Celebrity divorces are splashy media events. That is an acutely painful reality. These high-profile marital meltdowns are usually reported widely, buzzed about incessantly, and are fodder for endless fan speculation. So it's understandable that country music star Keith Urban might want to be kind of unobtrusive until the dust cleared after his recent headline-making split with wife Nicole Kidman. The two were married for 19 years and have two teenage daughters.

Now, however, Urban seems to be emerging back into the spotlight. Per Backstage Country via 925xtu.com, the singer resurfaced on Blake Shelton's Instagram with a lighthearted video that is comical, quirky, and fun.
Urban and Blake Shelton Compare Their Boyishly Shaggy Hairdos From Years Ago
The video is a real guffaw-giver. It shows Urban, 58, and Blake Shelton,49, his co-host from the CBS-TV singing competition series The Road, leisurely looking at hilarious throwback pics. They are comparing their wacky hairstyles from years ago and yukking it up. In fact, Shelton captioned it, "You know you learn a lot when you've been on the road for more than a few years.... especially when it comes to your hair.. right @keithurban???"
One snap of Urban barely looks like him. Shelton teases, "Do you care to explain this for me?" Urban has a long blonde 'do and a biker-style leather vest with no shirt. He has sort of a 1960s hippie / beatnik vibe. It scarcely looks like him. "Were you trying to get a country record deal?," Shelton teases his buddy.
Another photo shows Urban with dark wavy locks. Urban sizes himself up with brutal honesty. "You've got the Unabomber thing going on and kind of a Charles Manson influence." Shelton roars with laughter.
In his good-natured way, Shelton makes fun of himself, too. He also sported long hair. The "Sangria" singer exclaims, "My face is, like, two feet across!"
He Plans To Tour Extensively Next Year
Urban's web site lists his tour dates for 2026. He is scheduled to be in far-flung places including the Bahamas, the United Kingdom, California, Florida, Tennessee, Minnesota, and Iowa. Whatever is happening in his personal life, Urban is clearly moving forward resolutely with his red-hot career.
