The father of two was spotted hopping down a private jet in Hershey today as he prepares to perform at the Giant Center this evening. 

The actor, who is currently on tour, reportedly appeared ready to rock the crowd at the venue without wearing one of his most essential accessories: a wedding band. Yes, Urban's left finger was vacant, which is the most significant confirmation yet of the state of his marriage.

For the rest of his look, Urban paired his black t-shirt with a gray denim jacket and a black face cap as he clutched tightly to his brown bag and another backpack resting on his shoulders.

TMZ reported that, despite his reinvigorated appetite for work since the divorce news broke, insiders have shared that he might be going through a severe midlife crisis.

Well, the midlife crisis tea may not be so serious because, as shared by The Blast, several sources have identified a new woman in Urban's life, who has shifted all his attention away from reconciling.

Sources insist the new relationship is public knowledge all over Nashville, although Kidman reportedly remains shocked at the whole situation. However, no one could confirm for sure when this new fling began or how.

Back in April, Urban was spotted pointing and singing to his guitarist, Maggie Baugh, during his concert, and that performance has been coming to mind a lot these days.

The estranged couple has also separated since June this year, with Urban reportedly moving out of their marital home. The former reality show star has also acquired a new place in Nashville, settling nicely into his single life.

The iconic couple's marriage came crashing down barely four months after she gushed over him for their 19th wedding anniversary. While the chemistry between Kidman and Urban has been undeniable for years, his friends reportedly saw the union ending.

Urban and Kidman's strange living situation reportedly gave the first insight that all was not well in their paradise. An insider shared that their friends were well aware of them living separately before the news of their separation became public last month.

The estranged couple has seemingly gone through rough patches for a few years now, with the fiery passion they once shared visibly declining. Urban reportedly made the move for a separation as he became increasingly frustrated with seeing his wife less and less due to their never-ending work schedules.

If Kidman were not on movie sets, Urban would be belting out tunes at concerts- leaving little room for any intimacy in the marriage. Despite this, some insiders have suggested that the die is not yet cast for the duo.

According to the source, Kidman and Urban may find their rhythm again during the holidays or at his upcoming 58th birthday party. Still, thebulk of the work lies in Kidman's hands to convince her estranged husband of a reconciliation.

The couple welcomed two kids together during their marriage, and now that it is done, Kidman was named the primary residential parent of both girls. The Blast noted that the actress was granted 306 days with the children in the year, while Urban gets to spend only 59.

This means the singer will have the kids every weekend from Saturday morning to Sunday evening, and also have them over on special holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Father's Day. The actress will have her two kids over on Mother's Day and Easter celebration.

Kidman and Urban remain actively involved in their daughter's lives by making joint decisions, and the usually harrowing hurdle of child support was waived as Urban seemingly prepaid all his financial obligations.

Sources are already predicting how full-time parenting will be daunting for the actress, an insider declared: "She never stops working. And rarely does she film in Nashville, so it is going to be one big, transatlantic struggle for her."

While the estranged couple stands tall beside each other on carpets and speaks lovingly of their crafts, one party reportedly feels the strain, and that is Urban.

As reported by The Blast, Urban sent speculations flying when he became visibly uncomfortable at the mention of his wife's on-screen intimacy during an interview in July.

The timing of the interview was not too far from the release of "Babygirl," a movie that followed Kidman's character and her whirlwind affair with a younger staff member played by Harris Dickinson. Kidman has described the role as one of the liberating performances of her life.

However, for Urban, the cycle of separating the art from the artist became increasingly difficult as the years passed. By last year, insiders noted that he resolved to stop seeing the person on screen as his wife and instead chose to enjoy an artist being excellent at what she does.

Is this Keith Urban moving on?
