Nicole Kidman appeared glamorously unbothered in a new Instagram photo dump from Paris Fashion Week, sporting fresh bangs and looking chic. But in the wake of her shocking split from Keith Urban following 19 years of marriage and seemingly endless public displays of affection, “she’s cried a lot of tears,” reports a source. “It’s been a horrific couple of weeks.”
After news of the breakup broke, rumors began circulating that Keith, 57, was involved with a younger woman. Speculation ramped up when he altered song lyrics — which used to be about Nicole — to reference his 25-year-old guitarist, Maggie Baugh. Nicole, 58, “says that anyone with a brain can tell Keith is being an insensitive pig,” says the source. “But she’s made of tough stuff, so hiding out at home or behind closed doors isn’t an option.”

The Chanel ambassador’s Paris trip alongside daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, was a calculated statement of strength, insists the source.
“Nicole has always been extremely conscious of appearances. Keith is the villain and Nicole is the victim, which is clearly how she wants it. Sunday and Faith love their dad dearly, but they’re feeling very loyal to their mom right now, and they’ve made it their mission to be by her side.”
The source adds that Nicole “is doing her best to put on a brave face. She’s facing the world head on.”
