Keith Urban’s ugliest Nicole Kidman moments from ‘cocaine clause to public dig’
After 19 years of marriage, Nicole Kidman and country singer Keith Urban split, but their relationship has endured struggles, from Keith’s drinking to a brutal blow.
The actress Nicole Kidman and country music duo Keith Urban are divorcing after 19 years of marriage, the showbiz industry learned earlier this week. When it came to their PDA moments, the couple looked flawless, but they also experienced some turbulent times away from the red carpet.
After three months of living apart, Nicole, 58, and her husband, 57, filed for divorce on Tuesday (September 30). However, Keith, who has two daughters, Faith, 13, and Sunday, 15, allegedly initiated their separation and reportedly eluded their Nashville home.
Insiders claim the split was “inevitable” and initially it appeared that things would move forward smoothly and amicably. However, fresh revelations have since surfaced, claiming that Nicole was ‘blindsided’. Here, The Mirror takes a look at what went wrong for one of Hollywood’s most devoted couples…

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.
Mysterious, majestic; Sudan’s Nuba Mountains
Published On 1 Oct 2025
The vast and rugged Nuba Mountains in Sudan, which extend southward in the region’s South Kordofan region, are characterized by rocky hills and dispersed huts.
After the rebel group in charge, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), the government in charge, fought for autonomy in the mountains for decades, the region’s Nuba people have been subject to constant pressure from the government in Khartoum, who have been starving and bombarding them for decades.
The local population has been stung even more by paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) ethnic cleansing campaigns in recent years.
The SPLM-N then allied with the RSF, a group accused of genocide, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing, to take control of the nation from the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) since 2023, at the start of this year.
Residents of the Nuba Mountains expressed mixed emotions and deep resentment about the pact.
Some residents are suspicious of the decision, while others are afraid to speak out loud and rely on their leaders’ convictions to restore peace in the area.
Many people believe the alliance will lead to stability and peace, something that was desperately needed after decades of persistent wars.
The Nuba Mountains have experienced hunger before, and now that the new alliance may have caused more fighting, its spectre is growing.
Famine broke out in some of the mountains in 2024 as a result of aid blockades by the warring parties, failed harvests, and locust swarms.
Since the war started in the region in 2023, the local communities and the more than one million internally displaced people who have moved in have survived on leaves and scraps and are still unprepared for food.
Doctors in the area issue warnings about a siloed mental health crisis affecting the displaced and report a rise in malnutrition, particularly in children and pregnant women.
Yet despite this destruction, a strong spirit of solidarity pervades. Communities support one another across all boundaries of their religious convictions and geographical boundaries.
Gemma Atkinson reveals her daughter Mia, 6, has been diagnosed with epilepsy
Gemma Atkinson, a former Hollyoaks actress, revealed that their six-year-old daughter, Mia, has been diagnosed with epilepsy.
Gemma Atkinson has revealed that her daughter Mia, who is six, has been diagnosed with epilepsy after suffering absence seizures.
The TV presenter and former actress has two children with Strictly Come Dancing pro Gorka Marquez. Mia is their eldest, and has a younger brother called Thiago. Gemma explained on her Just As Well, The Women’s Health Podcast that her daughter was experiencing loss of awareness and zoning out. As a result she is now receiving treatment for epilepsy.
Your brain is affected by epilepsy, which results in seizures. Although it is incurable, a course of treatment is available to manage it. An absence seizure, in which you lose sight of what is happening around you, is one type of seizure.
Gemma stated in the podcast that “my daughter is receiving treatment for epilepsy.” She has “the absence seizures,” she says, “she doesn’t fit or anything; it’s just a stare out and they’ve been doing so much better” a year later.
Gemma continued, “When she learned the diagnosis, I went down a research rabbit hole.” When I was told, “Right, I need to research, research, research, research,” I went down the rabbit hole.
Mia’s doctor suggested trying a ketogenic diet. Epilepsy patients were specifically given the keto diet because it rewires their brains, Gemma said. The doctor advised me that putting her on a ketogenic diet might improve brain function. We’ve experienced improvement, I mean, we’re constantly monitoring, but she’s not for the past six months, to be precise.
Gemma also spoke about when the keto diet first started being used as treatment for epilepsy. She said it began in the 1930s, but that the doctor who found it worked lost all his notes in a fire, setting the research back.
She said that it was initially given to people with epilepsy in the 1920s after it was discovered and that it actually relieved all the symptoms and caused nothing but a decrease in their symptoms. “But then the doctor who made this discovery, with all the research and everything, miraculously burnt down his hospital.”
Gemma met her fiancé and the father of her children, Gorka, when she was on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017. The former actress was partnered with Aljaz Skorjanec and they got to the final, alongside Gorka and his partner Alexandra Burke. Since then, Gemma has appeared on the Strictly Christmas Special to dance with her partner.
The two tied the knot in February 2021, but they have revealed they want to wait until their son’s age before doing so. They told the Express, “We’ve even thought about doing it in a hotel or registry office in Manchester, just the two of us, and then have a big party afterwards.”
Continue reading the article.
Because he’s only two, I believe we should wait until Thiago is a little older, perhaps next year or the year after. He might be a little older, which would be really nice.
Tony Blair’s luxe life now from £35m property empire to astounding net worth
The Mirror examines Tony Blair’s life nearly 20 years after he left Downing Street as he forges an unexpected political relationship with US President Donald Trump.
Tony Blair’s approval ratings dramatically decreased as a result of his support for President George W. Bush’s administration’s controversial foreign policies during his tenure at Number 10.
Now, many years after British soldiers fought and died in the wars of Afghanistan and Iraq, Blair is once again at the centre of one of the most pressing global conflicts of our time. It’s been revealed that the 72-year-old, once the hopeful young face of New Labour, will govern Gaza temporarily alongside President Donald Trump, in a new alliance few saw coming.
This development is a part of the President’s new plans to put an end to the ongoing conflict in Palestine.

Although Blair has a wealth of knowledge in the field of Middle Eastern affairs, the appointment has surprise him. The once-popular PM is viewed as a somewhat antagonistic figure and hasn’t been in the political limelight for a while.
What has Blair been up to since leaving Downing Street, and how has his life now fared?
a 35 million property empire
Back in 2019, the Mail Online reported that Blair’s property empire totalled £39million, made up of 39 homes and flats across the country, from London to Manchester. This includes a £8.5million townhouse in the capital’s exclusive Connaught Square, where he and his wife, Cherie Blair, made a home for themselves after leaving their most famous former address in 2007. As reported by Tatler in 2021, the Blairs paid ‘just’ £3.65 million for the plush property at the time.
This extraordinary portfolio includes a £10 million country home in Wotton Underwood, a charming Buckinghamshire village. The Blairs spent $ 4 million on their rural retreat, which again proved to be an investment.
Meanwhile, it is reported that only the Blairs’ adult children were said to be in possession of homes worth more than £12 million. In addition to the list’s more conventional properties, the list also included several apartments in the booming Manchester suburbs of Whalley Range, Urmston, and Stockport.
Staggering wealth
Blair, who allegedly had less than £20 million worth, downplayed reports of his wealth in an interview with The Telegraph in 2014. He retorted, “Reports of my wealth are wildly exaggerated.” I’m supposed to be worth £100 million, according to what I’ve read. Cherie inquires as to where it is. That is not the value of me. half of that a third of that a quarter of that A fifth of that. I could go on.
However, a publication’s investigation revealed that Blair’s personal wealth was worth more than £60 million the following year. This figure, which is roughly £45.4 million, is thought to be slightly lower by Celebrity Net Worth. Still significantly more than Blair had admitted.
After Downing Street, what career?
After stepping down as Prime Minister, Blair went on to take on a number of roles, including as an adviser to JP Morgan and Zurich International. He has previously served as a Quartet Middle East peace envoy. Since 2016, Blair has been executive chairman of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, which, according to the official website, helps “governments and leaders get things done” by “advising on strategy, policy and delivery.”

Celebrity Big Brother’s Tiffany Pollard comes out as non-binary – ‘I’m out of the closet’
Big Brother alumna Tiffany Pollard has admitted to being non-binary in public, claiming she embraces both her masculine and feminine selves.
Reality TV star Tiffany Pollard has publicly come out as non-binary, opening up about her gender identity and sexual orientation in a series of candid interviews.
The former Flavor of Love and Celebrity Big Brother UK star, 43, explained that she resonates with being non-binary because she experiences both masculine and feminine aspects of herself. “I really do resonate with non-binary because I feel like we are so dual without even recognising it,” she shared this week.
The infamous CBB housemate continued, “Some days, I may feel a lot more masculine, and other days, I may be super feminine.”

Tiffany has also reflected on her early sexual experiences, revealing that she immediately felt right when she first kissed a girl in middle school.
“It had to happen at some point. You gonna come out of that closet, and once you do, it’s like, ‘Okay, wow, this world is open to me in new ways,'” she told PinkNews. “Shoving me back in the closet is never gonna be an option.”
The reality star, who went on to have a name as the “HBIC” on Flavor of Love, has long gained notoriety for her unapologetic demeanor.
On Celebrity Big Brother UK in 2016, Tiffany delivered some of the show’s most unforgettable moments.
These include her infamous “David’s dead” misunderstanding and a string of viral diary room rants where she slammed fellow housemate Gemma Collins.
These events have made her a favorite of the LGBTQIA+ community and given her a surprisingly large following.
Tiffany attributes her resilience, her sincerity, and her iconic and occasionally controversial reality TV moments to her appeal to the community.
She stated on a recent podcast that she felt “bullied a lot, especially when I was young, and I feel like the gays understand that and accept it, and vice versa.”
She also touched on her exploration of masculinity, asking, “I talk like a man, I think like a man… and why do I have to suppress that when I know it exists? ” But can I feel amazing after putting on a pair of heels and a wig? Yes. There is still more to me.
The actress has characterized her life as being “very, very broad,” stating that she has never relinquished her full self-expression.
Tiffany’s sincerity regarding her queer experiences and non-binary identity strengthens her status as a highly regarded and influential figure for representation on reality television and beyond.
