Nicole Kidman Makes Ex Feel ‘Disrespected’ Amid Simon Baker Rumors — Source

Nicole KidmanandSimon Baker's growing closeness is reportedly making her ex,Keith Urban, feel "disrespected." The actors worked together on the film "Scarpetta." They sparked rumors after their cozy display of affection on the red carpet. Sources claim this has not only unsettled both actors' exes, Rebecca Rigg and Urban, but also left the country singer feeling "betrayed."

Nicole Kidman's ex Keith Urban feels 'betrayed' by Simon Baker PDA, per source

Nicole Kidmanseems to have moved on from her divorce from her ex, Keith Urban. The couple was married for almost 19 years. However, they separated last year when the "Babygirl" actor reportedly filed for divorce due to "irreconcilable differences."

Months after the divorce, the Oscar-winning actor made headlines for seemingly indulging in PDA with her "Scarpetta" co-star,Simon Baker. They were allegedly seen holding hands at the movie premiere. This sparked speculation about whether something is going on between the two. This definitely hasn't sat well with Urban, who allegedly feels "betrayed" by the entire turn of events.

A source toldGlobe magazinethat the Grammy-winning artist considers Baker a good friend. This is why he couldn't believe he would do this to him, and this "feels like a betrayal" to him.

While he is being told by others that the closeness was just for film promotion, seeing them holding hands has hit a nerve for him, a source claims. The insider added, "From where he's standing, it looks like a line has been crossed, whether they admit to it or not."

Another source claims that after their divorce, Urban was painted in a negative light. However, as per the source, he never really defended himself or said anything "out of respect for Nicole." However, with these latest developments, he allegedly feels disrespected by his ex-wife. The turn of events has been "extra upsetting" for Urban, who reportedly feels hurt by how things have unfolded in the public eye.
