E! at the time, Nicole will spend 306 days a year with their daughters, while Keith will have every other weekend with them.
Despite undergoing a major life shift amid her divorce, Nicole shared that one aspect that will remain unchanged is her home in Nashville, Tennessee. She explained, "We have our life here. I'm part of the city and community for 20 years. It's my home."
