A resurfaced interview with Maggie Baugh may put those Keith Urban dating rumors to bed once and for all.
The 25-year-old guitarist who was romantically linked to the country music star, 57, after his split from his wife of 19 years, Nicole Kidman, once shared a dating rule that would mean a romance with Urban is off the table.
“There’s always been a rule [that] you can’t date the band members,” Baugh said in a 2017 interview resurfaced by TMZ on October 7. “Because what happens if you break up?”

If Baugh is still following that rule all these years later, it might mean that those dating rumors with Urban are nothing more than rumors. The speculation surfaced after Baugh joined Urban’s High and Alive Tour amid his separation from Kidman. There, Urban changed one of the lines from his song “The Fighter” — which was inspired by Kidman, 58 — to be about Baugh.
“When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player,” Urban sang instead of “When they’re tryna get to you, baby, I’ll be the fighter.”
Days after this moment on stage, reports claimed that Urban was already dating “another woman” after separating from Kidman earlier this year.
“All the signs point to the fact that Keith is with another woman,” a source close to Kidman claimed to TMZ on September 30. “Let’s just say, Nicole doesn’t dispute that, but she’s still shocked over it.” Another insider claimed that rumors about Urban’s new fling are “all over Nashville.”
Sources have speculated that the woman Urban is dating could be Baugh, Alana Springsteen, or Karley Scott Collins.
Kidman and Urban’s split was revealed on September 29, with insiders saying that Urban made the “one-sided” decision to end the relationship early in the summer. A day later, Kidman filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
