A resurfaced video from one of Urban’s recent shows shows the musician switching up the words to “The Fighter,” the 2016 ballad he originally wrote about Kidman.

Instead of singing, “When they’re tryna get to you, baby I’ll be the fighter,” the 57-year-old dad of two belted out, “When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie I’ll be your guitar player.”

The moment quickly sparked speculation, especially since back in 2017, Urban told Billboard the track came straight from a heart-to-heart with Kidman.

“It’s all from a conversation my wife and I had early on in our relationship, that when things get tough, I need to hold her tighter and just try to take care of her,” Urban said at the time. “The song is about wanting to heal somebody, wanting to take care of somebody, wanting to protect somebody. It’s really like a vow in so many ways.”

The video quickly pulled Baugh into the spotlight, with some fans even accusing her of being a factor in the couple’s breakup.

However, her father, Chuck Baugh, quickly shut down the gossip. On October 2, he shared a TikTok of Keith and Maggie performing together and wrote, “NO. Just No.”

Not long after, whispers began swirling around Nashville that Keith was already seeing someone new.

“All the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman. Let’s just say, Nicole doesn’t dispute that, but she’s still shocked over it,” a source close to the actress revealed on September 30.

While no one has confirmed who the “other woman” might be, the young guitarist’s name continues to be tossed around.

“Maggie has been on tour with Keith for the past year and they absolutely love working together,” another insider said on October 2. “Keith is in awe of her talent – and he regularly jokes that someday soon he will be supporting her on tour, not the other way around!”
