battles involving alcohol and drugs
Their relationship was shattered by Keith’s struggle with drug and alcohol abuse just four months after they tied the knot in 2006. He admitted during his speech at Nicole’s AFI Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony that “we got married in 2006, and we barely four months into our marriage, the addictions that I had done nothing about blew our marriage to pieces.
I’m in rehab for three months after we got married, and I have no idea what would happen. Nic chose love, he continued, going beyond any unfavorable voices, and I’m sure even some of her own.
His newlywed wife, who was employed in Rome at the time, was forced to intervene to encourage him to become sober. Keith claimed in a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone that he would have understood if Nicole had left him.
He admitted, “It was very, very fortunate for Nic to intervene on me.” He continued, “My new marriage exploded because of my behavior.”
He acknowledged that “she really should have just walked” in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. He continued, “She made a decision to turn around and initiate this intervention in the end, and I’m just so glad she didn’t.”
He later wrote in a statement about how hurt Nicole and those who love and support me have been caused by this. I’m afraid that I have let my guard down when it comes to recovery.
Keith recently made an intriguing comparison to “audible heroin” when listening to Ariana Grande’s new song, “We Can’t Be Friends.” Although it was widely regarded as a lighthearted statement, it allegedly struck a chord with his wife Nicole because it brought their “very dark time back” when they almost split up.
An insider told Woman’s Day magazine that Nicole never wanted to ask him to remove a post, but she was disappointed. The couple “went through hell because of Keith’s addictions,” according to the source.
Cocaine “clause”
According to reports, the couple put in place a “cocaine” clause that would allow Keith to make around £444,000 ($600,000) for every year he married if he stayed sober. Since the clause alone, he is thought to have been sober since 2006, which would increase his earnings by more than £8 million ($11 million) to $11.
In front of pals, “Called out”
According to reports, Keith allegedly called out to their friend about their relationship after feeling “unhappy.” They are simply going through the motions of being married, they say. “The intimacy isn’t there. It would be wonderful if Keith and Keith got back together after this separation, according to a source close to the Daily Mail.
Another source claimed to the Times that this was “allegedly in the presence of friends.” She was “blinded,” they continued, “but we will see how things turn during the holiday season and his upcoming birthday] next month.” They still need some work.
Rumors about new romances
Keith has already found love elsewhere, according to US insiders. One person stated, “Kie is with another woman, and all the signs point to that.” Let’s just say that Nicole is shocked by it even though she doesn’t dispute that.
According to a source, Nicole’s new girlfriend is “younger” than Nicole, and “everyone is talking about it.” According to rumors, he is working with a younger woman in the company. Everyone is talking about it all at once. Everyone wants to know who, but so far, it’s a mystery.
altered the lyrics
In response to rumors about a new love interest, Keith has updated the lyrics to a romantic song about Nicole with Maggie Baugh as the name of her. Keith changed the lyrics to “Baby I’ll be your fighter” from “Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player,” according to a clip that was released online shortly after he performed “The Fighter” at a recent performance.
